GlossopLatic Posted September 9, 2021 Author Share Posted September 9, 2021 Let's face it he's failing at every aspect of being a football club owner. The results do matter but so does everything else its a perfect storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BP1960 Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 I see the Saudi's £350 million bid for Newcastle has failed. I wonder if anyone can mention to them they can buy a former Premiership club for a fraction of that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably didn't help but he basically said he is failing at ownership, has been failing for the 3 years he has been here, I think he even called him a fool at one point and said he should be looking to sell the club...

He's just saying whatever will get the most people phoning in in the next hour. That's his job. If blaming the fans works better tomorrow, then that's what he'll say tomorrow.

I know the show can be a bit of a wind up but not too sure here, talking about oldham is not going to make 50k more tune in, they might aswell discuss Ronaldos debut on saturday if they want bigger stats. Not saying you are wrong tho, I'm just not on the same page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its always going to be an option, not sure if fans of either club would want it. I live in West Cumbria, fans of Workington, Whitehaven and Barra RL clubs have had this mentioned many times, its never happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think football is too tribal for it ever be a success, very few Wimbledon fans went to MK. For me, I support Oldham Athletic, if we ever ceased to be (looking likely as it stands) then I wouldn't support anyone and certainly not some strange mutated hybrid mess with Manchester in the title I'd probably go an watch Darwen to keep my shite football fix going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no chance that I'd do 400+ mile round trips to watch that or even a phoenix.

Would an Oldham Tameside club work out if say the whole set up was moved to Curzon where there's great training facilities and scope for ground development ? After all Oldham rugby often play at Stalybridge? Wouldn't suit me personally as I live a stones throw from BP, but some may think it acceptable..https://images.app.goo.gl/8orcbonrbPAJMPcA6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the vast bulk of supporters for Latics, Dale and whoever else it amalgamated would outright reject such an entity. It'd largely rely on attracting families who otherwise would've supported one of the big sides or not taken an interest in the sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
