Would negotiate a plan to pay off TTA debts and negotiate the purchase of the stadium and adjacent land from Brassbank to secure our future.
Install a vibrant, top-management structure that a progressive, ambitious, commercially-forward thinking football club demands.
Introduce exciting people with a proven track record in the running of a successful club and local businesses. Build on recent improvements on the commercial side by enhancing the marketing strategy, increasing Oldham Athletic's visibility in the wider area thus increasing our share of the market attracting disenchanted/ lapsed fans to return without needing to lambast or beg them.
Improve the experience of corporate clients with more professionally presented, more attractive/ lavish hospitality packages available as we progress through the leagues with for example: exclusive corporate gifts, matchday events ex legend players invited/ paid to appear as hosts in sponsor suites etc. Hosting local business and personal events, weddings etc with accommodation packages via the new hotel attached to the stadium (okay...okay...)or - in the meantime, via an agreement struck with The Clayton Green.
Push ahead with a re-development of BP with conferencing facilities, lunching facilities in Wetherspoon style bars with TV's, upgraded fans take-away snack facilities with some kind of museum or themed areas paying homage to past managers, captains, players and fans in various places around the ground. "Build it and they will come". Sponsors will *hopefully* follow our new, positive ethos and contribute to the costs.
Provide Paul Dickov with a £3million playing/ coaching budget and a mandate to get us up in 2-3 years showing progress year-on-year using realistic, pre-agreed objectives and visible indicators.
