Matt Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 On 9/6/2021 at 4:25 PM, Frankly Mr Shankly said: “looked like security”? In what way? It’s quite the tenuous generalisation, that. Like I said, Taurus really could do with some kind of statement to distance themselves from the whirlwind of blind accusations that’s rolling around there. I don’t have any reason to dispute what my contact told me, I’ve known him a long time. It looks very much like people are diving into conclusions based on three thugs that “looked like security”, despite them looking like an angry Right Said Fred tribute act. Yeah, couldn't they be just a couple of Barrow lads looking for some easy pickings? I mean, nobody in their right mind would walk about looking like that this side of Preston.

I can tell you from living in Cumbria for 12 years, if you look at their hands, and then count the digits, if its more than 5 they're from Barra or even Burnley.

Hi all Latics fans. Im X - I recently held preliminary discussions about buying the club. Last week I texted a source at the club to get a price from the owner. He talked to the owner and I was given a figure. This price vastly over values the badge and so I counter offered for a quarter of what he asked. He turned it down, and until he lowers this figure I won’t be taking discussion further. Even If by some miracle someone was naive enough to put that or similar into public domain- what does that get us? What does it achieve? Nothing. Never has or will happen. Newcastle, West Ham, Derby in recent times off the top of my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlossopLatic Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 5 hours ago, Lee Sinnott2 said: This frustrates me. I know for a fact there are people interested in buying the club. They could make life much more uncomfortable for the Lemsagam bros by coming out and publicly declaring an interest in buying the club, but they just sit remaining silent... This is something I discussed with Matt and Andy on the podcast this week. If any group still have aspirations of taking over then keeping a low profile might be best rather than bringing it out in the open. It will antagonise the Lemsagams if anything. So while I would quite happily use it as evidence to point to a few fans who appear to suffer from Stockholm syndrome that yes their are people out there that want to buy us then they have more to lose than to gain by coming out in public on the issue, they may also be looking at other club's.

Pidge Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 What I would like to see is a ticket counter in a “catering van” outside Boundary Park, selling donation tickets. The boycotting home fans could quew up to give PTB “or whoever is running it” £18 instead of going in the ground. It would be such a slap in the face for AL and Mo. It is only my fantasy idea before everyone points out why it won’t work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worcester Owl Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 6 hours ago, Ackey said: TTA were actively trying to sell the club (not the stand or land) for years and then some. There's scant evidence anyone wanted us. History is great... but for 20+ years we've not been making any. We are a long, long way from the days of "favourite other team" and the like. I met a guy on a course last week who was mid-20s and had basically no idea who Oldham were. He was a United fan (obviously- the course was in south London) and plenty knowledgeable about the PL and such. Just didn't have a clue about Latics. Those days are just so far gone. Potential is one thing, application is another. No sensible businessperson is buying a club like Latics on potential. We've had that potential for the same 20+ years and haemorrhaged fans. We can certainly stop the rot and balance things, we can be a solid L1 team maybe. But the money doesn't start there, and the chance of Latics making the Championship are miniscule when it comes to someone looking to take a calculated risk and make money. You are too negative on the question of potential buyers. To take just one example, who would have imagined that a couple of guys from Hollywood would buy Wrexham? As for the Championship, that's a pipe dream for now but let's get the club stabilised and looking/planning forward first. One step at a time.

Have the JR stand all to themselves and rebuild the Clayton Arms in there. They'd be quids in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al_bro Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 If a potential buyer thought there was a real chance the club would go into admin. Surely they would wait and pick the club up for nothing except the debt, unless there was a real danger of us becoming a NL club. That would become clearer later in the season. But it's not going well so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
