singe Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) I entirely disagree. If Mr Corney is telling a group of people who he wouldn't know from Adam (apart from NNN) important confidential information that is insane. If doing so is a reason not to record what was meant to be a free and open public discussion then so much the worse. I didn't mean that LL, I meant about causing idle speculation (he hasn't, he's been very factual but that was because he was careful) and fanning the flames before everyone has agreed the minutes. Clearly if it had been said and it had been recorded it would be out in the open. Plus we don't know it is the same Martin Lee as speculated, so by stating what was said on his own might be giving credence to identifying someone mistakenly. Not a biggy, just being careful. I only meant it like if the Trust had a meeting and someone came on here and said everything in not quite the right context, which has happened. I wasn't proposing it being secret, and it wasn't that secret as said in an earlier post, they were in fulls scarves, went to Nandos and OEC etc. Edited January 25, 2017 by singe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senor_Coconut Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 You've got to imagine too big for us, realistically. He could have a pick of football clubs. Maybe just maybe we get some luck we are due, I imagine they are in the UK/Europe looking at a number of clubs and we've managed to get them to come to BP for a game. Highly doubt anything will come of it and personally I hope it doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevie_J Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Is it just me or are people really getting ahead of themselves on this thread? Have I missed something or is the full extent of what we know that a couple of Chinese fellers attended the game as Corney's guests? And that they were taken for some ropey, overpriced chicken?

kowenicki Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Just against foreign ownership in football. Any particular reason? Why is a foreign owner worse than an owner from London for instance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruitygoo Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Just against foreign ownership in football. Chris moore did a great job for us.. The Oystons for Blackpool... Oh its ok they're not johnny foreigner. Yeah, we should really use nationality to decide who owns a club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stagger Lee Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Exactly why go to nandos. So that they would be more impressed by the master chef meal at the OEC later on that night? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ignore the fact that Corney invested circa £25,000 to get as many people into the ground as possible, you could be right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nohairdontcare Posted January 25, 2017 Author Share Posted January 25, 2017 I don't know about anyone else, but I'd love a Nando's right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worcester Owl Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Chron have an constant downer on the club, love being the bearer of bad news. Absolute nonsense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OAFCM35 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I can't believe I'm even typing this - but it's totally possible that the Chinese millionaires asked for Corney to take them to Nando's cos they like it. The lack of any mention of them in the Chron is very interesting - and in my opinion would only happen at the request of the club. Maybe he wanted to show the potential new investors that oldham as a town is also progressing.. trams, new cinema etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Combo Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 You've got to imagine too big for us, realistically. He sponsors the whole Portugese Premier League! He could have a pick of football clubs. Maybe just maybe we get some luck we are due. Not necessarily...he bought a struggling Aussie team in the Newcastle jets for 5million Australian dollars and their fan base isnt massive. So who knows we might be pleasantly surprised although knowing our luck Scholesy might try and poach them to invest into Salford fc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafc_lover Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 What's funny? The town is progressing. Albeit slowly. Have you been to the new cinema? It's fantastic.

That good in fact, I've been back 3 times and eaten in each of the restaurants. Have you been to Hong Kong or Shenzhen? I'd imagine if SC took them out to see a cinema and some trams as part of his pitch they might not have even made it to Nando's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
