Solid divi paid quarterly and getting back to pre oil spill levels and a deffo buy at anything under a fiver I have 10,000 but yes the real B.P is my temple too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's where I'm at right now Especially since Scholesy came on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly the best decision AL has made in his life, the rewards could be endless but there's always a downside to everything as we all know First time in a very long time I'm feeling the club might be coming off life support with a heart beating as one with the fans.

A Big name attracting massive media exposure and with connection's only 8 miles down the road is like hitting the jackpot.

If scholesy can keep the Pete wild momentum going till the end of the season then I'm certain he will have from the increased home gate, making the play-offs is the real financial game changer in our case.

oafc1955 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 He had apparently targeted Scholes almost from day one, it’s just a shame Wellens was appointed after his ‘purple patch’ as it’s knocked us back 12 months. The Scholes factor should attract media attention, more fans, better players and most of all could help attract additional investment. The Scholes haters really need to step back and think about the bigger picture here. It’s potentially the best thing to happen at the club since Royle left!!

oafc1955 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Possibly so....but for whatever reason, Wellens’s 4 wins on the bounce playing excellent football along the way really ballsed it up for us didn’t it? Just goes to show that knee jerk reactions, especially in football are not recommended! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you seriously comparing Wellens, who was a kid with them, and Gardner, whose link I'm unaware of with one of their longest serving players of all time who was complicit in much of their cheating and general cuntery?

Irrational loathing of people because they happened to play for a club that none of us much like is bizarre. They are professionals striving to get to the top of their profession and if they played for United then they pretty much did so. Can't tell if you are just on the wind up but I guess if not then you would have preferred Askey. Now that's bizarre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many supporters of Oldham Athletic, for numerous rational (& less rational) reasons, have a deep dislike of any & all things Man Utd. I find it bizarre that you find it bizarre how that sometimes manifests itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
