New Additions

 

Personally I'm keen to try the new steak and pepper but not sure on the cornish pasty

Does this week get any better

intresting of the chron btw

ATHLETIC’S owners have held talks with a mystery foreign investor who is prepared to buy a 50 per cent stake in the Boundary Park club.

Simon Blitz, Simon Corney and Danny Gazal insist, however, they have no intention of selling, or even relinquishing control, of the club they bought five years ago.

But they say that they are interested in new investment if it would allow them to achieve their goals, both on and off the field.

Managing director Mr Corney admitted that a deal to bring in new investment is still “a long way off.”

He added that the fact the new investor wants a half share in the club and the current owners want to keep a 50-per-cent stake is a potential problem as Trust Oldham hold three-per-cent of the shares.

“That could be an issue further down the line and we might have to ask the Trust whether they would relinquish their shares,” he explained.

Mr Corney added that the owners have turned down at least a dozen previous offers from would-be investors.

He said: “We have had lots of people approach us and we could have brought somebody in some time ago, but we have rebuffed them because we don’t want to sell.

“We have always maintained, however, that if the right investment is offered to us, we would look at it if it enables us to improve things.”

Mr Corney added that the owners would welcome John Wardle, a former chairman and major shareholder at Manchester City, on board.

Mr Wardle, who made a fortune as co-founder of the JD Sports retail chain, has already been involved as a shirt sponsor during Athletic’s Premier League days.

Since his departure from City, Mr Wardle has expressed an interest in returning to football but Athletic say it is wide of the mark to suggest a link-up is imminent.

Mr Corney said: “John Wardle is a good friend of both myself and chief executive Alan Hardy.

“It has been suggested that he wants to get involved now because Joe Royle has returned, but we had already spoken to him some time ago and he has been to a game as our guest.

“If John Wardle wanted to get involved we would be interested. It would not simply be about money, but about his expertise and experience of being chairman of one of the biggest Premier League clubs.”

I feared that too - but thinking about it - we're out of the playoffs. We could possibly (I've not checked this) win every game we have left and not make the playoffs. The team are on a clear downward spiral before Joe takes charge of his first game.

 

So if we don't make the playoffs it's not on Joe for me. It's on a combination of Shez and moreover the players who've let him down.

 

It's like Keegan, except Joe's not a giant c-nut and TTA's not like FattyFatterson and the fans are not like the ToonArmy (thank god).

sry but kevin keegan was gash super gash not like our joe

maybe 50-50 stake

Yeah, because it was Joe ROYLE who has organised this. Contract negotiations take ages, not 3 days......

agreed but surley it must have helped would he have still signed if shez was here ithink not why cry in a match like he was going if he was dead cert on staying, and as a oldham fan you should know by now that for some reason oldham allways sort contracts out when thay have run out and thay get taken away from us for f all i.e chris porter.

Blimey. He really loves latics doesn't he?

i think it he showed that when he scored that goal at home in the transfer window as he started crying

it just shows that joe royal isnt messing around where it would have taken months or when his contract had run out its done and dusted in 3 days does it get any better.

KEEP THE FAITH was on the huge flag that we took to Wembeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrllllleeeeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyy which was due to a direct quote form a Mr Joe Royle, well before that Torex idiot was involved with he club!

 

It is probably more apt to say it now than at any other time in the recent past!

Oh dear cant we use keep the pies

Can we please stop using "KEEP THE FAITH" as it was first said by the person that got us into administration mr moore also its corny as fook cant we use keep the love
