Just been on and see you've had a couple of responses already!

Not too sure why he wants to build a fish and chip shop in a place that big. Saying that, I've never been, how big is it?

Yeah it'll make money but surely a sports bar with a couple of fast food outlets would go down even better.

Thought the same too , it is a big building inside , it would have been a better option to have like you say a sport bar that does food .

Guess time will tell

Lenegan would be stupid to buy them, they are a sinking ship. If they go down, they will go down again and will be worth nothing at all, and I for one, cannot wait!!!!!!!!

depends what it would cost him. how much does a championship side go for these days?

Lenagan isn't allowed to be involved with the Latics, and given his stated aims for Oxford United (buying their ground back etc) won't be a credible buyer for a long time.

If IL does buy them (even through a third party a la Murdoch / Bates) it would be because it would benefit him financially . Same as Whelan sold his share in JJB for around £170 million just before it went tits up .These people are not in the situation they are in by being stupid .

Isn't in Lenagans son who is involved with Oxford United?

Listed as a current director along with his (2) sons and Jim Rosenthal...

Simon Lenagan is an Executive Director, Adrian Lenagan is a non-Exec Director.

But Ian Lenagan is owner and an Executive Director which means he can't be involved in another football club according to FA rules.

I think that might be fishing with them dots on the end but i will respond anyway

Latics in the championship will still be worth a damn sight more than Leeds or Coventry as they are both in a poor financial state. Im not too sure what Sheff uniteds finances are like though.

At the moment though they are still in the premiership which means they are worth a few quid.

There's nothing saying he has to use all the building. Use some, rent some of it out.
