Senor_Coconut Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Just listening to Mike Keegan on the Chrons podcast, he said he put in a number of freedom of information requests to Oldham council about the North Stand and the numbers in the FOI don't match what was being said in the fans forum.

Where's this £3m come from? If he paid that for the Oldham Athletic name, plus loads of debt and no assets, then he is even more dumb than can be imagined.

Did he say when he was going to publish said discrepancies or do we still have to wait for the Brassbank Special? Would be interesting to know the facts without us all having to raise FOI requests.

Yes. Listened now. He seems to be implying that all is not well with the history and finances of the stand. So perhaps the club have a point here?

Theoutsider Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Really enjoyed the podcast. Mike Keegan was eloquent and interesting to hear speak. He clearly cares, is a genuine fan, but the fact he fears for the future of the club is another alarm bell ringing. Aware he has his critics and don’t understand what’s gone on before, can only take as I find. Every Oldham fan should listen to it - especially the Realistic Facebook group!

My only issue was with the timing, that being in the days before the crucial Northampton game, it must have caused further unrest in the camp. i understand the timing was possibly the only time he’d have got his editor to run a story on Oldham Athletic in a national newspaper though.

Senor_Coconut Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 A lot took the clubs side when Mike wrote in 2017 that the club was trying to use Paul Scholes to help sell the club to those Chinese businessmen that were knocking around flagging Corney the advertising boards https://www.oldhamathletic.co.uk/news/2017/january/club-statement-/ there was also this article which got plenty of peoples backs up https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-5808305/The-story-Oldham-Athletics-financial-troubles-mystifying-transfers-unpaid-wages.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True Tic Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 The most relevant comments from Mike Keegan on the clubs immediate future which struck a cord with me, and it could definitely happen, is another relegation. With this squad, and benefit of hindsight with the way things have been done over the last few seasons, lessons not learned, nepotism for certain players etc, sometimes bizarre squad selections, manager turnover we are staring the exit door from this league in the face. That's the best outcome (realistic) I can hope for this season. Another manager sacking, and no real movement in January player wise and we are gone.
