ghostofcecere Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 ‘There really is no difference’? That just sums up how far away you are from understanding the core issue. A shareholder is part owner of a company – they share the profits and the losses. They have their say in the decisions the board of directors take and indeed who the directors are. They are also in danger of losing all their investment. In virtually all cases a football fan is a customer of a business. You are not buying shares in your chosen club, you are buying admission to a football match. And ‘fans’ damn well please themselves whether they go to a match or not. At ZERO financial risk! The 3 A’s rescued us from admin with a group of players on unaffordable contracts. With good intensions they planned to redevelop the ground financed by building houses on the clubs land. Quite reasonable IMO! There original plan (close to the top of the housing boom) was for cira 600 units, far too ambitious from a planning point of view IMO. It not unsurprisingly failed planning. The severe and long lasting housing and financial crash followed but not the desire to create something better for the club. The next disaster to befall Corney was the Failsworth debacle where the council assured the club that the site could be made available but instead turned into a legal quagmire and failure. You say he has failed miserably from your ‘no risk’ comfy chair. I say he has failed ‘with credit’ in a very difficult period for many business’s. Knocking down the Ford Stand was a major ‘unforced’ error IMO and I seem to remember Corney admitting that. But that’s what happens when you are making ALL the decisions. Each of us can identify with that in our own lives – or would you disagree? Do you ever look across at the new stand and wonder ‘whos pocket has the finance come out of’? Do you ever look at L2, The Conference and beyond and think ‘it could be much worse’ when you see the array of former peers, some of the almost sunk without trace? I don’t think you do. You point at Corney and Co’s failures without making any attempt to be constructive in how it should have been done and how it should have been financed or who he should have signed. At the moment he is building a new stand on 4,000 gates. He is doing it to aid extricating himself from a nightmare and do the honourable thing for the fans. IMO Great post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josh_latics Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Some points he's made: * Strongest set of applications he's had since he's been here * Always in contact with Dowie on a personal level (Seems to be lots of fans wanting Dowie) * Dowie would be fantastic for us, will have a chat with him next week * Wants someone who whole board warms to * Wouldn't rule out Holden and Lockwood - will be in charge for next two games anyway * Doesn't have to panic and rush appointment cause position we are in * Scholes - Corney has spoken to him, and speaks on regular basis, job may interest him at some point. Speaking to him later in week. Scholes hasn't applied. * Corney would love to have Scholes on board * "One day he [scholes] will manage the club" !!!!
