Marc Fernandez?

Maybe someone told him it was an away match!

Half Time 0 - 0. A fairly even half it would seem.

Still 0 - 0 by the way!

According to Wikipedia: Ranson's playing career ended due to injury in 1995. A year later he took a job working for Benfield Greig, the insurance company owned by Chelsea director Matthew Harding. Ranson invested heavily in the company, and sold his stake for several million pounds in 2002. He then started a venture funding football transfers on a sale and leaseback basis, including several deals with then Leeds United chairman Peter Ridsdale. In recent years, Ranson has taken an interest in taking over a football club. Ranson twice headed a consortium in unsuccessful attempt to purchase Aston Villa. The first bid £30 million in April 2004, and the second takeover attempt was valued at £45 million. In April 2007, he then bid an offer of what is thought to be £90million to buy former club Manchester City. However, on 30 May 2007, he pulled out of the proposed takeover bid of Manchester City after failing to come to an agreement with the then board. In October 2007, Ranson attempted to take over Southampton on behalf of hedge fund company SISU; however in December 2007 Ranson completed a deal to take over Coventry City, with just 30 minutes before the club was set to go into administration.

Link Our old friend John Battye was asked why he stood for the council again and his reply was: “Unfinished business.” His biggest regret is not being around in 2001 to finish the Sports Park 2000 project which would have given Oldham Athletic a new home on Clayton Playing Fields. He lays the blame squarely at the feet on the Liberal Democrats, who took charge of the council in 2000 when he lost his seat. “One more year, that is all that was needed,” he mused, adding: “The majority of the money was in place, the planning permission was in place and we had permission from the Charity Commission to develop Clayton and replace the football fields on the site of the old stadium." “Lots of untruths have been spoken and published about the project. There were three sets of plans: a 20,000-plus seater stadium with a roof at £27 million; a smaller stadium with a retractable roof at £20 million and a 16,000-seater standard stadium without cover." “That last was our preferred option. We had £11 million in the bank from the sale of Westwood running track to B&Q, we had a further £2 million promised for stadium naming rights which left a shortfall of £3 million which could easily have been sourced at competitive rates on a stadium that was all-but funded." “We had verbal promises from BSkyB to use the stadium as their northern hub for parking of their outside broadcast vehicles and as a northern studio." “Everything was in place — and we just needed another 12 months.” “Unfinished business.” He was the asked 'where are we then, with the stadium situation?' The article then says: The response spoke volumes — nothing of substance was said other than “We as a party, as a group, are prepared to make and take decisions..." A bit of a cryptic response! I wonder what he could mean?

Time for bed

Will renew over the weekend.

An undisclosed sell-on clause?

If he scores a couple of goals will it be a case of 'double diamond works wonders'? Am I showing my age!!

Excuse my ignorance but how do I know which version (ie: 800x600, etc.) to use on my laptop?

Could be a little rough . . .

Do you know where the ball should be?

WHY NOT?

He got his 2 year deal then. Should be a useful asset in League 2.

Very good news, as I thought Huddersfield were going to pip us to the post. This should silence the moaners . . . . . for a day!

I know there were add-ons to the deal with Bury, but did we pay £120k for him? Many percentage sell-on clauses are a percentage of the difference between the 2 transfer fees, not a percentage of the full sell-on fee. Just a thought!

If Oldham Council lent Latics £5m the on-line comment pages in The Chron would go into meltdown, and A&E at the Royal Oldham would be inundated with hyperventilating council tax payers!
