kowenicki Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Could do with an update or at least a bit of inside info from those in the know. Latics leaks like an old tub but OEC seems immune. Blog please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither have materialised. I dont doubt they read this forum though, so we might get something soon. Edited July 6, 2019 by kowenicki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lags Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 I am not sure what the end goal is with all this. No one is really saying what that is. I'd be far happier someone coming along and making OAFC whole again, Surely that's the clubs best chance. Still I am prepared to wait to hear the ultimate plan.

Some here would be up in arms if the owner was as quiet and secretive as this group seem to be. Two vague blog posts from unknown individuals in the last 3 months. Lookers hasn't even asked for a “plan” or some “kom-Uni-Kay-shun yet”. Anyhow, I’ll wait and hopefully communication will ramp up and it’ll be good news. Though I do wonder how it can lead to anything other than conflict given the people involved so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be ready to save the club, or begin a Phoenix if/when administration or liquidation occurs. No-one knows with the other fella. If/when, the FLG own the land and the stand, presently all they do is run the OEC, I might be more inclined to ask for a Plan. Blitz hasn’t got away without stern criticism from me on here.... ....but we’ve covered this topic before, you choose either ignore it, or you’re forgetful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I do wonder how it can lead to anything other than conflict given the people involved so far. A free pass? The two situations aren't in any way comparable. AL has been in charge of the football club for how long now and all we've seen so far is a relegation, multiple employee complaints, our lowest finish in 40 years or something, and an underwhelming squad head off on a pre season tour. The fan led group have had ownership of the OEC for a couple of weeks (actually, has it even gone through yet?) and have released a video of the renovations to the top floor for a new supporters bar. Why do they need to put out more of a plan at such an early stage? And why would we need one? They aren't involved in the football club, which is why we're all here, not to know the ins and outs of the workings of a conference centre. You're trying to generate some sort of hypocrisy where it doesn't exist. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're essentially a business next to the club for the moment though, no connection. We haven't had an update from B&Q on their upcoming range of garden furniture either. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're essentially a business next to the club for the moment though-are they, how do you know, nobody knows who they might be. Just because they want to buy the ground/stand doesn't mean they have the best interests of the club at heart. They are potentially a game changer for our club, so is there not some responsibility with that to keep folks updated? Something the trust tried to do and got murdered for trying.So yes they are getting a free ride at the moment. Or do we have to put up with the quote "they are good people" and be happy with that?
