Unfortunately, you cut the tree back too far and you’re left with something that’s withering and dying. It’s had to be a complete rebuild of the club that’s been required and getting the basics right is a start. He needs to sort the pension situation next. I find it baffling that someone like yourself Dave, can’t see that there was never going to be an overnight fix to the clubs grave situation. And would take years and someone with a lot of money to chuck away to get us on an even keel. Maybe so, but we can't overlook the fact that the coach/manager has little say in who gets signed and who plays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Mr Brooke break in your house Xmas eve and take a shit under your tree Kow ?

Unfortunately the payback has been the virtual loss of the clubs identity. Let’s assume for one moment that his intentions are good and he has ‘steered us away from the iceberg’ there are so many things he could have done better in the process. We could have accepted that cutbacks were needed, but then why were vast sums wasted on overpriced players in the early months and good people sacked without warning? I think its it’s safe to say all most Latics fans want is a well run club that promotes youth and brings in the occasional player who might get you off your seat once in a while, coupled with honest communication and transparency toward the fans who spend good money at the turnstiles and time following their team around the country. If he’d gone about it this way he would have people on side and behind him. The fact he hasn’t makes me conclude he only has one thing at heart and it ain’t OAFC.

This, Add in the waste of time and money on the Morocco trip. And then look at who we have signed. 18, 18, 21, 23, 26, 26, 27, 28, 33 Klos at 18 is a tier 5 gamble no reason other players could do same job Harry Robinson at 18 is sensible and fits the criteria, but a tiny number of youth signed up Iacovitti to me is not really a youth, but a fair signing under the circumstances The rest are just fillers on god knows what wage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
