Thread | Members who called the Trust EGM
at 19:35 26 Aug 2025
It saddens me deeply to write this, but not as much as it did to read what I have.
An email sent to the Trust by a member, challenging an issue with data protection, was shared, with a response, to the whole Trust board. Unfortunately, the internal response was shared with the originator, incredibly naive and ironic, given the nature of the initial email. I was asked to view the email trail as the recipient wanted at least another person to see what had been written.
Throughout the process of following the procedure allowed by the articles of the Trust, efforts have been met with contempt, delay, and a startling arrogance. Even now - 6 1/2 weeks after the meeting, still no minutes, despite the requirement of the articles for such meetings to be minuted. Or monthlyed, such is the delay.
Here's how one of you may be viewed:
"... more than glad to respond to (Member)and copy the club officials (X, X & X) in on the email. Indeed I am more than happy to have emailed the members to explain, however this would just lead the Toxic Five to get more hot under the collar."
Toxic Five.
That is how some of the 30+ members are viewed and discussed at Trust board level.
This group of members simply challenged a process, following the correct process themselves in setting up the first ever Trust EGM (I think it was the first called by members, anyway).
When you challenge, you get this from the same email trail:
"...obviously part of the mob making things difficult re the Trust Director business, shows that group what for they are." (sic)
Mob : a large and disorderly crowd of people. especially : one bent on riotous or destructive action.
Sufficient in number to trigger an EGM, conducted in an orderly fashion, requesting respectfully that the board listen to members in a constructive and non-confrontational manner.
Mob? Really?
Certain of this group that challenged the process have been labelled "trouble causer" and causing "mither".
Please do not forget that the members who called the EGM did not agree on the appointment/non-appointment, just the process used by the Trust board. We wanted member consultation on this decision. Instead, members of the Trust board exhibit contempt, disdain and unaccountability.

After singing with us on the pitch after Joey T sent Oldham down and all the help they gave us fighting off that slug Southall, and themselves being victims of bad ownership, it's great news that they've have reached the championship. |

Thread | Election of new Trust main board director

Having been forwarded the Trust email, just wondering if any other members have not received it directly?
I'm quite taken aback at some of the claims within it and also the foregone conclusion element too.
Personally think a Trust EGM needs to be called in order for members to direct the Trust board.

Yet more positive action being taken by the club. Hopefully no one will trip on pavements or cruckle in potholes

It's a beautifully paced conveyor belt of positivity being proferred by our new owners and I hope this thread does not elicit any sort of negativity. |

From Kieran Maguire on X
Oldham Athletic lost almost £3.2 million in 23/24. Losses were effectively covered by borrowing, with liabilities increasing to £10 million and owner Frank Rothwell lending over £7.1 million. Oldham bought players for £110k in the season. |
