oafc0000 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Maybe we can persuade this man the Latics are a better option than Rangers? http://talksport.com/football/sarver-pulls-out-takeover-talks-glasgow-rangers-150112131949 Someone send him an email Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostofcecere Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) Nobody in their right mind would invest in a League 1 football club nowadays except for a genuine supporter of a particular club........... and then you've still got to be prepared to lose a lot of money. The only exceptions are the likes of Sheffield United and Coventry who have potential to get to the Premier League. Those expecting a knight in shining armour to come along and throw pots of money at us will have a long wait.

oafc0000 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I think the reality is Blitz probably holds the key to how smellable we are... How much would it cost someone to come in and buy the club and reaming land ? Will Blitz put in writing (if not already done so) that the debt will only be called if the club gets in the Prem (or words to say when we can afford to do so)... Going to be interesting... This day would of come one day though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimsleftfoot Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) I heard over the weekend from a couple of people who work at the club that Corney had told them he'd had enough and was selling up. I also heard, all be it in a pub that Corney had approached the CEO at Shrewsbury who is apparently an Oldham supporter to come in as MD and to assist in the selling of the club. I am only passing on what I heard so don't shoot me!!

I don't think its as clear cut as that... but I do see your point... but lets presume no one is going to "buy" us.... What happens now if SC has no one to sell us too ? Same situation we have been in for years... Edited January 13, 2015 by oafc0000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beag_teeets Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Corney "I've had enough" 'After 12 years'... Try after over 30 years pal. We've all had enough! Granted I'm not putting in the same level of money but still, Latics does do something funny to you to make you keep going back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIZZO83 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 We do have debt and it has increased year on year, its not with the banks its purely with the directors in the form of Directors loans. The accounts I downloaded last year showed a directors loan totalling £6m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIKI1234 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Whats changed? Hasnt he been saying this for the past few years. My guess is that in 12 months time he is still here. If not C'est la vie. Latics will always be here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChaddySmoker Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 he said he was prepared to write off the rest, he would make some back on the land, he said he had spent around £6m on all the land get £5m back and keep a lot of land for continued development project limiting his losses further I am not disputing what he would like to happen but really I cannot see how they will ever get back more for the land than they paid OMBC for it, reduced for those sections sold off for housing etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

palmer1 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Ok he has had enough? Hasn't the club always been for sale for the right offer? So if he is a man of his word nothing changes until the right offer comes in. He may cut his losses and sell for less to get away. What's his alternative just walk away stop, stop paying bills,wages etc. I don't think he would.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
