unsworth blue Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 1 hour ago, Barryowen said: Angela Rayner , with respect, will get nowhere with Abdallah. He will totally ignore her. It seems that way Barry, bit like his stance on the petition signed by near on 3000 fans. It's no wonder people are thinking that Abdallah doesn't care about us supporters or the town and he continues to treat all with disdain or contempt. Just wondering what you are referring to about "Eventually our future will become more clear, for good or for bad", is this when you feel any "news on the stand ownership" will emerge. I am not sure time is something we have a lot of in terms of rebuilding the club, playing resources look preciously weak at present and if the team keeps losing (or at least not winning), how long will ALMo or owners put up with Curle given their track record to date? I do hope Abdallah does come to his senses and expresses a willingness to sell his share of the business (badge and players) and cut his losses but I have my doubts it will be anytime soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about repayments, but the club had to put a 3 year business plan to the EFL to get the loan. One of the consequences is that we are under embargo for the same period of time. The club didn't understand the consequences of signing players, so how can we expect them to understand that we are stuck in this embargo for such a long time. Whether an early repayment of the loan is possible or not I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barryowen Posted August 23, 2021 Author Share Posted August 23, 2021 Chaddy. You are spot on my friend. I have never known an MP get involved with a local business such as Oldham Athletic , at this.stage of proceedings You always see them hovering when it suits them. I noticed this with Burnham and Lia Nandy when Wigan was bust. Rightly or wrongly depending on the moral compass he is likely to tell her to do one and not to get involved. Sorry but that is the truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisRichard Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 10 hours ago, Dave_Og said: Why would the EFL be concerned about that ? 'Somebody else' is a director of the club - there are plenty of owners who aren't hands on in the running of their clus. For all the EFL's faults it certainly isn't their job to tell individual member clubs how to manage their affairs. If one of the two failed the fair and proper test, how is that person allowed to run the club on a day to day basis if the other has lost interest? Surely that is in the EFL's interest?
