PeteG Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 ADMINISTRATION- COULD IT BE NEARER THAN WE Think?? Put aside the massive problems the club are having at the moment are we in more serious trouble than we think. Has the CEO started where he left off at Bury? Great to have a cheap season ticket but is the scheme sustainable. At the prices they are ,you have to sell a lot to touch 2 years ago and I don't think that this seasons pandemic sales have been equalled in numbers. On top of that we lose sponsorship money with little hope of getting any when the behaviour of the club is a key issue, certainly when money is tight. We have had bailouts from the efl this season on 3 occasions, surely they will stop when fans are allowed back and I'm led to believe some of that is a loan that is repayable. Glad to survive in Division 2 whatever our position but will we get through to next season when it is rumoured that the owner does not want to put any more cash in.

These are real concerns not personality issues. I am genuinely concerned for our club. Abdallah has not been seen since September. Mo has upped sticks and gone home and we are left with someone in charge whose last job was at Bury that went under. Rather than personalise it Paddy concentrate on the facts. 1. Season ticket revenue will be way down and like it or not many loyal Oldham fans would pay the going rate come what may. 2. Sponsorship money already lost. Let's hope the CEO manages to get some firms over the line. From what I am told about the way he handled the lost ones, there ain't much hope for anything major. I hope I am proved wrong. 3. More finance will need to be borrowed to remain intact as a club and the owner has no asset value in the club. Will Abdallah put money in.?Doesn't seem he is that keen on the club given his lack of presence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whose gonna pay his rent? How will he recover his outlay on the North stand? We go bust - he loses millions, and one thing he doesn’t do is lose money. So admin would be welcome because ALMO would be gone and new investment will be found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzlatic Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Interesting how low season ticket revenue is being blamed on the guy who came up with a pricing structure that would surely see a ticket sale increase at any other club. And not on any of the factors that saw sales drop off massively pre-Karl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc1955 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 He came with a remit to improve club/supporter engagement and as far as I’m concerned has failed miserably. The North Stand corporate is potentially a massive source of revenue for the club and was a big part of his plans yet it is still closed to supporters. The season ticket offer should have been a brilliant initiative but without a plan going forward or a message of intent from the owners it is doomed to failure. Admittedly it’s a shit show and has been since the takeover but Karl has to take on some of the blame for a lack of any progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He certainly imploded spectacularly with his Twitter efforts to improve relations (but that was our fault for not giving him or his badges enough likes of course) speaking of which - when do we find out the kit and badge for next season?

It's staring us in the face We have an Owner that is having to regularly chuck £money in to pay a bang average squad of players (17th in the bottom tier of English Football doesn't lie) Our only real playing asset is Bahamboula who is highly likely to be sold on for 'an undisclosed fee' at the end of the season Our recruitment in recent years has been primarily by trawling through the lower leagues of French football and more recently English Non League football If our Owner had the finances to positively improve his current standing with our fanbase he would simply dig deep into his pocket and fund half a dozen very decent players Instead, the Club continues to pump out football not fit for purpose, whilst blundering through PR disaster after disaster, Sponsors walking away being the latest Administration and/or Relegation is a certainty under this current regime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly the owner has been willing or able to find minimal finance to sustain the club, dont know for how long. The rewards in running a struggling 4th division football club sailing close to the edge are limited, so why do it? I would understand sentimental folly from a lifelong Latics supporter & owner in this situation, as their heart would be in the right place, if not a viable budget. Just seems to be a horrible impasse here, mistaken investment, unable to cash out, not willing or able to fund an alternative strategy ..... much said and done behind the scenes to make the whole thing toxic. It is possible for this paralysis to rumble on, not least as we continue to see at least two other clubs make a much more determined effort to be relegated. The story at Grimsby is remarkable.
