unsworthlatic Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 (edited) I have kept quiet since Banide was appointed as to be quite honest I didn’t really have much to say. It was exactly what I expected. Somebody we have never heard of who had coached in some capacity before but would have no links to the English game. This is exactly what we have got. Is it a risk? Yes, a tremendous one. However, any managerial appointment is a risk. Penney came to Oldham on the back of a decent managerial record, was dross. We hired rookies left, right and centre yet Dowie (albeit with a load of cash) and Johnson were seemingly pretty decent so this is a risk just like any other previous managers we have had to date. English players signing? I’d guess probably not, in fact, I’d be quite confident that we will not be signing any. AL has chosen to go down this route, so let’s see what happens. Sadly, I see it ending virtually as soon as it begins, sacked in October and left scratching around, using our bingo ball machine for the next poor sod to take on the challenge of being the custodian of Oldham Athletic for the 3 months following. When he announced his vision/plan, I was willing to see whether actions speak as loud as his words do. I am still am but an appointment of a 51 year old on a one year deal doesn’t seem to enthral me sadly. I am, like with anybody, willing to give Banide the chance to prove my initial theory wrong and I would love nothing more than going into October/November bouncing our way to Scunthorpe in droves following a tremendous start to the season, sadly I don’t think that will be the case.

That would blow AL's plans out of the window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hands on Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Homegrown does not mean English. In another few years it might mean British. However the qualification still allows us to have 66% who are not homegrown so not a problem for Marco (grown very mush abroad in style and honesty) and Mo ( don't know anything about him). Looking forward to see the accounts at the ned of June! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
