latics22 Posted June 30, 2022 Author Share Posted June 30, 2022 Even the clergy man didn’t know. Strange we have been still signing players. Must have some cash to buy both, but would like some bigger names arrive . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuddsNathan Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Any rumours on who the local business is? I can't believe how quiet this has been kept for it to be only 4 weeks away from completion!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latics22 Posted June 30, 2022 Author Share Posted June 30, 2022 Doesn’t this technically put us in embargo? U can’t sign players, whilst in a takeover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be utter bollocks, but whoever it is I am not bothered about huge investment. Just a sensible, stable set up with all assets under one roof. At least there is light at the end of the tunnel.

They are purchasing Brassbank Ltd so I'm presuming that includes the North Stand. First think they need to do is remove Owen and rescind all those petty bans he vindictively issued. Odds on fans sat in the North Stand for the 1st game of the season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzlatic Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 I'm really hoping this is fantastic news. Surprised it's come out of nowhere. Hopefully OASF have been involved so we'll have an indication of motives etc. Hopefully Barry shown the door. Mike Keegan promising this is great news though and I'm willing to believe him. Royles have had involvement apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluehobbit Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Oh wow.. Please god let it be true. Oldham Athletic back at BP with everything owned by the club with some sensible people who can run a football club as a sports business. Fingers crossed. Who's having a season ticket?
