With Eaves and possibly Michah money added to a new stadium, the financial position might look reasonable to new investors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Ritchie Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 I think it is very possible if we can string a few results together. If we are looking good by November that is when I think people might move in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlossopLatic Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 With Eaves and possibly Michah money added to a new stadium, the financial position might look reasonable to new investors. More so the new stadium than any Micah or Evaes money as that could offer something long term something has to happen in the next 12 month on that front but as 12 months have gone by and we have got absolutely knowhere other than some pretty pictures. Failing that if Blitz and Gazal are to remain true to their word of not leaving us in administration then they will have to sacrifice the rest of the boundary Park land. Ofcourse if we suddenly make startling progress in the development of the stadium and have a good season on the pitch with attendences rising and a cup run which makes the club money then who's to say they might even have a change of heart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeslover Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 the Eaves and Micah money belong to Simon Blitz Precisely so. I have been trying to make the point that it doesn't matter a toss which company owns what asset, if at some point Simon and Danny decide to stop owning all or part of the whole show, it has always been the case that they can do it in a way that suits the club, or doesn't, it's always been about how they choose to play it. It's only window dressing where the assets and liabilities are stored. I believe and hope that they are good guys and want to leave us in a decent position, but I have nothing to guarantee that.

Crusoe Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 This "feelgood factor" will only help attract investors if it translates consistently into points and bums on seats. No investor we'd want will buy the club purely on the basis of a good vibe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forever blue Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 How about Corney advertising the club for sale in Hong Kong China or Thailand. Thats were the money seems to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stitch_KTF Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Are you saying Simon Blitz does have something to with Latics after all? He resigned as chairman but still owns the club (along with Gazal). I understand that he decided he couldn't continue topping up the playing budget, but I don't understand why he felt he had to coincide this with stepping down as chairman.

Hometownclub Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Can the present Latics feelgood factor attract new investors...any views on this ? No. Football clubs in the lower leagues losing money week on week are never going to be attractive investment propositions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was all to do with sheilding themselves from any future financial turmoil the club may encounter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
