Appointing Kevin Birkett to a role at the club, nevermind Detective Shitpeas will mean we will never be a family club for a few years anyway. In terms of respecting the local area and those who reside there, then I'm sorry to say that Oldham Athletic are unlikely to ever meet this target again. The population of Oldham is 22.5% non-White and likely to be rising, I doubt the crowd at the football club is a quarter of that. I think our best chance in my memory to meet 11.25% (so half the rate of the population of Oldham) is with the current owner. Any owner who isn't a fan is going to see the club as a money making project, although heaven knows why. Selling the club to Moore nevermind the Landlords or Marco put a dent in that. Any club that signed Lee Hughes, nearly signed Ched Evans and has been linked with a few other nefarious characters is already in negative credit in terms of being a family club. The fact that our Community Trust do such excellent work, and the players join in too, means that negative credit is wiped out. But I'm sorry to say even by my definition, which is a lot less strict than your definition, Oldham Athletic is not a family club. I doubt it ever will be. Good response... I was really talking about the club I grew up with from 1976. It has changed for the worse, sad to see. Feel sorry for the young fans who never got to experience the "glory days " like me. You never know though, things can change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

latics22 Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 What I find puzzling is, a lot of people said cog had been dropped by AL. He’s played every game under wild and it’s hinted Scholes was told to drop Clarke and he’s started every game. He obviously has a rock on for bragner, but the rest seem fair game?

latics22 Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 I’ve heard that when the players shower he comes in and make them all wear bragner masks. With no eye holes.... don’t know what he gets up to, when they can’t see him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On balance, it would seem that way but Scholes knew that before he eventually took the job. When he came in, all expectations had gone for the season. Scholes could easily have given it a good go until the end of the season and see where it went. IMO, I think Scholes used the alleged interference to jump ship because he realised he was not up to the task. Had we stuck with Wild we would have been in and around the playoffs. Anyway, we are where we are. I do not like the owners methods, as reported on here and by disgruntled ex employees, but he is the only one putting money into the club. Hence, I will continue to support the manager and team (and all the local support staff) and hope the trust can enter into a dialogue with the owner and get the club run in a fit and proper way.

The question need to be asked , is he putting money in? Seems a lot of unpaid bills, the players weren’t being paid until the cup run. We only have his word what he’s putting in, we haven’t signed anyone for money, the wage bill must have been cut, if it’s true he paid a quid for the club. He could be just living off the cup run and league payments. Until we see proof of accounts , who knows ? He could have racked up even more debts.

To look for and concentrate narrative on the nuance, is to obfuscate on behalf of the main problem. It is neither helpful, nor ultimately relevant.
