Do you really believe that this guy has the resources to do all of above for a full season 

All I've heard is tales of shambles at BP today, selling cans off a table, come on ...

The football club needs money coming from sponsorship,  Advertising, transfer fees and more importantly through the turnstiles  and its here are the most important to the club.. so lets say all those who havent bought seasons tickets stopped going the club would have major problems.. so boycotting is never a positive forward step.

Good man

That's the way

Smoke them out

its all well and good witholding your money from the club but its our money the club needs to keep the lights switched on and players wages to be paid

They don't even answer letters, especially incredibly important ones, so what chance have you of getting Clowns Inc to a meeting with fans? 

its a sad state of affairs.. i remember when fans wanted Ian Stott out , plenty of protesting in the ground and and then it was taken to the streets outside.. But Stott didn't leave for a good while after. Sadly unless someone comes in and offers to buy out  Abdallah we are stuck with him for a while

That’s the worst suggestion I’ve ever heard. 

what gettng the owners or Club representative to the meeting? .. 

This is shocking..Sadly the replacement toilets and repairs will have to come out of the transfer budget

could do with trying to get the owners this meeting otherwise it will be nothing more than a meeting between fans in which nothing more will progress..1 or 2 might boycott which does nothing than hurt the finances of the club,so try to get the owners at the meeting

Perfect use of this comp. 19-year-old homegrown captain. Game time for players who won't be getting much. 3 points in a potential money earning tournament. One more win from the remaining two games should see us through.

 

Iacovitti getting a game is probably bad news for him, funnily. I expect, barring any superb performances this evening, the plan was for nearly everyone who played tonight to miss out on Saturday,. Except Ash Smith-Brown, who LB will have wanted to see in action, and probs Sylla. I think Mills will revert to right back as we hopefully go more attacking against Crewe.

Me personally i would play Stott ar CB with Wheater...I think he could develop into a decent CB playing alongside experience..

He could have mates playing for Liverpool. 

he could.. We live in hope that a deal has been done.. 

Just now, Ritchierich said:

The various changes and players that have come in have just confirmed what we all know....this is a fair sized squad of absolutely bang average players 

 

I don’t think I’ve ever felt less connected to a Latics team and struggling to care

 

its also really galling listening to the LFC commentary going on about how useful it is for their players to be playing proper league sides and how it’’ll help them make the step up to the First team......so kind of those Premier League cu**s to throw us a few scraps from their table

Callum Lang is in the George Hill stand.. One hopes that hes signing with us in time for saturday

If we don't strengthen, it will continue, that defence will serve us well but they will need to with midfield not doing their holding job which always puts the back four under pressure.

 

We need a striker who knows what hes doing aswell as a midfielder. quickly.

 

I might be being a little harsh here but we also need a coach who can motivate with force of personality which filters through your squad. This current coach strikes me as vanilla with not much of a leader.

 

Apart from Wheater and Mills, the recruitment has been badly lacking with a lot of quantity and very little quality.

 

One competitive game in and we shouldn't panic but on the back of a terrible pre season I'm worried.

 

 

One game in 40+ more games to go. granted i didnt go yesterday way to early to be writing us off.. we have some decent players in our squad,  Banide is right he hasnt had long to work with many of them lets see how we fair at the end of august personally i think we will pick up 7 points in August..yes we do need an established forward, personally i would banish Vera to the Dog and Duck sunday league team, but Banide must see sonething in him to keep picking him or its because hes short of muscle up front..And yes i would make Wheater captain , why he isnt is anyones guess but maouche doesnt come across as captain material again Banide must have his reasons

To early to write us , once we get our first win against Crewe things will look different  hope its not papering over cracks though

I've been on courses that advise you to say shit like that to people.

 

Would I be right in saying you don't die inside the same as I do when you go on them?

No its a fact, thats what i do.. there is alot of crap spouted on certain training / motivational courses. I just get on with what im good at, as we all have bills to pay stomachs to fees and Latics games to pay for....

Has anyone heard anything about the board meeting Darren attended? He posted a pic of all the things he wanted to discuss (as well as a couple of "sensitive" email addresses) and now his twitter account has been deleted. Fired? Knows something he doesn't want to be quizzed about? Dead? 

ive seen it..naughty of him. gross misconduct i reckon.. i spoke to him 3 weeks ago about any vacant  roles within the club.. gutted .. 

its not all negative at boundary park... good business dealings with Abdullah preseason

.got a decent fee for edmondson, let clarke and baxter go who would have been on decent money.. brings in players on frees . and then brings in an experienced championship center back.. fantastic news... 

he did yes..

You'd start Sefil?

You'd have Fage CM even though he played RB/RM (and impressed) against Halifax?

i agree , fage 2nd half attacking down the right . played well against Halifax, will be hard to defend agsinst.. start with wilson and Desire up front go 442.. 

Gutted cant get down to FGR loved to have been there , feel we can come home with 3 points on Sat.. looking forward to the games we have in august as they are easily winnable for us.. irs not about the pre season games now its about what we do at 3pm onwards  on Saturday 

Typical of us to go to FGR and bring back 3 points and get the season up and running
