Clifford

He isn't going to pay the debt lads. Better to ride admin now than in the summer when a) the players can be sold and b) the efl can maintain competition numbers more easily. Admin is coming, I'd rather it was now when we'd probably avoid relegation and there is interest in maintaining the club. Doubt the FLG will wait for years to buy the ground which means Mr Blitz may have to think of another way to make his money

Is there a club that's been put in admin that can pay all it's bills? The club would splutter to the summer and a buyer found. I'd be delighted to take the gamble.

Outside of the window?

No one is suggesting admin would be quick or easy however it would rid of us of AL Mo and BO quickly. The players would remain and the club still function. The debts are mainly to blitz and he clearly doesn't want to fold the club. Get it handed in on Monday and work towards getting the club back to where it belongs, 17th in league 1. We won't go down even minus 12 points. Fans will rally round. The EFL won't allow another club to go bust.

Admin is coming as AL won't play ball with anyone. It is a matter of when now he has totally pissed off the landlords. Better now than in the summer as they will sell all the players remaining to cover debts etc.

Admin would mean a 12 point reduction, we could cover this with the current side easily. It would mean getting rid of Mo, AL and Barry before season tickets go on sale for next season. Get it done and dusted tomorrow morning for me.

So you would give your profits without any say on where it was spent having spent millions buying the stand? Jesus. Playershare was specific and I'd expect this fund to be. lets face it the Lemon brothers aren't going to be here long enough to reap the benefits, laundry or no laundry.

I dont believe the idea is to give it him to spend on whatever he wants. I doubt they'll pay the laundry bill or flights or the sporting directors wages. I'd imagine it'll be investment on the field.

Prem sides can operate off TV money alone. They could let people in for free. The club needs bums on seats. They take a lot of cash each home game.

If AL is managing to make some money, by whatever means, from OAFC he will remain. We have seen this with other owners at other clubs. Give them abuse, they stop going but still earn. The only way to get an owner out is to hit them in the pocket. Stop giving them your money. Support the FLG (when the time comes) and get rid of this clown.

Sorry but Barry Jnr stated on twitter "The Trust are there to support the owner make the best out of the time they are owners of our fooball club". No mention of representing the fans. No mention of challenge.

What it is willing or not willing to do I presume you mean. It could carry on, lick arse, exist, keep the owners sweet or it could be a challenging presence and try to represent the views of the growing majority of fans. If the Trust wanted to they could organise protest, action but they chose not to. There are no rules on what they can and can't do.

A mildly worded statement from the Trust. That is hardly having a go is it? Urging people to get together and discuss things. It is nowhere near where most fans think we should be at given the shambles going on. Given Barry Jnr has had the opportunity to be face to face with the Lemon brothers I somehow doubt the tone of those conversations have been anywhere near 'having a go' levels. Those two will not tolerate challenge therefore the trust being on the board is pointless. Worth stating the views of the trust may not be the views of Barry Jnr. I believe we have seen evidence of heads turning once they get onto the board.

He definitely did fill his face and say how wonderful the service was, we definitely don't have evidence he's had a go at AL. No evidence to suggest at all that Barry Jnr would put his place on the board at risk. Actions speak louder than the odd tweet. He chose to sit in there lapping it up and advertising how great it was. Sums it all up Trust wise. Suggest one thing but always always roll over.

And on the age thing, if you are 20 years old go and watch City or United. You've missed our golden period. Do yourself a favour, it's not too late

It's time the trust get Barry Jnrs head literally out of the gravy and make a stand. The club is heading down hill far faster than it did under TTAs. The latest release from FLG clearly shows there is no real issues for the club using the North Stand. The Trust are there to represent the fan but at the moment they seem more intent on kissing arse and as Barry Jnr said himself "advise the owner". They need to listen to the fan and IMO get behind the FLG. I'm not going, many aren't going, the issue will be apathy and people won't care if we go bust. Corney was a slow death, this fella is going to leave us fucked. They don't care about the fan IMO, they don't care about the reputation of the club and i believe they don't overly care about the product on the pitch.

Yeah, that'll show AL.

Corney managed to get loans against the club didn't he. No reason why AL cant do the same. These 2 or 3 year deals that have been handed out on stupid money need paying monthly. If he fucks off in January they'll still need paying long term. Once the Edmondson money and season ticket money are gone, bearing in mind we've no real corporate monies coming in then we'll see real issues. If we go early in the cups i think AL will be gone before the seasons out.

At least Bury got a promotion. We are going to get fucked over to finish 12th in league 2. Typical Latics. Kind of hope Bury go bust so the EFL and FA are forced to further protect clubs from the sort of owners we are enduring.

This. I believe the club will be left with massive debts and contracted wages when him and his brother walk away. All the debt will be with OAFC and he will be accountable for nothing on the other side of the world. The only hope of us not becoming the next Bury is that the FLG are going to own the ground and therefore be able to catch the club when the rug gets pulled / the debts burst the lemmys little game.

Take some medicine you poorly old man. You're letting yourself and your family down here.

Not sure which is more embarrassing, the running of our club commercially or Lag's recent posts on this thread.

He's a great signing and anyone pulling anything negative out of it is poorly.

or a liar
