But then again Premier League (at the time) Burnley saw enough to bid for him...

Burnley never bid for Vaughan. That was a rumour put out by the club to try to create other bids.

Really sad news that Danny Philliskirk's daughter was taken ill several weeks ago and diagnosed with Hepatoblasma, cancer in both the liver and lungs! 

 

Our thoughts are with the whole Philliskirk family.

Which others have with any detail and substance? Happy to be wrong I just know a lot have said little on sackings 

Obviously when there is litigation involved you don't go publishing information on OWTB and Twitter. 

I am surprised that with all the bits of information put into the public domain that you ae still looking for more substance and detail.Wake up and see what is happening to your club.

Billy is only saying what many ex employees know and think.

Just seen this below on Twitter Is that Danny Philliskirk in a Latics tracksuit at the back? If so he must be following his dads footsteps 

 

It is and he is and is still playing for Fylde

Fucking joke of a club. Didn’t even get a fee for him while under contract. Suppose we’ll get some frog cunt in now, but who will be responsible for actually handing the ticket to the customer? 

 

Fuck me there’s some real sad cunts on here. Billy is a young lad looking to better himself (I imagine). He done an admirable job from what I’ve seen.  I wish him all the best. 

More fuss on here thoughfrom some than there was when Big Joe left.

edit: just quoted you Bristol not aimed at you in particular (however if the cat fits )

Its just a symptom of the way the club is. Billy is the only person at the club that many have any empathy with.

AL needs to sign 3/4 good loan signings tommorw or Tuesday if he doesn't well dont want to think about it

That would be great,but good loan signings will already have been signed up.Put that with the fact that our reputation with other clubs is dire, if they are young players clubs like them to be placed in a stable coaching environment and will not see putting them into  League 2 relegation battle as good fot their development. Best we can hope for is more from ALs little black book.

I left before the end, but felt sorry for the players throughout the game. Many of them are not up to the standard of this league or perhaps the National League,we will only find that out next season. Footballers in general are traded around like cattle, it's a good life for some,but many at the lower levels struggle. These lads are trying to make a living and have been caught up in a shambles of a get rich quick dictatorship going badly wrong.On a personal level we need to cut them a bit of slack and vent our displeasure at the Directors.

What quality players are there either

A Still available and fit 

Or

B Desperately knocking on the door of the club at the bottom of the football league

Sums up your judgement, you havent seen Egert play for us yet, nobody has.

Everyone we've signed this summer is a world beater, until they set foot on the pitch.

Highlight of the day Lee Duxbury doing the half time draw

I will be there at the meeting.

Today's performance was entirely predictable before a ball was kicked this season. Likewise over the next 2 3 games it won't get any better.

As each game goes by there will be less slowly slowly  we are making progress supporters.

This has been brewing since AL walked into Boundary Park. We need cohesive action now, no agendas just get our family football club back.

The OEC and the car park are a disgrace.  OEC  (Blitz of FLG) needs to get its finger out. 

Is that all he who has much to say about everything can muster about today's shambles?

The car park has been a disgrace since the North Stand was built.

The performances on the the pitch more than ever are at a critical tipping point threatening the future of our club in the EFL. That is what we should focus on not the state of the car park.

That was just entirely predictable,its simple its just the team that has been built.No talent commensurate with what is needed in this division, no leadership, no team spirit, no physicality.

An absolute shambles.Where was this world beating full back that we have supposedly signed from Plymouth?

If he did challenge AL he would be out the door like everyone else who upsets him. Perhaps BO is trying to gently persuade AL to change his attitude, without confronting him.

 

I admit it hasn't worked very well so far, if that is what he is doing, but we don't know what goes on behind the scenes.

 

I'm not trying to stick up for BO here, just making a comment. 

Don't worry BO is not sat on the sidelines gently persuading.He is right there in the vanguard implementing the Lemmys policies

I think the important word is "heart". We can debate on here the whys and wherefors say that some have agendas, but at the end of the day it is how people feel in their heart that matters. Each fan voted with their heart in some way when they decided to support Latics,it wasn't the result of some deep analysis of Latics versus Rochdale,City or United.Likewise some stick with it because their heart is in it some will drift away because they lose heart.We need a club where more have heart than lose heart,unfortunately the condition of the club currently is that too many are losing heart which is unhealthy for long term survival.

Can people please stop saying he's reduced the debt. The edited and unchecked accounts you are working off are over 12 months old. Since then we've gone down, sacked several staff, paid off players, paid off potential unfair dismissal claims, lost our credit ability, pension issue and lost revenue from the North stand. There is not telling how much debt is attached to the club now.

Also we don't know that he has oaid off debts.What if TTA wrote off monies due to them when AL bought the club.At this point we don't know how the debt has been reduced.

Swings and roundabouts. Six of one, half a dozen of the other. 

 

Can't you see why AL wouldn't want to negotiate with them when their plan is pretty clearly to get his club eventually? They're not going into this with the intention to work with AL for a lengthy period 

Your assumption about their intentions is probably spot on. Nobody has worked with AL for a lengthy period during his tenure at Latics,except for his brother and Barry Owen.

If Wild wanted to spill his guts why didn’t he do it of his own volition on his own time in a public way?  It’s nothing new. We already new there had been interference, Scholes said it happened. I don’t need any more proof. Thanks for your concern though. 

 

Do do you want to just keep repeating the same speculation, rumour and stories over and over or do you want to move forward and make progress? One is the mindset of the typical canteen, the other is the mindset of an effective boardroom. 

 

 

I work within many effective boardrooms and know how they work. Being a supercillious nitpicker is not an attribute that is effective in any boardroom.

Some good, some questions.  

 

I’ll get the moan out of the way first.  Considering one of the three is supposed to be in PR, he doesn’t seem to understand how to run a positive and grown up campaign (I guess that’s the way these days). Having PWild there to trot out the same old accusations and “woe is me” was a mistake for me.  It is pointless and was irrelevant in the context of the event. The FLG is on a journey regardless of the past, good or bad.  It just serves to wind up the other side and potentially divide the fan base further.  

 

Please don’t say you are happy to negotiate and at the same time have the event as a mouthpiece for someone to stick the boot in. Move on.  Don’t play to the crowd. Don’t be cocky. Take the high morale ground, be better than them, just deliver on what you say you are going to do in a professional and serious manner.  Have a word with the two Simons and tell them to wind their necks in on social media, it’s a basic that any company would insist upon.

 

 

I’m comforted and relieved that it’s not just the builder and the two Simon's. Those three simply don’t have the funds to splash out £7m.  Thank god there are others involved is all I will say on that as if it was just those three it would be a major problem imo.  (Don’t insult my intelligence by stating you are doing it for nothing either)

 

So the other people, who still don’t want to be named, must have some serious cash, good.  They want to remain anonymous, not so good... but we will have to respect that... for now.  But it shouldn’t go on a minute longer than it needs to.  It’s VERY counter productive to be secretive, it gives room to rumour and accusations.  Anyone got any ideas why someone would need to be incognito in this? Is getting involved in Latics THAT controversial?

 

I’m also a bit puzzled why they didn’t move on this earlier and I’m a bit puzzled why they aren’t trying to buy the club. The timing and the approach does raise a question about their funding. Is this the approach because they need an asset to raise funds against.  In other words,  are they having to mortgage the ground to buy it?  Was that covered at the meeting? 

 

Anyhow. They seem to have a decent plan, but they will need to deliver on it quickly and visibly  to win over the whole fan base.  I’ll certainly support them if it begins to comes through, but I’ll also support the team on the pitch.  

 

One question. How does just the North Stand generate £500k a year for the club from match day activity?  Have I misread that?  I’m sure those ‘in the know’ on here told me we made “feck all” from it and it was a “white elephant”

I take your point about right time right place for Pete Wild to air his grievances. Also interesting that you who always are asking for proof of the so called "rumours" posted on here have now heard it from "the horses mouth", just not in you preferred forum.

Its actually a criminal offence and can see the company directors brought to court. I'm not totally sure how long it is before criminal prosecution occurs but it will be interesting to see how this currently plays out.

Criminal prosection is not the route that Companies House take they usually apply to have the company struck off which is akin to liquidation

Decent trip. Fans who went clearly loved it too.  

 

Good work out and a chance for the new manager to really get to know the players properly, work and play. 

Looking good for the upcoming season
