kowenicki Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 “SunSport understand that all interested parties are waiting on the dispute over the ground to be settled first.” ah well… then they need to agree a fair price for it with Blitz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deyres42 Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Not trolling, interest in the club is welcome but difficult to see how anyone who is quibbling over these relatively small amounts of money is going to have the clout to move the club forward.

So you want people to come in who will just throw money away, we ain't getting an Arabian state or other country led consortium buying us who may do that, we have got real football people, with contacts, with knowledge of our club and the area interested in taking us on. Of course the financials have to be right. I cant believe what I read on here at times, not just from you btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swindon just went for £2m which is probably our club’s true worth. The current asking price for the job lot is around £10m!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzlatic Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Presumably the dispute over the ground is referring to the court case? Thanks Barry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually thought you were referring to people recently involved at Burnley who recently sold out. 13 minutes ago, Lee Sinnott said: I'm pretty sure Barry will have a consortium of his own lined up as well... Oh no. Does this consortium realise that keeping him about will be very costly to them. Why can't Barry take a hint. I'd rather have Barry from eastenders singing.

Who is going to do that, most people in business with the financials to be part of consortiums wont just throw their hard earned money away because we want them to hurry up. As much as we all want a quick takeover and AL and all his cronies gone this will only happen if the deal is right. If we have a buyer who will just throw money away now just to save time rather than waiting for the right deal then surely that would be quite alarming too.

I dont know Barry owen but my brother does, if he is an Oldham fan first then why would he be willing to make things difficult for said parties to attempt a take over, surely he would have been a huge fan of one of the Royles at some part of his time supporting us as a fan.

As regards further investment it ain’t an overnight fix and it’s going to take several years of competent ownership for this club to be able to move forward!!

I dont get this man. Exactly. What reason would he have for trying to line Abdallah’s pockets? It’s also notable how he revels in Abdallah not speaking to the fans, in particularly in reference to any OASF or PTB involvement in trying to introduce new investors/owners. He’s been openly giddy about Abdallah refusing to engage them. He’s supposedly a fan of the club with access to the ear of the owner. And what is he doing with that access? Widening the divide between the owner and the fan groups and… well, I wouldn’t like to guess his reasons for trying to put the ground in Abdallah’s hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely it’s precisely the reason that the club needs millions investing in infrastructure that any prospective new owners shouldn’t waste any of their funds overpaying AL or Blitz.
