Some on here only post when bad things happen, and revel in them. Then again I suppose I'm a "happy clapper" not a "fold the club" brigade. Who are these people are they on here?

People may well be pissed off with the endless shite we've endured year on year, now culminating with this berk running us like a shitshow and turning us into some 2nd rate European football talent school - and rightly so - but I still don't think a single fan will be 'willing' a manager to fail at Oldham. Spot on sjk2008. I`m usually quite an optimistic person (honest!) but our sinking ever further into the abyss I find thoroughly depressing. Others don't seem to do - we're all different I suppose. I see no positives since our new owner arrived - none whatsoever. I don't fall for "lip service" like sticking a name on a stand or handing out a free scarf when I observe our club generally being regarded as a laughing stock in many quarters. It just seems like one big vanity project - and they usually end in disaster. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do have a lot of fans who adopt a stance and would then rather be proven "right" to the detriment of the club than give credit where it's due if they're proven wrong. They're a psychologists dream I'd imagine.... A lot of them also wrongly use the word "fickle" to describe those of us who just try to call it as we see it - i.e. praise us when we're good, slate us when we're shit - rather than adopt an agenda that must not be deviated from.... It didn't seem hostile when we were doing okay under Bunn last season, in and around the play-offs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're probably right I was basing my theory on the people who virtually never post when something positive happens ( admittedly few and far between these days ) but are as prolific as Enid Blyton when something negative occurs, and do seem to wallow in it. Perhaps I'm just over optimistic ( or naive ) but it's an attitude that suits me more than some of the doom mongers who post on here, who probably are right most of the time but are bloody depressing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. As usual, way off the mark haha! What do I know. All aboard the Banide promotion train Edited June 25, 2019 by unsworthlatic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlayItLivo Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I see Forest have appointed a new manager today who gives Banide a run for his money in terms of obscurity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
