Paddy when you making your usual deadline day trip down to BP?

 

I suggest he sticks a beret on his head and a string of onions round his neck and pretends he's an interpreter.

I was hoodwinked with one fake twitter account but I can't believe that nothing has been communicated from the club yet following Abdullah's snapchat photo (from his legit account) first thing this morning.

 

Nothing surprises though.  Perhaps there's silence as Corney is no longer in control?!

 

Honestly the internet these days makes people so impatient. Up until a few weeks ago, everybody was completely fucking happy with the "Top 10 squad" we had, and Corney had stuck his hand in his pocket. A mention of a potential takeover, and a few more players and everyone loses the plot. What if theres nothing to report? What if they are sat in a meeting discussing takeover terms/contract negotiations, instead of writing snippets of stories for you?

I'm patient.  

 

However if I'd mentioned to the media that I was in talks with a person who was looking to invest in/takeover the club (kept this vague thus prompting further speculation) and that said person sent a photo of them in my company premises then I'd most likely issue an update.  Especially if my clients and shareholders (Trust) were in the dark, speculating as a result and I was legally obliged to update the shareholders.

That won't happen though, I wish he'd just fuck off and give it up as a bad job instead of pretending he actually gives a shit about anything other than his own interest.

He needs the club for his US visa. 

 

Another piece of hearsay still. Why do people want Corney to leave? He clearly has best interest of club unlike the other 2 who left him in the shit, with zero money. He gets an investor in, why does he have to get out?

We arent a FTSE 100 company! Your confusing clients with fans there. And you're also expecting OAFC to suddenly start running like a normal business when it cant even spell things correctly when it does issue official statements.

 

If the guys here to buy all of or some of Corneys stake in the club only (not stadium), does he have to tell the Trust until hes agreed a deal?

Corney definitely polarises fans.  

 

I've met him a few times and he's always come over as genuine and someone who wants the club to succeed but the depth of his pockets don't mirror his or our aspirations for the club.

 

I don't understand the bitterness against him.  Unless someone can evidence to contrary, he's not symphoned millions from the club.  He's ploughed his own cash into the club but that's limited so tried to wheel and deal to compensate.  Admittedly some of his decisions have tainted the club - Hughes and Evans - but morals aside both were made to better the playing side.

 

He's openly tried to sell the club but been hindered by the asking price set my his more affluent mates who own the land and stadium.  Those same mates walked away cutting off any further investment leaving Corney to try and bridge that financial gap.

 

Hopefully this latest roll of the dice pays off for Corney.  If he remains at the helm on behalf of whoever is funding us then fair play to him.

 

My issue, and always has been, are those around Corney employed by or reoresenting the club who have demonstrated incompetence or naivety whilst Corney has been back in the States.  Corney being the owner has alway been the easy target.

Jesus. Can you tell me who owns the new stand, the money from OEC (non match day) and the rest of the ground / land. Clue is it ain't OAFC. All three of TTA's have had plenty out, Corney is waiting for his final pay day. To think otherwise is just dense.

Can you set out the cash flow please? I'm interested to see where he's stashed all the money he's making...

It's not hearsay. Latics is his only business interest that can get him his US visa. They won't grant him one if he doesn't have the club anymore. He's overseen the decline of the club, that's why people want him to go.
