There is no such thing as a free lunch, ask yourself, why would they come in, spend millions, lose a couple more million??? Sure there is an angle... The difference between the other 3 clubs? I don't know but I do know that Griffin Park was sold for development, in London...you only need to watch location on C4 to know the land value, the new stadium is surrounded by development, I am guessing the owners of these developments also own the ground? from the outside looking in at Bournemouth, they had a good many years of stability and went about their business under the radar then popped up in the Prem for a couple of years. As for Luton, my most hated club I have no interest in knowing their business. As I said in my original post, people must be deluded if they think a white knight is coming over the hill to buy this club. Darren Royle and his father want the club to be safe and in a better position, the investors who want to bring will obviously have an angle, its business.

If we play the Darren Joe Royle route, the club would be available for very very little compared to the current situation where AL wants a fee of millions. We'd be more attractive than still have the same debts but AL wanting whatever millions he feels he's owed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

League one forever Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Have I missed something - is the stench of BO trying to buy the club?? I can honestly say, if that happens it will kill off any lingering hope or interest I have in the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warrington Blue Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 And throughout all of the above speculation, the clubs owner doesn't even have the decency or guts to address the fans. No information about what happens if the club sinks out of the league, which I believe we will, no words of support to the fans. He just treats us all with contempt, and doesn't even get someone else to speak to the fans. He is holding the fans in total disregard and that boils my blood. Why can't he make a statement, ie, if we go out of the League, we will stay full time to have a crack at going straight up. Any season ticket sales will be used only for squad improvement. But no, just silence, says it all about these two pretenders. Very sad times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Burns Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Barry Owen is a sneaky, self centred, game playing cunt who would willingly burn to the ground and any good intentioned soul that drifts near him. Remember saying sumat similar about a year ago provoking great emotion and an empty threat from fanboy PeteG. This situation is extremely worrying and needs an urgent militant response, or we deserve all we get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really are letting us know exactly who they are with this stuff. Revelling in an Oldham defeat presumably because of the fall out with Karl Evans and because Barrow were using their services. Same goes for getting fans banned, or press passes revoked, or driving a wedge between AL and OASF/PTB. It's all about their own self-interest. They act in whatever way is necessary to boost their own positions. Any criticism and they block and ban. Not welcome by the majority of fans, Barry "where's your mandate" Owen still seems to be forcing his trotters even further under the table. The club is doomed with their continuing involvement.
