That’s what Salford do, they’ve chucked millions at it and haven’t got out of league 2 yet. I’d be very wary of someone coming in and prioritising throwing their money at the playing squad.

Positive noises coming from a few of those who’ve had some involvement so fingers crossed we’re going to see some better times at long last.

We can still have a go at promotion without going shit or bust. We also have to remember alot of the problems can be fixed quite quickly. Reopening the North Stand fully and recinding those ridiculous bans won't take long at all and probably see us make money quickly. We can get rid of Barry Owen very quickly. That can all be done before August. I imagine a number of the sponsors who pulled out during the Lemsagam regime will be happy to get back involved now these people are out the door. A post Lemsagam dividend if you like. We won't have Mo Lemsagam dicking about the training ground or the dressing room interfering that will create better squad cohesion and stability. With the fans players manager board and owner on the same page that will go a long way to making us better on the pitch. While getting out of this division will not be easy. Even if this owner is everything we want them to be it might take a few years. But still it won't take that much for us to be competitive on the field. A top 7 finish shouldn't be seen as out of our reach this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

latics22 Posted July 2, 2022 Author Share Posted July 2, 2022 I still say top seven has to be target no matter what. Even if there are some good teams there must be some a lot worse than league 2. Ok don’t spend a fortune, but bring in a few more of hogans pedigree. That’s hardly splashing th cash, just spending a bit more in key areas.

Brisbaneblue Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 The parachute money lasts 2 seasons, so it is vital from a financial perspective that we get out of the NL during the this time otherwise we face a significant drop in income, the new owner will be fully aware of the consequences and I cannot see anything other than a good crack at promotion with top 7 a realistic expectation this season, personally the comments about Salford are interesting, they don’t allow any continuity and for clubs to be successful you need stability, other than Chelsea and Watford who somehow bucked this trend by changing managers regularly and still achieving their goals, it never happens just look through the football pyramid and look at the clubs who achieve even a modest amount of success they have stability, hopefully once these charlatans and their numpty apostles leave the club we can get stability and get some foundations to build a better and brighter future for Oldham Athletic.

yarddog73 Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 We'll find it hard to compete with Wrexham, I'm on holiday and in a hotel that Paul Mullins family are staying in and they are quite open about what he's pulling in there and they say he is the top earner in non league on a basic £4000 a week but it is heavily made up of bonuses which sees him pull in on average about £6000, that's just stupid money and like Salford they must be being subsidised to the tune of a couple of million a season.
