Oldham Athletic Chairman Still Looking to Sell Despite Koukash Snub

Oldham Athletic chairman Simon Corney has revealed he is still seeking new investment for Oldham despite rejecting interest from billionaire Marwan Koukash.

Corney last week confirmed that he would not be selling to Koukash, a horse-racing magnate who also owns Super League club Salford Red Devils, because of his intention to move Latics away from Boundary Park and into a new stadium.

The Oldham chairman is content with the club’s current abode, which is currently under construction to have a new stand fitted, and wants any potential investors to continue his work rather than starting afresh.

“I have made it public before that I am looking for somebody to invest in the club, the team and stadium. That is still the case,” Corney told Oldham’s official website.

“I am not looking for somebody to come in and make a clean sweep and do it his way as I believe we are on the right track.

“If they share our vision and buy into it, then I will happily talk to them and bring them on board.”
