Latics_Fanatic Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Harry Redknapp won’t go north of Watford. Annoyingly, Ashley would probably be better than our current owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annoyingly, Ashley would probably be better than our current owner. I’d take Ashley. His money would go a lot further in the fourth division. Besides we already have the fact that both St James Park and Boundary Park were once called Sports Direct.com Arena/ Park in common. And his record of hiring and firing managers is familiar too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlossopLatic Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Arry would get bored and bugger off. Ashley saw Newcastle as one of the few clubs he could make money out of. Id imagine both will be looking for a club in the Championship probably a southern one who they could take into the Premiership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd guess Southend and Dagenham would be obvious contenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arry and Latics fans have one thing in common, they both thought Alan Groves was brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they looking as individuals or a partnership? If they are separate I would prefer Arry, but as Latics Fanatic says he won't want a Northern club. Ashley would be very controversial and would be looking to make money out of it. We don't have a big enough fan base for him, even if he was willing to start in L2.

League one forever Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Does anybody think AL would sell? I don’t. I think it would need to be relatively silly money (which no one will pay, especially with blitz wanting his cut as well) for him to do one.

Abdallah has spent and lost a lot of money since buying parts of the club - I imagine that debts have increased sharply in the past three months. He may not be able to carry on alone or even at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may not be able to carry on alone or even at all Both rational and fair, but there’s something about him that says to me he enjoys the ego and kudos of owning the club more than what he’s lost financially. Pragmatic and balanced aren’t his attributes. I think he’d be more than comfortable under the cloud of corona to keep cutting back and own us in non league. Rather than sell, cut his losses and swallow his pride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OAFC_ULTRA Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 If the club finances go tits up him and that numpty in the fleece will blame corona virus and some idiots will believe them.

Just how big a part is yet to be determined but the longer it takes to get the 20/21 season underway with fans in attendance, the greater the impact will be.

al_bro Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 If the Huddersfield owner is anywhere near right, then potential buyers will have a lucrative choice. How many National League teams will survive? The CEO of Astra Zeneca has said that he is very confident the vaccine created by the team in Oxford will by successful. They will make 1bn. by the end of the year, and It will be available from September. They will know for sure in late June, and the Government has ordered 100m vaccines. If this happens, I would expect next season would probably start in October, with the transfer window opened up until then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
