I imagine it would be nice to be just a few Dirhams and Dinars behind him....

 

Maybe he's really good and just likes the lifestyle and money out there? 

That maybe so,  but them that raises two questions,

1. If he enjoys the lifestyle so much , why has he swapped guaranteed sunshine to manage at ice station zebra .

2. Successful (“ really good”) coaches tend to be retained by clubs, so there is a reason as to why he’s has 15 clubs in as many years .

could it me he’s not.very good

Giles Coke, Chris O'Grady, Ishmael Miller, Andy Taylor - all Bunn/Rhodes signings no?

Do you really believe that a two well respected coaches with a good knowledge and connection throughout the premier league academy network would have chosen to drag players out of retirement had they been given the budget ????

British dross is OK then? Could argue some of our best signings have been foreign recently.

That’s because the managers haven’t been to sign who they want and  Curly and Moe (now joined by Larry (aka Owen)) are fucking our club up

he's managed monaco twice at a really decent level. none of our previous managers have anywhere near that experience so thats a good thing and a mrked change from what we have seen previously. should have plenty of contacts and be used to working under people like AL. i think he will fit as well as anyone could do although worried he rarely lasts longer than a year anywhere

And there’s s reason why he’s managed clubs in the back of beyond ... could be because he a tactical genius like Ferguson or Mourinho , or a world class coach like Guardiola or Klopp ... or could it be because he’s shit

Now you mention it.... have FCUM been relegated yet? .  The sooner that experiment ends the better. 

The protest in my eyes is simple ,  but has a few different options

all the home fans attend the Mansfield game dressed as clown or the trust purchase some blow up clowns and we wave them at Abdullah att the Mansfield game

Abdallah interview:

https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11730/11672621/oldham-owner-abdallah-lemsagam-denies-interfering-in-paul-scholes-team-selection

 

Excellent an in-depth interview from the owner , I know understand the turmoil that has been surrounding the club for the past 18 months !!

That is the point though Jack... ‘if it’s true what the Daily Mirror is reporting’.

 

As latics22 says, we need to get the facts before we can say for definite what is actually happening at the club. Many doubt AL and the negative reporting around the goings on at the club has been constant for some time now. We have had a rebuttal of some of the issues at the club (non payment of coach transport and gas bills) but we need an interview with the owner that allows him to answer honestly each of the allegations.

 

I am certain that Abdallah is aware of all the allegations so I am somewhat baffled that he has not gone on record with a full and frank denial of them. Or maybe there is truth in some of the stories...

The problem is Abdallah’s interviews are rarer than rocking horse sxxt outside Buckingham palace, and in the only interview that I’m aware of all he said was slowly slowly .

Too many people have now commented on AL’s interference in team affairs , (wellens, davies , byrne , mceleney, gerrard to name but a few) for it not to be a factor. It’s also clear that confidentiality clause or gagging orders must be in place for all of these to remain silent.

I’m by far defending al, but let’s take everything at face value. There are always two sides to every story. Let’s gets the facts and weigh up both sides. al is obviously untrustworthy, but as many have said Scholes took the easy route. 

I’m sure that Scholes took the easy route when, when everything didn’t go to plan, but AL clearly gave him the ammunition to enable him to quit. If it’s true what the Daily Mirror is reporting -12 of current squad offered new contracts- the im sorry , but we’re fxxked and will be closer to relegation than promotion !

Ok then...

Ok then I was wrong , Oldham Athletic are a money making machine and only pretend to be skint for tax avoid avoidance purposes!!

He's lived a very comfortable life, paid for by the club. I'm not sure what that last bit means. 

Sorry meant to say he made would have peanuts , not sure how you know he lived a comfortable life off the club, but as far as I know he quite wealthy in his own right

He made enough, especially with the handouts he kept getting from Blitz. 

Hand outs from Blitz May be, but making money from the club , come on , we’ve always lived had to mouth , so if he make anything it goes Pyle have been peanuts

That doesn’t prove anything. He could have enjoyed living off the club (and Blitz’s money)*. 

 

*Allegedly. 

Living off the club ... (really ! OAFC  is not exactly a cash cow), He’d have made more money sat outside Tesco with a dog and a squashed McDonald’s cup !

Does Oldham council want to buy the club?

Oldham council has already screws the club over once, when it failed to build sports park 2000 (on the site of the old westwood running track (now B&Q))
