Ronaldo Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 The only real positive to his presence is the kind of player we're now signing. Under the previous owner, we largely spunked money on players that had seen their best days already. At least now, we get a player with potential to grow and rise. This is bollocks like. Another myth that's become fact.

HawK Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Sorry if Giggs, but.. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/28522535 Oldham Athletic: Photocall off with new strip still to arrive Oldham have had to cancel a planned photocall - because they have no strip. The League One club are waiting for home and away strips from new suppliers Sports Direct and have been playing pre-season games in training gear. Oldham are also without a club shop, although a new store is being built in the club's as yet unfinished new stand. A club spokesman said they would unveil a new away strip on Thursday with the home kit to be revealed on 7 August, two days before the season kicks off. Oldham signed a seven-figure sponsorship deal with Sports Direct in the summer. As part of the deal the firm are to open a new store at SportsDirect.com Park and supporters have been told they will be able to order the new kits, when they are available, online or from local Sports Direct stores. A spokesman said: "We look forward to unveiling our new kit and seeing the fans wearing it." Where's our 7-figure sum?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
