Why does a government organisation need to bail out a private company that has a track record of bad planning

 

A simple answer is it doesn't.

Hmmm! Well, it's called soft power. There is an argument that a 'successful' sporting team or teams means a successful town. Look what happened when England football were on roll, when GB does well at the Olympics?. The UK is very good at soft power and that is reflected in our economy. We punch way above our weight. Now if the local council can help to kick start the two pro teams then maybe the 'feel good' factor can be resurrected in Oldham. Of course there will have to be strings attached. As I said, it's a point of view,

Someone in the UK has won £184million on the Euros. Hope it's a yeds fan.

It actually says "when the football club no longer wanted them as tenants" . No bridges, no burning! You are perpetuating myths and speculation. The truth is, you don't know, I don't know. Only one or two people know what actually caused the breakdown.

Dunno, like I said only one or two people actually know. The rest is speculation. So until those people actually put it down in print I find it best not to guess.

[Little no it all]

Latics downfall is blamed on a person similar to rugby downfall 

Sport in Oldham was killed by politics and greedy men  

[Little no it all]

Oldham council have gifted Oldham rugby run by private companies at least amount 

[Little no it all]

Correct Oldham rugby has no address not even at companies house 25 years on 

why would Oldham council give money to a company run by a bloke who doesn’t pay tax

A usual reminder, if you have evidence (press, court documents, etc) of wrong doing, you are free to post it.  My mates dads uncle is not an allowable source for such speculation.
