Two promotions to the top flight. A league one promotion (with City) and a league cup final with us? There's not much I can find about Correa but are any of his achievements as relevant today as Royle's were in 2009? You have a point but the Royle 2009 appointment was strictly caretaker wasn't it? I suspect Harry was maybe thinking of permanent appointments (well as it's Latics, "permanent"). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nohairdontcare Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I’d guess that the players have been told not to tweet. Sheridan’s exit is being stagemanaged like someone who knows about PR is actively calling the shots. Shez in his civvies, not in Latics gear, saying everything was mutual and amiably agreed, to the cameras... he would not do that unless it was part of a goodbye settlement that made it worth doing. He clearly dug his heels in - as per interview after last defeat - then negotiations took place that involved his payoff and the way in which he could be let go minimising backlash from supporters. It’s this whole new grasp of PR - far removed from red fleeces etc - that makes me think the investment/takeover is close to the finish line. Somebody other than Corney is running the club. No prizes for guessing who. And as i said this morning, I hope Shez has taken a big wedge of cash off him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dec666 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 The more I think about it the more gutted I am. There was a feeling of togetherness under Shez no other manager will ever replicate. I’m probably being too sentimental, but I still left on Saturday believing he could get it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall Johnson saying something along the lines of “if the supporters knew the full story... etc” in the Chron or widely reported. I dont recall any manager sitting infront of the club’s camera, not in club gear, saying it is all grand - which is what we saw on Latics Player or whatever it’s called now. There’s no way Sheridan - after getting the boot which is something I think we can be confident of - would have done that unless it was part of his payoff deal. Which leads to the conclusion that someone is deftly managing the axing of a club legend before the new boss (for want of a better term) is brought in. Again, someone is managing the PR here that is far removed from what we’ve been dealing with for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leeslover Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 No chairman (or board of directors) would fancy a bloke who calls his old clubs a bunch of wankers after he gets sacked.

oafcshuck Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Still pains me to this day The passion he actually had, he loved this club The way he was forced out .. Best football in my lifetime 2006/2007 2 saviours (one after being pied) and 2 saviours from absolutely nowhere The guy can manage and loves the club Still maintain to this day we'd be in a far better position if he hadn't been sacked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafcshuck Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Seriously .... 1998-2001 in that Slumberland kit he helped us out .... 100 year old 2004 - that yellow away kit at league favourites Sheff Weds on one leg he bags that penalty for a 1-1 I think 2-2 draw 2006-2007 takes us to our only second play off year in eventually 21 years playing the best football this generation saw 2015-2016 saves us when even Mourinho couldn't save us 2016-17 same again when it was mission impossible and gave us Chesterfield away I honestly don't think Shez gets the credit he deserves We'll never know but I still a million percent believe we wouldn't have gone done last season under him 25 years a blue and I can't think of many better in that time, Dux, Eyresy but how can anyone argue with that record above ....

the_mighty_bosh Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 I saw Notts play yesterday. I have a very strong urge to tweet their Alan Hardy to say that Shez is the manager he should be hiring instead of Harry Kewell. It's still early in the season but I'm not surprised that Shez has Carlisle ticking. As for us, I'm happy with the way that Frankie is going about things so far.
