I thought the training ground had already been sold. And that the stadium wasn't up for sale on its own? Didn't the administrator say that he'd be shot if he agreed to that?

Is whatever paper you're referring to talking b######s or have things changed?

Latics had two mate. The old Christopher Park one, which is still owned by the club and one at Euxton, which was bought from Bolton when they were in trouble. It’s the Euxton site which has been sold already to PNE.

The Americans don’t want to buy the stadium but the administrators said they won’t sell it separately because they’d be shot. Reading about the Latics forum, they’re at the point where they certainly wouldn’t be shot for selling the stadium if it meant the club was bought out and survived and was able to play at the stadium on a rental basis.

The council simply can’t afford to buy the stadium.

Mr Lenegan made an offer for the stadium i believe

Maybe this would be best if the rugby owned the ground, especially if they can pick it up at a reduced rate

To be fair Krasner seems to be changing position more than the Tories. It’s hard to know what’s truthful or not with them, I was under the impression that if there was no buyer by 31st Aug they’d be wound up?

I've not really followed this melodrama closely. But it seems to me that the Americans aren't valuing Latics too highly in any shape or form. If the most they're prepared to part with is 500k, what kind of future owners are they going to be? Unless they're planning to generate some more funds by selling Christopher Park as building land.

Also, who exactly does the Administrator fear is going to shoot him (metaphorically of course)? The Latics fans? When selling the stadium to IL would be one sure way to continue with football at the DW?

I suggest the Admin guy stops reading Latics forums, where the mindless minority have always seemed to outbay everyone else, and gives himself a reality check.

Surely, you mean like all Politicians including Councillors!

It's getting to the stage where I'm not sure anyone should believe anything this guy says. He certainly doesn't conduct himself like a real administrator.
