Magister Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 But thats the point, why advertise the fact that we sold the clause, it'd be pointless trying to put clauses into other future sales if we are advertising to all the other clubs how easily we can be sold out. cunning plan but the whole country knowing we had not paid the players is probably a clue to other clubs about finances at Oldham Athletic?

losesome Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 (edited) New idea for Shez that i am sure SC would love - Only need a few lines - CF required , must be able to score at least 15 goals between now and end of April and already have enough of a pay off to just require expenses. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/35473129 Edited February 2, 2016 by losesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet, MAYBE. The clause was sold before the press found out about unpaid staff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davegtt Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Says who? Says who that it didnt. You cant guess all these hypothetical situations and just agree on the one that suits your agenda the most as an excuse to moan. Fact is, its all if's and but's at the minute.

Aarondo Westy Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 They have sat on the knowledge that this club will get nothing from the sale of Tarkowski, even during the 'where and when' he would be going to, 'not if', they said nothing. They gave a vague 'months ago' snippet in The Chron and I'm not interested in how much they sold out for. I realise Simon Corney is absolutely desperate to get away from the club, but that doesn't excuse the patronising rubbish that is spouted. This ranks alongside claiming the North Stand will up and running at the start of the season, we're in February 2016 and it still isn't complete, please don't insult me by saying that they didn't know the stand wouldn't ready either.

Magister Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 (edited) Am I missing something here....we sell a football club asset for £150k and lose £500k on the deal so that it can fund a stand which the football club doesn't owe and worse still leases back! .....and I am expected to applaud the financial astuteness of the club?

Scapegoat Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 ??????????? Read that several times and am still baffled! Don't tell people we took a bargain cut price offer for Tarky's buy-out clause because it would prejudice any future similar situation we find ourselves in.

Which on a completely different scale of magnitude is what Wenger did to finance the Emirates stadium - a number of seasons of spending low and selling top top talent to keep the stadium moving knowing that eventually it will pay back. Sadly, 60,000 people is viable when you play like Arsenal. 6,000 when you play like us isn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never mind when a player gets the thought in their heads of "should I celebrate when I score this goal like a madman .. " .. aren't a couple of ex Latics players coming back to ISZ soon?

Watched us at Dale once and took the Mrs. She was amazed at all the crap given out to Eardley and asked why. I replied that she knew more about football than they did. She took it as a compliment!

mikeroyboy Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 The home support numbers on Saturday will be an indication of how disappointed the fans are with our transfer activity since Shez took over. It will take more than the 3 Amigos to shake off the majority of the stalwart 3500 and Shez put on a1000 home support against Bury. We are due some luck with a manager - so is Corney. There is no one at BP deliberately trying to sink the club but everyone has their limit financially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
