Oscar the Cat Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I'd like to offer my services to question Mr Corney . He should be properly cross examined , prepared questions are one thing, putting to the sword is another matter entirely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oscar the Cat Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Well actually he is . Is this not the court of public opinion? . I've watched this site for some time now, most of the questions are completely valid , sadly the answers mere conjecture. Some of you are very near to the truth, others , wildly out of the ball park . All I will say is the club is in desperate trouble , and the conflicts of interest are myriad . The club is 3 rented stands, and a patch of grass, nothing more, seemingly the local press are too intimidated to really ask for the truth, but on a national stage , there have been two articles this year that allude to the actual situation as it exists. Let us hope he presents himself for questioning, and , that those who question, ask what we all need to know. I wonder if anyone has asked a representative of the local authority to attend, I'd be fascinated to hear what the council has to say about its investment, it is after all public money . Is Jim McMahon MP available? Maybe he's too busy ? ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus, he hasn't murdered anyone.... he isn't in the dock. That kind of prejudged witch hunt is exactly what this Q&A should not be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No use bleating and criticising those that have and the whole project now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danbright12 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 (edited) The council didn't invest, they owed us money for Failsworth. They didnt 'owe' us money, they bought the Lancaster club with a redevelopment fund meant to be used for the New Stand. Also, they gave us a 700k grant on top of the 5.7m and renewed chapel road licence. If anything, the way the deal panned out, they did us a big favour taking the Lancaster club off our hands. Redevelopment fund screams INVESTMENT Edited January 9, 2017 by Danbright12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Burns Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Not true. We paid £5m for the lancaster on the basis we could build a stadium. We couldn't build a stadium so they bought it back for £5m. The costs incurred were around £700k so they rather generously gave us a 'grant' of £700k. All hail oldham :censored:in council ✌️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All hail oldham :censored:in council ✌️ To clarify, the 5.7m, as ive already said, was a redevelopment fund for the New Stand because the new stadium fell through. I know the absolute shambles Oldham Council are, but we are very lucky they bought it back of us so that we could redevelopment elsewhere, if they hadnt, i dont know where we'd currently be, playing on avros pitches?

My point on redevelopment fund is based on evidence, yours is based on speculation.Forum has turned into a slagging contest if someone has an alternative view.

singe Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 You going Singe?No, too far for me. Which is why I am not demanding for questions to be asked a certain way, steaming in months after it started and assuming those that are attending are clueless, praising those that have the balls to do it. Even Dan has set out his plan, I might not agree with some of his gung ho comments on here, but he is fronting up and has a reasonable approach. It's those that are sniping at everything and that have already written it off that I particularly have a problem with. I'm not including you in that by the way.

The money was in lieu of being sued by TTA, which would have almost certainly won on the OMBC Advice given, and the money was a negotiated settlement. A win win as quicker recoup for TTA, and less outlay for OMBC, and therefore taxpayer. Edited January 9, 2017 by singe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
