It’s like asking someone who’s tried to buy a limited edition Lamborghini if they fancy your 15 year old Ford Focus instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzlatic Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Oldham Athletic is not “on brand” for Ineos. They’re a stakeholder in Mercedes F1 and main sponsor of the former Sky cycling team for example. You can’t own more than one club in England so I assume if he wants to get into football club ownership here then he’ll presumably wait for similar opportunities to Chelsea. However, once OASF have their proposition formalised I don’t see why they couldn’t approach Radcliffe’s representatives to ask for a chunky donation to the cause as a local boy. That might be a bit more realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't actually appear to have any value in them unless someone buys it off you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
