philwhite Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Was a bit worried when I saw the meeting with a prospective buyer was conducted in the Cob and Coal on Oldham market Surely not the kind of place to discuss multi million dollar plans. Agree with previous posts that it doesn’t sound that promising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was sceptical, listened to it, changed my opinion and jumped aboard the Chris Lees express.... but the stuff coming out since I've listened to it (Twitter account, beliefs etc.) are putting me right off.

He’s sort of the abomination you’d get if you put the DNA’s of Gary Glitter, Alan Partridge, Tommy Saxondale and the bald twat from Right Said Fred in a blender and produced some kind of Frankenstein’s monster out of it. in short, I’d not let him within a hundred yards of my teenage daughter. Potential to out basket case the Lemsagems. Defo a Castrol GTX logo on the back of his leather bomber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't condone Ched Evans and do not want to prolong the discussion around him, but let's not forget he was found not guilty after a retrial and compensated for his imprisonment. Therefore, under the "legal system" he is innocent and not a rapist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read the original post as the rape conviction was more important than his ability to score goals and he was rightly binned. Some have interpreted it differently.

It doesn't, not in the slightest and I get your point. It's more the media circus it could potentially attract. Sick of the Oldham athletic shit show!

League one forever Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 I don’t get the concern. Yes, he may be eccentric or say cringy things occasionally- but we’re not after a best friend. We want a competent business owner, and everything he has said about that side of things is credible and rational. If he does everything AL hasn’t and runs a steady ship, he can come across as uncle nobhead for all I care. Actions speak louder than words.

Actions speak louder than words. not saying he isn't but what convinces you he's a competent business owner? Don't say making millions out of bitcoin. That doesn't mean he's a competent business owner he could well have got lucky in that respect or just followed someone else in. There is no evidence as far as I can see he's run successful businesses but as i said that doesn't mean he hasn't. I'm just not convinced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fine- but if that’s the case he’ll get found out quite quickly, and wont get near the club. We can be full of hope or full of scepticism, but it doesn’t affect anything. He’ll either back up what he says or he won’t, and the reading into his personality is just daft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
