Jim Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Totally expected this type of response from our Chairman. You can go on until the cows come home about how we’ve got ourselves into this mess but no one can deny that the club over the last couple of seasons have tried to work with the EFL over this and they’ve arguably turned around and said we’ll have you anyway? To which we’ve decided to rightly fight back. I think this will end up in showing up the EFL to be the joke outfit most of us believe they are?

I said 'yeah I know keep an eye on 'em, i'm not gonna look it'll only look suspicious, give us the word if they start to come across'. a couple of seconds later he say's 'they've stopped.......they're coming across'. so we turned to face them. there was a dozen or more, and just 2 of us. I said 'you see that big c*** in the middle, get at him whatever we've to take to get there, they all can't hit us at once, and make him have the worst day of his ****ing life'. so we set off to meet 'em, and they stopped, we carried on and they ran, I thought i'm not gonna start chasing these c***s in case they suddenly get better at maths. so we watched them for a few seconds and carried on our way, we'd just turned the next corner when there's 250 at 30 yard coming our way, blue and white, owl motif, my heads goin' like a dalek trying to spot something one way or the other. all I can say is thank the lord for those blue sweaters with the owls badge on that were popular in the early 80's.. I've often wondered IF the dozen oldham fans hadn't run off and we'd have had to erm 'defend ourselves' IF the arrival of 250 cavalry might have swung the balance (that's assuming it wasn't going our way to start with). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Investing way over our means resulting in us having to sell our only major asset. Not so good. It’s not “way over our means” though is it? Could we put this to bed once and for all - our owner isn’t broke, we’re not poor, we do have money and we’re not in the verge of going out of business. We have unknown millions available, the problem is we are not allowed to spend any of it without some creative accountancy, hence the “selling” of the major asset. The sale was our chairman pumping more of his money into the club despite some of the crap he gets from some in our fan base. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agentwalker Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 The positive thing about all this is that it's going to drag on and either way the EFL won't dare give us a points deduction until it's sorted either way. Go out and get promoted then effectively have a slagging match with the big bully from the other side of the river where they can't touch us. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps we will both take the EFL on. Mel Morris months ago said he would rather take on the EFL than the HMRC over selling the stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s hope so and we have got all bases covered, the timing of the clubs response suggests they were aware this was coming and have taken the appropriate steps to bat it straight back . I for one are totally behind our chairman and benefactor on this stance and hope he can kick there arses some of the comments regarding Mr C on this board have been disgusting.

We are where we are now and right or wrong our owner was never in a million years backing down. the simple fact is we shouldn’t be here, and truth be known if you can’t see the possibility of another monumental fizz up after the track record of the past few years then you are sticking your fingers in your ears shouting g lalalalala,ala,a,a,ala,a,lalalalala i hope we haven't done anything wrong, not for his sake for our fans sake, but am I worried Ofc I flipping am. most football fans however ( due to blind faith and loyalty would sleepwalk into a raging fire) but that’s life Then fans would be slagging DC for not backing the club financially. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offside_Owl Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 I think one of the major questions here will be: If the EFL approved the sale of the stadium in summer 2018 (per The Athletic), why was it not sold until June 2019? With the companies that own the ground created in June 2019 on the date the delayed accounts were filled? I think that will need a good answer from DC.

darra Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 I know that the Thai culture is about "face" so things have to be done properly and in a certain way. Also means that Chansiri wouldn't say things in the statement if they weren't true. People on here who have done business with businesses in that part of the world things are gone over with a fine-tooth comb especially legal matters so I'm guessing this won't be a quick solution and could run and run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
