I seem to recall Northampton and Peterborough being strong objectors to the move to MK because of the increased competition for locals. Anyway as Jorvik has repeatedly said agents aren't allowed to own or invest in football clubs. Will get excited when the money comes in, especially given the Chinese situation, as well as other semi-false dawns with others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When did Alan Nixon become some seer of lower league football? OK he has some sources but most of the time he is just backing up what others have said before him. Has he ever broken the news about any new developments for Oldham, or any other lower league club for that matter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robboman Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I'm actually curious as to where people would think we'd be without corney and with just our crowds as financial income? im far from his biggest fan, but he's done a job in keeping us in this division. We could've easily have done a Stockport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OAFCKeepTheFaith Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 (edited) Didn't think agents were allowed to own football clubs, even in part. Wonder whether he's acting on behalf of somebody else as I see from his website that somebody from his agency oversaw the first Chinese takeover of a European club? Interesting times though and sounds like not to far off with Corney mentioning he'd like it done before end-August.

I think he said ideally done before August something tells me it might drag out abit longer whatever happens whether he wants full ownership part ownership with Corney or not at all it will come out in the wash.

He may offer some financial support (we don't really know do we) but has also overseen an annual drop in income since he has been here. Great bit of business management! Please stop putting him on a pedastal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikejh45 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 9 hours ago, Blue_Guru said: People rightly are sceptical, we have heard enough stories that have amounted to nothing under Corney to last a lifetime. I will believe it when I see it...for now it feels like another injection of optimism as fan morale has taken a serious dip. But how many times have you heard Corney talk about serious investment interest? Generally, the non-stories have emanated from fans who've seen someone sat with Corney in the stand who, jokingly, is the owner of the OAFC official Chinese takeaway partner who is now elevated to a serious Chinese investor on the evidence of "I saw Corney talking to a Chinese bloke in a suit so it must be true". Because this story has come from Corney himself there must be some legs otherwise he is opening himself to further ridicule and alienating an already dwindling group of hardcore fans.

rigsby Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Seriously, i dont give a hoot who owns us as long as they invest in the club. its something the club have been crying out for for years. We can all see the club is dying a slow lingering death before our eyes as it stands so i really dont see how anyne can raise questions about the potential owners? This could be the break all Latics fans have waited for a long long time. From my corner im praying it comes off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
