IceStationLatic Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 He is a Blackpool fan, worked for a short time at Latics! If he is sensible he will stay at Shrewsbury He is an Oldham fan. He just did a lot of fans stuff at Blackpool, and did a column for the paper, so people think he's a Blackpool fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghostofcecere Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Simon Corney today in the Chron: “I would like to find a buyer. Hopefully it will be a lot more sellable with a new stand there. And I would want it to go to the right person.” http://www.oldham-chronicle.co.uk/news-features/8/news-headlines/89814/latics-owner-ive-had-enough I'm feeling a bit more comfortable about this if we take what's been said at face value. His position hasn't really changed, it seems to me he's just using last weeks debacle now as a way of getting a bit of publicity that he's willing to sell. he can spread the word further now to any interested parties as at the moment this news is likely to be spread nationally.

jimsleftfoot Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) Spot on! I think this is more to do with trying to get some free advertising from the Nationals. Edited January 13, 2015 by jimsleftfoot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diego_Sideburns Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I think this is more to do with trying to get some free advertising from the Nationals. He seems to have followed advice given to him on here to advertise widely the fact that the Club is for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leeslover Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 http://www.oldhamathletic.co.uk/news/article/personal-message-from-simon-2200815.aspx Best statement I've read in over a week. Agreed. More than anything it's just nice that someone has acknowledged that maybe some things weren't done quite as well as they could have been and we aren't idiots for thinking that it could have been handled better. I feel like a burden has been lifted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deyres42 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Is the Chron just operating on a clickbait mantra now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stargazer Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I thought this saga would be one too many & I can fully understand why has had enough & wants out. He and the other investors saved the club & that will always be their legacy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostofcecere Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I wonder if it was the Chron leaking information last week and this is Mr.Corney's revenge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue_Guru Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 If Simon Corney did go i imagine that would bring LJ's loyalty to the club down a peg or two...i get the impression SC is a good chairman to have above you and they both have a good working relationship...

singe Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I am a tad confused by the personal statement. He repeats the line of under estimating the fury, which he stated he did not the other day. Matt Chambers has no reason to lie, does not have a record of overly sensationalising. His quotes are in quotation marks, Corney would have grounds to sue if they were not said. There is a world of difference between being on open sale and actively exiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue_Guru Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Maybe Corneys comments in the Chron were from a few days ago and in the heat of the moment...upon reflection SC may have calmed down and re-evaluated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfatjoe1 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I like his statement. Simple and to the point. Let's draw a line under it and move on together. We can pick the bones out of this until all we're left with is an even soggier mess. Move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
