Not much of note in today's chron.

Although they seem to think the Bynre deal should still happen and he could be in for tomorrow night.

Just a couple of quotes from Shez hinting at his frustration.

"Other people can talk about other things and how they may feel. I am just trying to worry about my team and I have to make sure they battle and work hard for me. "

" Things need to improve in a lot of areas, but I'm only worried about the football pitch "

We supporters are nothing more than an irritation, tolerated so long as enough go sit in that shit new unfinished stand and pay more monies over before and after the matches. The facilities are piss poor, access is terrible and the viewing position much too low. But it probably doubles the take from the low number of stalwarts who are still attending. Pay up and shut up.   And be eternally grateful.

 

I'm off to the local derby Droyldsen v Mossley,  an old ground, but with an excellent clubhouse and catering, the extra treat will be some good football played on the pitch.

I've seen it mentioned that this investor is at training all the time. I've watched them train quite a bit over the past few weeks and never seen him there...

You see on here, and on Twitter (don't look at FB much) that so many people make stuff up or just guess or say "I reckon....". You can see why Trump was elected, some people are desperate to believe anything.

.

Thank you for a bit of fact, much appreciated.

Bored of all the rumours now.  I'll wait until end of Thursday to see how the remaining transfer window unfolds.  

 

My only comments -

 

1. Only two people really know what's happening reference the investment/takeover - Corney and Abdallah

 

2. Whilst some triallists could be bad, you could also unearth some gems

 

...then again, I've always been a glass half full person

What gets me about all this shite, some two bit agent meeting Corney's fit for purpose opinion is that we've had real interest before from none circus circles to which Corney didn't give the time of day. I know he reads this board so if I am wrong about that he should take me up on it.

 

It's clear he can't take this club forward so by his own standard for a take over he knows to go. I've nothing against the bloke personally at all, it's purely he's dragging the club down and needs to hand the reins over very very soon.

Doesnt sound good for Corney...or us for that matter. Deposit cheque must have bounced. 

 

He hasn't stated OAFC.  On that thread you've got other fans suggested their own clubs.  

 

Tinges of Shirley Ghostman "insight" - would be well in with some of the "in the know" on here including that JP bloke who claimed we were conducted recruitment upstairs in an estate agents

.... forgetting that fans are 'boycotting' the whateveritscalledthisyear trophy, it'll make for an interesting night on Tuesday at ISZ all the same!

 

in fact that's a point, I wonder if laddo will change the name back to Boundary Park, tell Ashley to do one ... kick the great unwashed out of the Chaddy End and re open the Latique? lol

Don't forget the Clayton Arms.
