Frankly Mr Shankly Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I love him just for a change to the monotony of the Hyde United, Stalybridge, Rhyl pre-season tour really. He is pretty much a :censored: for anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

singe Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) Amazing read. How ironic to see Bovis (part 05) invloved with Bates, whislt Chairman of Latics (just!) and his dodgy building in BVI! Their second more direct involvement with LAtics about 20 years later seemed more positive! Edited April 29, 2014 by singe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego_Sideburns Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 The latest Ken Bates interview in the Chron reveals his £85,000 input to Latics was in the form of loans. A quote from him about social media: “Football is so different now. In the old days, fans went to watch their team play. Now they go to watch them win. You used to be judged weekly, now it’s hourly." http://www.oldham-chronicle.co.uk/news-features/10/oldham-athletic-news/90702/social-medias-a-menace-says-bates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al_bro Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 His view of the FL is accurate. If they hadn't grabbed at the £15m from ITV digital, and gone with the Premierships offer of 20% of TV revenue, we would now have a new stadium and £14m income from the next deal. That's if the money had been shared out equally between all FL clubs, which by now it probably wouldn't be. No doubt the Championship would be demanding at least 1/2 of the £1bn.
