Midsblue Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Well I’d ignore all those who claimed DC was signing today. Nailed on apparently. Truth is 99.9% of the posters ITK are sitting at their keyboards hammering out delusions on a Walter Mitty scale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midsblue Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Those keyboard dreamers were extremely quiet yesterday. With just under 4 days to go until window shuts, you’d think they’d be banging their keyboards fabricating meetings in every coffee shop and chicken shack in town. With Kronke buying Arsenal outright, Usmanov will have £1 billion burning in his pocket. After investing £4m, AL now only has £995m - remember he wasn’t a billionaire - but how much realistically would you need minimum to turn this nightmare around permanently? Personally I reckon £30 million spread over 5-6 years reinvesting on player resales to keep topping up those funds. With luck and good fortune you’d get a return on that money once you reach that promised land. Granted that was Blitz’s plan but inexperience in acquiring players, managers etc plus the economic downturn meant we went in the opposite direction. Surely AL must mix in circles of football mad multi-millionaires or billionaires? Football Manager on a grand scale to achieve Prem football within 10 years. £30m is at the back of their chaise lounge these days and wouldn’t be missed....

Especially the part about ALs contacts. The players he has brought in which the managers havent picked up have been absolutely horrific. Not one of them is League 1 level. Why would his other contacts be any good? What makes you think he knows any other people who would want to invest? He bought Oldham Athletic ffs! If he knew anyone who had decent business sense theyd have advised him not to. FYI I am also not a billionaire, but £30million isnt short change... and it would take a hell of a lot more to turn our shit run club around.

He wasn't training this morning, but there were only 12 of them out there. I was told on Saturday that the deal had been agreed and we were just waiting for registration clearance from India...

When a club can pay over 100,000,000 for a human being, football and spending wisely don’t go together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlossopLatic Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Doesn't it depend on what we call turning the club around. If the aim is to get to league 1 then it wouldn't require anywhere near that, if it meant becoming an established championship club then I think that's about right. To make us premiership well clubs such as Middlesborough and Brighton were losing £20mil a season with much bigger supports than what we have so I think to get us to the PL from where we are now would require someone prepared to burn 9 figures, and people prepared to do that on Oldham Athletic are as rare as rocking horse shit.
