Has whoever is looking to purchase 85% of the football club approached OASF at all? The fans have been treated extremely poorly by the current owners and board, so I would have thought a discussion of some sort would be key to any new major shareholder looking to repair that relationship and see how club and fan groups could work better together.

I don't even know that 85% bit is correct, I was using it as an example of AL retaining a minority share. No idea if they have approached OASF i'm sure they would have said if they could have? I'm also led to believe there is more than 1 group with a possibility of 3 groups involved but not necessarily together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite the shift from a few days ago when you said there weren't any credible bidders. Well hopefully any interested party understands that getting the fans on board is pretty important.

Interesting article about him in the MEN from 6 years ago ran the 165 year old family business a d has been involved in the textile industry his parents retired when they were 94 and 96 respectively so I reckon he would probably wouldn't be the type who would slow down just because he's in his 80's. Said at the time he was done with Football but that was 6 years ago so it's possible he changed his mind. Barry Chaytow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
