"Simon Corney is the biggest crook in English football."
Sounds pretty libellous to me. | |

The smugness of Dale fans never ceases to amaze me. Keep your powder dry. There but for the grace of god etc etc.
It’s all cyclical. You’ll be in the shit (again) some day. It’s inevitable in football. Will that be the fans fault? No. | | | |

Crook: a person who is dishonest or a criminal.
I have provided evidence of when he has done both dishonest and criminal things.
Bite me. | | | |

Ah, but is he the biggest, as you have asserted? | |

But it's not 'being smug'. It's trying to make others wake up and look beyond their noses at what's going on. Some of us were ridiculed by Bury fans when we highlighted obvious doubts. Accused of 'interfering noisy neighbours' and 'jealous' of investment. Far from it. Ask the same Bury fans now, whether they think we were mocking or scaremongering.
If you're so cocksure that everything is 100% as it appears, then all is well. It's not long since we were hearing the same stories about Mr. Corney and he being the best thing to happen to Oldham for years. Now we have a fellow OAFC poster alleging that he is 'as bent as the day is long' (allegedly) or words to that effect.
I hope for your sake that all is well, but I do wonder why a man with no allegiance whatsoever to a third tier English football club, should seek to plough his own money into a black hole.
Still..........if you're sure...... | |

Sincerest apologies for the apparent smugness.
Lessons have been painfully learned over time and the current board is mindful of who might replace them by carefully vetting new directors. I think all directors currently are fans first and foremost.
The Trust maintains a healthy shareholding.
We are probably a wholly unattractive proposition for a charlatan or crook to acquire. We may become of interest to bigger players should the unthinkable happen and we get promoted, but I am sure plans are in place for safeguarding should such an event occur.
Best of luck. | |

No, it’s only libel if it’s false. What source? | | | |

Do you understand how the British justice system works? Innocent until proven guilty. Prove to me that the club is guilty of ‘not paying the bills’ under the stewardship of Mr Lemsagam. | | | |

I’m not in the least bit smug about it. I feel sorry for genuine fans of clubs who have been taken over by charlatans. Nor am I saying that your club have. Just saying that I’m glad I know where I stand at Dale. Chill. | | | |

Yes I do. And it’s not innocent until proven guilty, it’s presumed innocent until proven guilty. Therefore I am presumed to be innocent of libel. Whereas you are guilty of being a plank. Why on earth should I want to prove anything to you? | | | |

Christ...
Not long since heard Corney was the best thing ever? Are you just making this up? Do you recall the circumstances under which Corney came to be the owner and how long ago that was and how it wasn’t just him then and how the financial crisis happened and how the council fecked us over etc etc.?
The situation is very clear now. AL owns 97% and The Trust 3%. The Trust has a voting seat on the board. Trust reps seem happy with what they know of Al so far and having met with him.
Anyhow, best of luck for the season ahead. Hopefully we will renew acquaintances next season or within 21 years hopefully!
I for one am more settled and optimistic than at any time in the last 10 years. [Post edited 11 May 2018 13:59]

How can you call any Rochdale fan smug? When Latics beat us 3-1, you were straight on here that night with your ellipsis-fuelled snide remarks about Hill.
Your optimism has been misplaced in the past: you were wrong about Queensy Menig; you were wrong that your transfer dealings in the January window were "brilliant"; you were wrong that we'd both stay up; and you were wrong that Latics would get AT LEAST 60 points this year under Sheridan (your capitals).
I'm not convinced by your chairman who has brought in players based on his own scouting network, players who have been partly responsible for your relegation. His M.O. reminds me of Bury's chairman. | |

Abdallah has undoubtedly made mistakes in his short tenure - the main one being dividing the dressing room with his various signings from overseas who are all rumoured to be on very high wages (4-6k a week) for a poor League One (Two😅) team’s bench. I think he will learn from this after our relegation and give the manager more control over recruitment.
For the first time heading into a new season I feel we have an owner with a genuine desire to progress the club by investing rather than picking away at every last asset like a vulture on a carcass. I’m honestly shocked that Corney never gets the same bad press as the Oyston’s, Oldham Athletic is just a name with no land or ground. | | | |

Your second paragraph is spot on. Your first is wide of the mark.
We're not smug, we're realists. We begrudgingly accepted 40 odd years in the bottom tier as diligence for always selling anything we could (usually at knock down prices*). It was our punishment in return for having a club.
As a result, we rail against the shit or bust approach of other clubs.
I know Oldham haven't applied that approach, and I suspect your owners haven't had the true interests of your club at heart, but your club's finances are in a right state and it's not the fault of the fans as you allude to. Nor do we revel in the mess.
* Peter Ward £35,000 for example. | |

"Payments for tickets sold for away matches last season have not been paid to a number of clubs including local rivals Bury and Rochdale".
If we aren't going to be paid for derby games, maybe they aren't going to be such a big loss next season? | |

Unless I imagined it when Oldham did this previously (not paying for tickets) the Football League paid us directly what was owed out of their share of TV Money. I suspect the same will happen again. | | | |

Jesus! What an absolute disaster of a club.
I love the part about agents not letting their players sign for Oldham as they have no faith in them ever being paid. | | | |

The usual Biffo Brigade will be along shortly to tell us that all is well in LaLa Land. Over £11k a week for rank players....... Jeeeeesus. | |
