One off games like these, you’ll always get a turn out. Not sure a dormant fan base exists that’ll fill the ground every week, though (unless we reach the Premier League, maybe..).

They'd be buying 3,000 crowd football club that they could quickly turn into a 4,5,6000 crowd club if they know what they're doing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off field income is vital and they would definitely need to buy the lot. These are football people who may stick with it longer than some random business man, and would have much more trust from the fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldham82 Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 We all wanted corney to sell which he did and AL brought us. But it has been disasterouus from every angle. Oldham been riddled with bad luck for 20 plus years . I so hope a new owner or corsortium can be sorted asap. The Dutch link could be just what we need and fingers crossed they have been in touch and the ball can start rolling and our luck and change of fortune turns full circle. We deserve it.

He could easily have dodged it, why appoint new staff etc. Just doesn't add up to me. He does and he’s playing two faces - 1. A passionate Chairman who’s openly admitting he’s made mistakes but he’s here long-term, who’s saving the club financially and whose driven to secure Championship football for Oldham Athletic 2. A battered individual whose quick at any opportunity to escape to Dubai to avoid the spotlight. His dream of owning a football club is in ruins; having been fucked over in extra millions by those he trusted to conduct due diligence. Haemorrhaging tens of thousands each week as legacy of his older siblings Director of Football / super scout attempts resulting in absolute disaster, no return on investment, mass tribunals etc etc. Which face do you believe? I do feel sorry for the bloke because our club has sucked him in and spat him out almost destitute. Then again, it’s those closest to him that have failed him and not our club, the fans etc. He assumed the fans would bow down to him but loyalty is short-lived in football and only on results, league positions, wins and goals. None of which have materialised so we’re hungry for the next tenant as Chairman/owner to succeed where Lemsagam has failed. Problem is, he wants to sell .... he’s desperate to sell ... but he’s asking too much especially with little or no asset value to bargain with. Clearing debts is one thing but our league position, squad value and short to medium term prospects add up to absolute minimal value. Valuations are poles apart......

He's tried to play the victim with the due diligence thing, while in reality he's just tried to do things on the cheap (or when not on the cheap, using very strange financial algorithms), while treating everyone like shit, which has destroyed the reputation and the functionality of the club as a whole.
