I could have drawn up a plan like that myself over a few pints on a Sunday afternoon - and I wouldn’t be known for my plan drawing abilities. 

 

There’s nothing in it or to it. 

100% this 

Sounds very positive. Good luck to them 

NDAs are pretty common practice. Nothing to be suspicious about at all.

It’s really not that confusing in my eyes. 

Just have to wait and hope the fan led group are able to buy boundary park. If not it continues as per. 

Whats to be confused about ? 

Exactly my read of it.

Some people on here would really struggle with issues with actual complexity.

Exciting news. Good luck to all involved.

He’s tidy on the ball Alf, I’ll agree with that.... but he doesn’t threaten a great deal, it’s all in front of the opposition.

Totally agree.

Silly from Baxter. Pen to them

I used to play Sunday league with better forwards than Vera

He is crap, fancy him getting on the end of something though (if he stays on)

Edit: looks like he isnt

Vera will score in this game

Any truth in the Urko Vera rumour?

 

Had more clubs than Nick Faldo.

He has definitely been in Oldham for the last few days. 100% certain of that.

I've sent some cash. Keep up the good work guys. 

Away days were great in the Dowie play off season. Think we stayed unbeaten for a good chunk of the season.

Same again please! (Without the financial mess at the end, and preferably a better end result)

Well from what I can see in Royton and what I hear this is spot on.

 

Give Simon a break, get behind him, Shez and the team and let the "back room boys" get on with it.

 

Yes we give up our Saturday Afternoons and Tuesday nights to support out team but at least most on OWTB aren't armchair fans supporting some premier league teams from the Pig and Virgin watching Sky with a pint of Black Sheep

 

Thanks to the collective who turned out to meet Simon and team. Well done and thanks.

Wasn't he telling us a little while ago that he brought the club to a position where he could get knocked down by a bus and the club would be able to take care of itself, as it was covering its own costs? Now he's claiming he's chucking £1.3m of his own money at it every year. Give me a break.

Out of interest, do you think that SC (or the T3A as a group) are cynically trying to bleed the club dry or are you just annoyed with the apparent (but not proven) incompetence shown by him? I think it's an important distinction.

If the club is being subsidised to the tune of £1.3m per season and we have a bottom 6/8 budget then I think it's unrealistic to expect more.

 

 

 

That is a substantial loss - and whilst I am sure that it's tax deductible, it is still a lot of money.

 

If SC is doing that himself then no wonder he wants to sell.

Absolutely this!! People need to give the guy a :censored:ing break.

I'm sure he regrets a lot of things, but for the most part his heart (and most certainly his wallet) are in the right place.

Yes there have been some monumental balls ups over the last 5 years, but without this substantial subsidy being pumped in by SC where would we be? I call it a subsidy because the size of it has got to a level where he could have just cut his losses.

There's absolutely nothing untoward re: brassbank.

And the people asking for the asking price for the club to be made public. Please, oh please, get a grip.

Rant over

Please can anyone explain to me the reasoning behind the FA imposed minimum of£10 per game.

Seems utterly pointless.

Sorry, I can't hold it in any longer........... What's the effin point in voting 'Don't Know' in a poll. FFS if you do not have an opinion on a matter why inform others that you don't have a preference, we don't want to know. It's a poll FFS. And Mr Pollster, don't give people a cop out option in future.

 

Can I suggest that all 7 of you spend 5 minutes considering both scenarios then choose which you prefer and vote accordingly - it's called decision making, it's what life's all about and it's effin easy. Going to the effort of voting simply to say 'I don't know' is a waste of time and makes you look stupid so give yourselves a shake and get off the fence.

 

Anyone got any thoughts on what to have for tea tonight, I can't decide

This,this, a thousand times this

Big respect to the club for making this bold - and in my opinion correct - decision.

Yeah some people will bitch and moan, but these are the type of people who love to moan about anything and everything.

From an objective point of view this is such a no brainer.

Actually looking forward to next season now!!

Just upped my monthly s/o from £5 to £10.

Come on oldham!

Anyone has the right to sign yet another moronic petition. However the truth is, unless you are a member of the PFA its really nothing to do with you whatsoever.

the best way to move on from this is to hand out a 4 - 0 drubbing on Saturday. Lets get back to the football. Lets get behind LJ, Lets just be proud of the current squad of players, coaching staff and manager.

Come on Oldham!

Didn't want him here but according to Sky Sports News the staff and the board at the club have been receiving death threats as well as their families. If that's the case then I really wish we did sign him now (but then again I'm a stubborn prick)

i have the same feelings as this as i too am a stubborn prick, (although its obviously easy for us to say when it isn't our families being threatened)

Thanks for response Rummy, ive only just reactivated my paypal account. Maybe it takes a while to awake from its slumber, i'll try again tomorrow.

Hi Admins

Im trying to donate but am struggling to send to owtb.co.uk@gmail.com, via paypal even when following the link.

can i send directly to a bank account?

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK

Cheers

:censored: off and not sign for my football club

 

why should we have to pick up his baggage.

Im kind of playing devil's advocate here, but i will do because all this moral bull:censored: is a bit tiresome.....

If every employer refused to take on ex convicts there would be a mass of dangerous underclass who were never allowed to stop living outside of the law.

Or we would have to set up a new welfare benefit paid only to released ex cons.

Maybe we should just send them to australia....
