Gaz_Oafc Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 FWIW I work with someone who knows someone who works at SCR and all the talk over there is that its us, though no official word from anybody senior, its probably just come from the MEN.

jsslatic Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I love how people read something on the internet and immediately treat it as gospel. I disagree with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafcprozac Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Keegan in the Advertiser now saying 'unlikely', one school of thought apparently is he is playing off the RFL whom he feels is victimising SCR.

BP1960 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 (edited) Sorry folks but it isnt even us. There was a conversation and SC scared him off with the asking price, so he moved on to another club, preston I think. Why print it in the Chron and M.E.N then ?

Monty Burns Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Why print it in the Chron and M.E.N then ? Why not? They got whiff of a half story that would sell some papers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pine Villains Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 (edited) Why print it in the Chron and M.E.N then ? because they want to sell you papers and get cash for your clicks. local papers like this are not arsed about validity or accuracy, more bothered about how much attention they can get by doing as little as possible. in other words churnalism. and they're not ashamed of it either. they take you for mugs.

Gaz_Oafc Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 He's being urged not to takeover us by a former coach of SCR in the MEN. Kevin Ashcroft says the job on at SCR is far too demanding to consider bankrolling us at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimsleftfoot Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 (edited) could anyone who has the advertiser put a quick summary on about whats been said (rarely get it at my house) MK deal is unlikely but we are linked to indian tycoon Alland Sundry and Swedish Billionaire Butt Nothingslikelytohappensson.

help_shiny Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I reckon this one has a lot more legs in it yet, whatever the Advertiser says. If Koukash is at the Broncos v Salford game in a couple of weeks I'm going to do whatever it takes If, however, Corney has scared him off for ever with his asking price then I'd suggest that we are completely and utterly f'd. If spendthrift multimillionaires cant afford to buy us because of all that lovely lovely land we're sitting on then we're dooooooooooooooooooooooomed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I have thought all along that we are not big enough, and don't have the fan base for this chap. Preston's ground is already developed and needs nothing spending on it, and as he says the remedy is already their. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With us we are almost at rock bottom and you could get us up to a level with say Preston, and maybe even make a little money along the way.

Lags Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Trevor Hemmings is the owner I think Lags. OK, thought it was Lindsay, I seem to recall him interviewed when Taggart took his players back upon the sacking for his lad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
help_shiny Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 A couple of posters say it's Preston with an air of authority...does it say this in the Advertiser or is it just your opinion (or you've heard it elsewhere?) The only place I've seen it is on this forum. Little fact...PNE are over £40M in debt.Another point...Koukash said he was going to bring back figures from when the club was big....who?Tom Finney?

MK comments make out he is mid-negotiation with the mystery club, and a deal is imminent; yet SC stated he met MK weeks ago and has heard nothing since so I'd say MK wasn't keen and took his interest elsewhere unfortunately.

Roger Ritchie Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 RR is spot on with this we have rugby legends and stars all round us at home. Plenty of room to develop one of biggest sporting crimes from Oldham was what happened to Oldham RFL. True World class stars on doorstep and yet failed. Latics deserve some luck and this guy has a bit of passion for what he does the thought of a proper run professional club excites me and gives me thoughts of progress. He isnt for throwing money down a drain has some failures ie the hotel in Liverpool but at least has a vision. Im in. It is criminal, if you were to look at the best players of the Super League Era you would have the following right at the top: Sculthorpe (Paul) Harris Sinfield. Then if you look at all the rest who have made excellent careers at the highest level. The fact the sport failed in Oldham is almost unfathomable.
