Oldham in trouble

Quote: Marto "Nope there is no muddled thinking on my part. Only incomprehension on your part.

No you're muddled. I comprehend the twee 'common ownership' models. They are a joke.

Maybe Huddersfield are a shining example of how a wealthy man can run a club for the benefit of the fans and the club and not for what he alone can get out of it. But i'm afraid he's in the minority.

Not true. these guys earn huge amounts of money. The ROI from sport is meaningless to them. Their pleasure is from their team doing well...just like most fans

Most wealthy backers, in my experience, are in it for their own benefit.

Richard Branson wasn't a fan of the broncos was he? soon scarpered when the going got tough.

He enjoyed his involvement and continued to offer financial support following his exit. Or does an owner have to commit for life? Many fans come and go.

Paul Caddick isn't a Fan of the rhinos, he is and always has been a rugby union man, but saw an opportunity when he bought into the leeds CF&A, and only serviced their debit rather than paying it off.

The guy who owned the club while they have become the most successful team in the summer era + with the biggest fan base + an excellent youth structure. Tell me you are kidding well done son. you haven't read or comprehended anything i've said.

I counter your statement about wealthy benefactors being fans of the club and all you can do is talk about money and success they have brought. How did that make Caddick a Rhinos fan pre him buying the club. Steven Vaughan was never a fan of any of the clubs he's ruined, but why should we let that get in the way of your ideas. I can live with Ken Davy Doing what he wants. but what happens should his business empire go bust? where will that leave the giants and HTFC?

You really have no idea what you are talking about. Maybe you should apply for a job with the RFL. They could do with more people like you. possibly a job in development.

and as for your statement about twee common ownership and it been a joke. maybe you've heard of a small team called FC Barcelona? They certainly aren't a joke.

but hey ho, you stick to living in your little bubble, and i'll crack on with running my club, secure in the fact that no one person can buy or sell my club for private gain.
