Matt Smith: 'I guess Liam, as much as we're delighted to have your company, slightly bittersweet for you. I imagine you'd rather be out there with your boots on!' Liam Hogan: 'It's massively painful, It's still now heightened in and around the club and in the dressing room' 'We were in there and we let it slide, by quite a lot' 'For us now there will be a lot of repairs over the summer so that going forward we can go for promotion' 'We're looking and thinking that there shouldn't have been 7 better sides than us this season - but that wasn't the case and we will now look for the answers' 'It's important to bridge the gap between the players and supporters to make sure that we can achieve promotion' 'We need to be better and take a look at ourselves ahead of the summer' This is a v rough transcript.

It's all going a bit North Korea again at BP.

Well. Looks like no one is having a deal renewed!

I really don’t think McGahey is as bad as people say. Think this another classic case of Latics fans picking a player to direct their anger toward.

Nuttall 3,000 a week and has a yearly increase bolted in. Other duds have increases bolted into their deals as well. It’s one of the main reasons MM has been so down.

A depressing listen. This club is finished.

MM resignation watch.

One win in THIRTEEN in the fifth tier. One of the most expensive National League teams, ever. It’s a sackable offence and he should go. I knew something was very wrong after that Kidderminster performance hence why I started this thread. Sorry Micky, but your time is up.

Go part time and put a 4G pitch in for the local community. We are never achieving anything, ever.

Right. Stop it. It’s clear the supposed negative noises in away end today have riled you up but this is a fan base that has nothing but pain for many, many years. There are players out there wearing our colours and on more money than most were on when we were in the 3rd tier. We brought in a manager to get us into the play offs and he’s not just missed that objective - he has categorically FAILED. What is there to suggest that Mellon will now be able to get these players back on his side this summer? A lot of them are sticking around… I’m sorry, but deep rooted change is needed.

Because a lot of the players will still be here next season + some those staying have percentage increases bolted in. It’s no wonder he’s depressed. We have absolutely fucked ourselves. We’re not leaving this division for at least another 4/5 seasons.

Couldn’t even be arsed following along with the updates today. He should go.

It's totally and utterly embarrassing. Shambles from board level to the playing staff. Everyone involved needs to take a long hard look at themselves. The fact that numerous bin man teams are comfortably above us genuinely makes me feel unwell with the amount of cash we've thrown at these rank losers. What's the solution? I have no idea, but I fear we will be at this level for many years and could become quickly comfortable as a non-league outfit.

Just had a scroll through Twitter. There are genuinely individuals of apparent sound mind wanting James Norwood gone. Give the moody fucker some service and he’d have us in the top 3 alone. For some reason Mellon and Brabin have decided that thug ball was the way to in order to secure the play-offs. It’s failed spectacularly. Change the style for next season and we will see huge results with Norwood. With Grigg gone, there is no one near his quality in the division. I know there is a strange obsession applied by some of the fans when someone donning blue and white colours runs around a bit but c’mon… If we’re not challenging for the top 3 next season I am genuinely going to stop watching Oldham and get into crown green bowls or something. It’s too fckn depressing. To have the best chance of making that top 3, why the on earth wouldn’t you want to have someone of Norwood’s quality? To be honest, with his reported salary, will he get much better elsewhere?

1 win in 11.

It's not been too bad but plenty of work to be done in the summer.

Ergh.

After watching that Mellon presser I have now switched to an away win.

Am now unsure on the Mellon part, though.

Home win.

I mean it's not going to happen - but if we win all 4 then we would probs go on to win the whole thing. Momentum n that.

McGahey Norwood Gardner Nuttall Lundstram… have been out together today. If they’re pissed up while the play offs are still mathematically possible then surely they should be disciplined. I know Nuttall is at Cheltenham atm but fine him anyway.
