deyres42 Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Real opportunity missed here, a bloke seemingly willing to purchase the club, build a new modern stadium and no doubt invest in the playing squad in an attempt to win promotion. But hey, we get to stay at Boundary Park, let's crack open the champagne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hey, we get to stay at Boundary Park, let's crack open the champagne. Not to mention a squad that I believe is fine will not get meddled with, and a manager whom I believe is great will not be replaced or undermined by a face from the past and a meddling intergalactic horse loving warrior.

But hey, we get to stay at Boundary Park, let's crack open the champagne. If he was so willing to purchase the club, where's the recent bid? If he wanted to build a stadium, why couldn't he name a site for it? Did he pay for the Salford one? I think he expected council tax payers to fund any stadium. I'm all for a loaded bloke with good intentions taking over. But this all seemed a bit vague. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hey, we get to stay at Boundary Park, let's crack open the champagne. Appearances can be deceptive. Where was his bid. He did not even contact SC for 6 months, so I do not consider him a serious bidder. For all we know he may have thought he could get away with a really low and ridiculous bid. Plus what O4U said, was there a viable site, or was he just shooting from the hip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess we'll never know, truth probably lies somewhere in the middle, I wouldn't be quite as keen as some to take anything Corney says as gospel though. Seems pretty clear that the current valuation that the owners want is not realistic so we are stuck with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP1960 Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 (edited) I feel comfortable with the current set up, there looks to be some stability, some good football on the pitch, and a very promising youth set up. We may stay in Division One this season, but there's the possibility of a trip to Wembley and cash to build the squad if Tarkowski or Danny Philiskirlk are snapped up by the big guns.

help_shiny Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Makes me laugh that Corney says he wont sell to someone who wants to move from Boundary Park. As if that has been his sacred mission all along. Anyway,guess it's SC for perpetuity now. Joy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joy He does qualify that by saying that they did want to once but now he just wants the new stand up and to redevelop the others. And he knows/thinks it is pie in the sky for Koukash or anyone else to bring about a new stadium elsewhere in the town based on his dealings with Oldham council.

rudemedic Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Matt Chambers seems to be of the opinion that Drmarwank is him, and judging by who he follows I'm inclined to think so too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems pretty clear that the current valuation that the owners want is not realistic so we are stuck with them. Confusion may persist for readers of the local press. The rarely-wrong Chron refers to Corney’s statement made this week and says: no bid was even lodged for the football club. They were too far apart in valuations for that. http://www.oldham-chronicle.co.uk/news-features/10/oldham-athletic-news/83465/right-call-to-stand-firm-with-plan The MEN continues to report: (Simon Corney) dismissed an offer for the club from Salford Red Devils supremo Marwan Koukash. http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/lee-johnson-says-only-consider-6326377 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koukash offers, about a fiver," whilst they're chatting about horses, Mr Corey tells him to :censored: off as it's worth £730m.

mikeroyboy Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 In chronological terms Corney saying he hasn't had any dealings with Koukash for seven months stacks up. This would tie in with Corney giving or getting the go ahead to begin work on the new stand, an act of 'up yours' in defiance. He certainly sounded very committed and upbeat on the radio.
