Hamer again. Turning into a regular goalscorer 

Dino could obviously see a decent prospect and the rest is history as they say

I love being 17th in league two. Having no hope of ever doing anything means you’re never disappointed. Hopefully we’ll just keep existing for many years to come.

Really poor. Roll on 9th May. Sick of most of the players. Sick of the manager. Sick of the owner. Sick of the CEO. Sick of the Sporting Director. Sick of Blitz. Sick of people thinking it is acceptable to be 17th in League Two because we score a few goals...

Wanted to give you an upvote and a thanks because that's where I'm at right now, collectively they're no representation of Oldham people, we have more fight in us.

Morecambe have always punched above their weight but it appears they've been taking lessons off tyson fury and at 4-1 down we were spark out

Good luck to them but we were shite to be in the situation we were, I wouldn't care if we forfeit the remaining games especially when you can't be arsed.

Bloody embarrassing 

Switched off after the forth goal went in, no point playing against anybody, especially a side with ambitions of going up and being so damned lethargic 

Waste of coach fuel

Why not interested? It’s our team on a mini run of two victories - can they make it three on the bounce and turn over the mighty Morecambe? Pointless? I hope not...I want all three

Thing is, they're going for automatic promotion and we've really nothing to play for but pride, what could go wrong?

It’s a toss up between tommorrow’s game and the funeral for pure excitement value. 

If it's not your own you may aswell watch it 

Same 11 and continue where we left off, we have a good record here

If we get at em early doors, we have a decent chance, can't sit back or we'll get rolled,

Although, we seem to do well against the better footballing sides

8Even if Blitz and Abdullah had a spectacular change of heart and handed over the club the land and wrote of the directors loans to competent owners even then I don't think Oldham Athletic would be profitable.

 

Having said their can be only so long that Blitz and Abdullah want to keep on doing this. Blitz has alot of land with a football club in the middle of it. His tenant is volatile and if he kicks him out then not only does he get alot of bad publicity. Their won't be another team who will play at Boundary Park so he will be left with the only option but to bulldoze it and turn it into houses. Given the choice of that which will make him a profit but will give him alot of hassle and just selling the land and reinvesting it where he could probably make alot more for considerably less hassle then you would assume he is a relatively willing seller of the land.

 

In the meantime Abdullah Lemsagam continues to do the equivalent of punching every Oldham Athletic fan and himself in the face by running Oldham Athletic into the ground causing him alot of hassle and costing him alot of money with no sign whatsoever that it is likely to turnround. He must come to some realisation at some point that the longer he is here the worse it is going to get for him so he will have to cut his losses. If it goes under then both him and Blitz will lose alot of money as Blitz has £6million of directors loans sat on the balance sheet and Abdullah probably has a figure which is catching up.

 

At some point the reality is going to bite for both of them and they will have to compromise whether they like it or not. This won't last forever it can't do.

It's been the plan all along, bulldozing the club into oblivion and building on clayton playing fields, Hotel at one time wasn't it?

Enjoy it while it lasts and that goes for everything in life

The irony is that fans are demonstrably prepared to pay more than something is worth because they invest more than money.

That might be true of us older generation who have much more disposable incomes and have seen 40 odd years worth but just how many younger fans will follow in our footsteps, with the same passion and love for the club in order to generate future income needed to keep the club alive?

If the time comes to contribute to a scheme or an actual share in the club, I won't be found wanting, it goes without saying.

The only reason they didn't go the way of Bury and Macclesfield is their connections to the FA

 

Most other clubs who try their recipe for success will end up defunct

 

You have to invest some money to get success, and we have historically spent too little, but there are limits.  Bolton spend other people's money way beyond their size or stature.  

 

Do you really think Bury fans think that last promotion out of League Two was worth extinction?  That's not ambition, it's suicidal

Comparing minnows with a pike

Shame Salford don't spend all their money the same way, truth is they still won't ever be a 'Bolton'

They'll always be a Fylde.

.... which is exactly what they were telling themselves for the last twenty years whilst running up £173m of debt.

 

They are doing exactly the same again now that debt was written off (partially footed by the taxpayer).

 

They are not as big as their spending, and haven't been for years.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All I can say to that one is, I wish we'd of even had the opportunity but I guess that comes down to size and stature plus the ambition to do it

but they need to... they have £3.25million to pay by the Summer to avoid starting next season on -15.  If they are still in league 2 then they will panic. 

They're a big enough club, smart ground and they'll be plenty of takers if the need arises

Championship within two seasons no problem at all.

That’s all I’m saying.  We’ll see how good he is soon enough. Well also see how patient the owners, who  need to start generating serious income sharpish, are too. 
 

 

 Nobody's doing that for a good while, we all have to accept that one but I don't see Bolton going bust before we do

“A master stroke.”

 

.....called cash. 

 

It'll cost em a whole lot more if they don't go up and recoup the outlay

Evatt has already proved himself to be an excellent manager at the previous level and this, very soon he'll get to try League one.

The board at Bolton could have make the very same mistakes made here but they didn't and you can throw as much cash at that as you so wish.

1 hour ago, Dave_Og said:

They'll probably be happy with going up and I'd be willing to bet that happens. It's almost as if they stuck with a manager in circumstances where some clubs would have fired him. 

Evatt is continuing where he left off at Barrow but with a far better squad of player's, sticking by him when their fans were baying for his blood was a masterstroke.

You don't become bad overnight and they knew it.
