oafc0000 Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Banging on about it on here is about all that's left to us. After being sold the ideal of transparency only to be let down by the trust / fan on the board role you are right really... I think a lot of people should really put CJ on ignore if you are sick of reading his opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edhunteruk Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Does anybody know for sure what happened at Ferney? As for trying, it's a pity that more effort wasn't put in from February 2007, when promotion was there for the taking. Abysmal, knee-jerk managerial appointments and various examples of harebrained gimmickry haven't exactly helped either, although it could admittedly all be classified as trying. the tta went to visit the farmer and see the land for themself and came up with an idea,asked the farmer what he wanted for the land and waited. the farmer was/is a big rugby fan,and having had time to consider his options and the fact the club were pissing the rugby club about decided he could maybe get a better deal elswhere so upped his price for the land,then ignored repeated phone calls from the club. the club sent someone down to see him and said look,if your not going to accept our initial offer for the land we have no option but to consider other sites,we need a definate answer by such a date if we dont hear from you by then the deal is off.... the farmer is broke these days and is willing to listen to any offers i believe,hence rumour of a prison being built there,i do believe he is now pinning his hopes on the housing market picking up and a subsequent developer making him an offer he wouldnt refuse. the club wont go back to him because he keeps pissing them about changing his mind.hence why most weeks he cries into his beer in various pubs around chadderton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankly Mr Shankly Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 You love me really. All the Nodders do. Haha! I don't have you on ignore because some of the stuff you come out with, and your put downs are pretty good, so I like reading those. The only thing that grates that I find crushingly tiresome is the fact that quite correctly we have been left behind. But you feel you have to mention it repeatedly in every other thread. I love the Oldham Insider better though corp. He only mentions it once, but gets it across perfectly. x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankly Mr Shankly Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 (edited) I think a lot of people should really put CJ on ignore if you are sick of reading his opinion. I do normally, but not by "sticking him on ignore". I just normally avoid threads that have suddenly jumped to 6 pages in an afternoon.

Diego_Sideburns Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Banging on about it on here is about all that's left to us. There's the option of pointing out formally to TTA where their perceived lack of ambition is leading the Club and its little band of meerkats/lemmings/happy clappers/nodders, and asking for changes to their draft proposals to avoid that course of action.

Obviously, they will make all the necessary adjustments to reverse the downscaling of the club just because I suggest they should. For a man who's just retired, you seem to have more credulity than a school leaver. Edited January 15, 2010 by Corporal_Jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corporal_Jones Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Pot calling kettle. Not at all. I don't tell stories as if they're fact but make predictions based on what I see. There's a big difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just think Corp, if you took up TTA's invitation and came back here with a 'get stuffed' reply from TTA, you would be glad you'd made the effort to prove your point even to any doubters you may have. Once again you cannot resist making a personal point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueJazzer Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 So we are just supposed to consider anything that anybody posts as lies or heresay until he/she can back it up with 'evidence'? Wouldn't that make 99% of the posts on the board completely irrelevant? If someone says he knows something tobe true can't we just take it as read? Unless it's BluePizza ......

Well surely it's better to beleive the word of the people that can actually affect the direction of the club, rather than beleiving the supposition and general rubbish that's posted on here most of the time.
