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. I don't think he is putting much money in. Corney always said that the income generated by the club would only sustain a L2 side. Income generated by the JR stand would change that. KE is possibly following instructions which has caused sponsors to walk away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfatjoe1 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Just in.... Bray Wanderers FC @BrayWanderers We wish to confirm that we will not be taking part in any European Super League. I think AL should also send a clear message to the clubs trying to create a new European League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. *You're Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel free to ignore Like a lot of clubs. You are stating the bleeding obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteG Posted April 21, 2021 Author Share Posted April 21, 2021 Away from the worries of the future and the possibility of administration which I feel is a real threat as my last post indicated, what does the immediate future have in store. A number of clubs in the EFL, certainly at Division 2 level have needed financial assistance from the governing body. Many fans may not be aware that such monies are loans and have to be repaid. Until that occurs the clubs concerned are under embargo and can only sign free agents. During the recruitment process during the summer the club needs to come clean on its financial position and who they can sign. Perhaps this should have been reported to fans before season tickets were put on sale. Before I am reminded that clubs are in debt due to Covid, the real truth in that the pandemic has been kind to clubs in a financial sense. Clubs received financial assistance from the furlough scheme, the Premier League and the EFL . I would think that it was this input that kept the club afloat until recently when no doubt it has had to borrow money. Come on Abdallah come clean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not loans from the government they are loans from the efl which are in addition to the money the club got as part of the bailout that all clubs got. Has KE really said the club hasn't taken the loans from the efl?? Interesting but not surprising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
