Waiting for the EFL to reach the right decision is asking a lot.

I would agree. But the precedent has been set a number of times with regards Salford and the Class of 92.

The one thing that does not square up up (I am9 9.99% doubtful he will come) is that Butt said he was desperate to get back into football, Scholes was quoted as " I have made no secret I do want to get back into football in some capacity", he's on record that he applied las time , and yet he said Whether that conflicts with Salford I don't know the implications of that yet.  He's would surely know the exact implications as he  desperately wants to get back into football.

 

Having read the EFL rules regarding “dual interests”, there are a number of conditions that apply and which would necessitate an application to the EFL to bring any such potential dual interests to their attention.  Some of those are quoted earlier in this thread.  It doesn’t mean that someone can’t have a dual interest, it just requires that the EFL need to be aware of it and give their blessing before the person can be appointed.  

Presumably there will will be similar governance and “cross-affiliation” rules covering the Premier League (Butt); FA (Neville G and P); The Welsh FA (Giggs); UEFA (Neville G) and FIFA (Beckham) for their past and present dual interests. Why should it be any different for Scholes?

Suggests to me that any approval of dual interest for Scholes is just a formality and quite possibly, until the confirmation is given by the EFL, the reason why there has been no formal response from OAFC or Scholes himself.

So, unless the EFL say “no”, Scholes doesn’t have to give up his 10% in Salford to become manager of Latics.

Should do away with the season ticket holders first rule really, start putting families first.

We delaying until after the transfer window closes?

 

Scholes can't interfere with AL's signings if they're already in!

Having been to Dubai a few times, I can confirm that they have phones and WiFi.  Might be one of the reasons why Scholes was one of the first investors buying a piece of Palm Island?  AL may just pop round for a brew!

AL made a number of decisions and financial commitments before he officially owned Latics so I don’t see any reason why Scholes can’t have similar input regarding players prior to being announced as manager.

Yes they are clearly doing it wrong, families of 4 must come first.

Not Season Ticket holders?  

Goalposts moving again or are you just acting like a hurt child today?  Your posts would suggest that’s the case.

They have silly rules like needing a buying history or a DN postcode.

Thank fuck that Latics allowed me to buy 4 tickets for me and my 3 sons despite my DL postcode.

Maybe you should get on the Donny website and help educate their ticket office staff?

Point of principle, shouldn't matter how often these type of games come around.

One of your better fishing trips today Eyresy.

The value that you add is great.

Well done

Not sold out have we ? 

It was still saying they were only available to Season Ticket holders. I emailed the Club and Billy sorted it straight away.  Legend. 

You should be ok to order now but if not, send an email to supporter.services@oldhamathletic.co.uk.

FWIW I have it on good authority that Scholes has taken the job, my sister and brother in law are close friends and saw him this morning. I asked if they knew who his assisstant would be but they didnt ask!! They said he is good mates with Nicky Butt.

Until it’s confirmed by Grasscroft Latic, this will just be an unsubstantiated rumour I’m afraid

Did Scholes leap out of his seat…??

Banged his head off the dugout roof Dave.

Working for me.  Had to reboot my phone though just before kick off.  Hope you get sorted as it has been fine since kick-off.

Hearsay or your own eyes IC ? 

Just checked with mate who texted me.  He has now said it was a rumour at the ground and he didn’t see them himself.  

Apologies if this turns out to be bollocks

Text from a mate at the game.  No reason to disbelieve it and they were spotted walking up to the ground so not sure where they are sitting/ standing. 

Just now, Bristolatic said:

 

Probably both of the above. 

Or more likely a trip to Gordon’s Takeaway with Muttley McLad after the game?

Scholes and Butt in attendance.

the last 184 from uppermill was the dreamers express after a night around uppermill pile on with yer mates to dreamers 

Happy memories!  Always got into Dreamers in time for Soft Cell and Tainted Love. Don’t think they had a DJ - just the same tape they played every night!

Sounds like there were a few of us with the same routine!

Fair enough, I don't think we'll reach agreement on this one but at least you have half an idea what you're talking about!

No worries.

Until the next time I can arsed trying to nail jelly to a wall

Wiki does say Grasscroft so that must be right  

She was a United fan.  Had a little ‘Fred the Red’ tattoo on her arse.  

Wiki is definitely more trustworthy in that case

Apologies  edited accordingly.

I’m pretty sure his house is in Friezland

An ex-girlfriend of mine went to his wedding and visited the Scholes’ regularly!

The income is only there if you include it in the budget which would have been submitted pre Fulham anyway (I think)

If we are wanting to sign players in January knowing only too well about the SCMP regulations and financial embargoes, I think it’s a pretty good shout that the round 1 and 2 money would have been included in the budget.  I’d guess the round 3 money will have been added now too.

The delay with Sefil was more likely due to dealing with the Martinique FA to get international clearance.

2 minutes ago, deyres42 said:

It's not irrelevant if it isn't an obligation though.

What?

We had the income.  That gave scope to increase the wage bill.  Therefore the reason we were unable to sign Sefil in the same week as we signed Sylla was not due to a financial embargo under SCMP.

1 minute ago, deyres42 said:

I have no idea. Is there an obligation for it to go into the playing budget?

Irrelevant.  It is club income that increases the amount that potentially can be spent under the SCMP.  The Fulham game will have increased that even further.
