One game could be a get together...however, attending 2 or 3 games in succession tells us something is definitely happening!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lags Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 TTA want out. Clearly. That's a true statement. Who wants in? we don't know. The shame of it all is that TTA didn't strike it lucky on PD from day one. they'd most likely got what they wanted when they had high hopes and real dreams.

IIRC someone with the surname Blitz but not Simon, was a big poster in the Oldham for the championship facebook group, maybe its him.

opinions4u Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 So, what have we established? 1. Peter Risdale is fronting a takeover. 2. The backers are the owners of the rights to all of Hans Christian Anderson's work, together with Helena Christiensen (who died her hair blonde and joined Stitch on the pitch for the half time draw). 3. Paul Scholes will play next season, replacing Furman who's £5m sale proceeds will be used to repay TTA their "investment". Scholes will then join the coaching staff with a view to replacing Dickov as first team manager when he moves to Real Madrid. 4. Simon Corney will be welcome to attend all future games as Life President of the club, and a statue will be erected in his honour outside Primark. 5. Jim Gannon will be the new director of football with responsibilites for youth development, scouting and being seen in the directors box more than Peter Risdale. 6. Andy Ritchie will be on the new board with a remit to represent the fans interests as he's more popular than Barry Owen. 7. Sean Gregan will return from Fleetwood and Risdale will be appointing him as Chief Fish Procurement Officer for the new tanks in the executive suite. 8. A new stadium is being built around the Mumps area of town when the tramlines are moved up to Union Street. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singe Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 TTA want out. Clearly. That's a true statement. Who wants in? we don't know. The shame of it all is that TTA didn't strike it lucky on PD from day one. they'd most likely got what they wanted when they had high hopes and real dreams. I agree with that completely. Whilst I think that the current situation of only SC of the TTA possibly means they have taken the club as far as they can. But how anyone can prefer Peter Risdale to Simon Corney, by stating they want SC to leave, is beyond me. People are forgetting the level of investment that they have put in. The worry for me, is transferring the SB Directors loans of £4m to debt to Peter Risdale that might be banks money. Sheff Weds situationn is a reminder. Yet some people seem to think that this will be free money. Debt is debt, be it Simon Blitz, Peter Risdale or some bank or consortium.

garcon Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 Debt is debt, be it Simon Blitz, Peter Risdale or some bank or consortium. No. There is managable debt owed to 'friendly' creditors. And then there is completely unmanagable debt owed to shady organisations, the banks and HMRC. Ridsdale seems somehow addicted to the latter.

al_bro Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 I don't give a stuff about what SC said in the chron last week I know for a fact that he was talking about negotiations for the sale of the club at the game today. He said in his interview with Gordon when asked if there were any buyers "No". But when asked about funding after being knocked out of the cup. He said negotiations were in progress, and I presumed that to mean, new members joining him on the board, but I may be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beag_teeets Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 TTA want out. Clearly. That's a true statement. Who wants in? we don't know. The shame of it all is that TTA didn't strike it lucky on PD from day one. they'd most likely got what they wanted when they had high hopes and real dreams. At the time they had their a version of Dickov in Dowie and Harbin. A young enthusiastic manager who was getting players to perform way beyond their abilities through a mixture of new training methods and a modern approach to the game. The heart had been ripped out of the side during the firesale but if Dowie had stayed and TTA had backed him in the short term then...... But that's in the past and we are where we are now. We need the football people of Oldham to back Dickov now, not tomorrow or yesterday and get bums on seats at BP and raise their voices behind the team. If we're going bust or being taken over lets do it together, the team, the management and the supporters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafc0000 Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 i thought they was here manager before talbot ? http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/footbal...nds-565902.html Oldham's owners, Simon Corney, Danny Gazal and Simon Blitz, had hoped Dowie would stay after their takeover was given the go-ahead in January. But following Dowie's departure the trio refused to be rushed into finding a replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takemeanywhere Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 My memory isn't what it used to be but I thought there was a spell? I remember something about a Mercedes that TTA weren't happy about or some such. Dowie left in December 2003, with the TTA not officially taking over until February 2004. However, they were on the scene weeks earlier and put £200k into the club in October 2003 to keep us going until the takeover could be concluded.

beag_teeets Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 I bet if he was asked now whether leaving Oldham was a good or bad thing he would say that he shouldn't have left when he did. Many young managers leave their first job far too early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
