Hard to get excited without the full story and ALMO still in situ. I don’t see it as the end game, just another shitshow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
disjointed 2,259 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 A lack of information is worrying, whilst Shitpeas going is a good thing, did anyone think his departure would be along with his sponsor company. Something doesn't smell right. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GlossopLatic 2,640 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Still not sure how I feel about this. In one sense I'm glad BO has gone but this certainly doesn't feel like a new beginning at all. It might be the beginning of the end of the Lemsagams reign at OAFC and for that we should feel optimistic but if it is I can't imagine the ending is going to be a smooth transition. I said at the back end of last week that the noises coming out of the club that we were not looking beyond the end of the season and we were in for an interesting summer. It does feel a little bit like 2003 again this and we could be in for a rough ride. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

League one forever 1,298 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Al has already shown he’s willing to fund the club without the north stand. Plus, we’ve handed out a few contracts in the last couple of weeks, all while sponsors are pulling out. I don’t think he’s going anywhere personally. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

super_blue 266 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 (edited) I’m not convinced this changes much from AL’s point of view. He is of course alienating himself further from the community and fans but he seems to be a very stubborn fella who is willing to dig his heals in. Hope I’m wrong of course...

latics22 439 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 I think when he does go he will try and screw things up as much as he can. If sponsors are speaking up etc, can only imagine what could be going on behind closed doors. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cmr 162 Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 BO has gone and taken his 2 sponsorships with him. Identity FS have withdraw sponsorship. The two could be completely unrelated but the rumour mill is spinning this into the sky is falling. Barry is gone which is a good thing. Losing Identity financial services as a sponsor isn’t but not surprising given the current economic climate Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Losing Identity financial services as a sponsor isn’t but not surprising given the current economic climate His two sponsorships? i think we've lost: Identity FS who said on the podcast that it was because of the way the club was being run meaning they didn't want their brand to be associated with it OVS who are threatening legal action over 'abhorrent allegations' Hotels4u of which Owen was a director Could be wrong Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Could be as little as a falling out or them getting rid of him and he’s trying to save face (and money) We all know the club is a shit show Quote Link to post Share on other sites
