He did, and was absolute garbage. Jan 13 to Apr 13. He played in 7 league games 3 of them off the bench and scored 1 goal.

If he did challenge AL he would be out the door like everyone else who upsets him. Perhaps BO is trying to gently persuade AL to change his attitude, without confronting him. I admit it hasn't worked very well so far, if that is what he is doing, but we don't know what goes on behind the scenes. I'm not trying to stick up for BO here, just making a comment.

I was told last week that the stand will be open, but it was not known then if the boxes and hospitality would be.

I didn't go, so can't really comment on how Maouche played, but I'm convinced he's captain because he can communicate well with both the French and English speaking players. This therefore could be a case for him being club captain, but the captain on the field should definitely be Wheater.

It has never felt the same to me since we were moved out of the Chaddy.

Can't blame him really after the pre-season we've had. The stats however are awful:- Home TeamForest GreenAway TeamOldham Possession Home65% Away35% Shots Home10 Away6 Shots on Target Home3 Away0 Corners Home3 Away0

He did the same last season. Played like a sweeper, but we didn't catch him out then.

Looks' like 5-4-1 to me

I'll be controversial. FGR 0-1 Latics HT 0-0 Wheater 2574

Mills can get forward, but Iacovetti? Should be Nepo. instead.

Probably would have been if we had played slightly better in the friendly's and won a couple. Wheater would not likely have been signed.

We can have as many loans as we like can't we, but only 5 in the match day squad?

That's more like it. Now bring in the big guns up front.

Please note. This was from the meeting:- It came to light that the seats in the stand are available to be used by the club, providing the club meet fire safety regulations known as the ‘Green Guide’. The seats in the stand are part of the club’s leasehold on the stadium and are not part of the Service Level Agreement (SLA). The SLA allows for use of the stand’s hospitality facilities, which is separate from the rent the club pays for use of the stadium and covers the cost of food and other amenities provided on matchday by the OEC

At the FLG meeting it was stated that the fire safety certificate has not yet been received for the seating area, and that is the responsibility of the club.

So he would be happy paying rent for the AJ Bell, but not for Boundary Park, because the FLG have upset him. Beggars belief. He might get 299 watching their, costing him more money. What an imbecile he is.

No doubt Real Madrid want to recoup the £85m they paid for Bale, so I'm not surprised Levy would say no. On top of that Bale would want at least to match the ridiculous £650k pw wage he currently gets. Got to feel sorry for Bale. The poor soul had to run back to Madrid from the pre season game n Munich because he was in the wrong frame of mind to play, having missed out on a £1m pw 3 year contract in China. Unfortunately Real Madrid kyboshed it when they discovered the Chinese club weren't going to pay a transfer fee. The Chinese club then filled their quota by signing someone else.

I'm in. I'll give it another go as I nearly got promoted (well beaten in the play-off final ) last season, and did much better than expected in the cup. It's going to be harder this season I think.

Another lie told by AL He states the following in his statement on the club's website- Simply put, due to unreasonable commercial terms, it is not financially viable or possible for the Club to utilise the North Stand for the upcoming friendly matches without suffering financial loss. Yet the real truth is this from the FLG - Whitehead and Brooke opened the floor up to questions from an audience that looked excited, if a little sceptical, about the plans they had just seen. One of the key concerns of the fans present was around the use of the North Stand for the upcoming season. It came to light that the seats in the stand are available to be used by the club, providing the club meet fire safety regulations known as the ‘Green Guide’. The seats in the stand are part of the club’s leasehold on the stadium and are not part of the Service Level Agreement (SLA). The SLA allows for use of the stand’s hospitality facilities, which is separate from the rent the club pays for use of the stadium and covers the cost of food and other amenities provided on matchday by the OEC. If the club chooses not to use the OEC, there will be no financial impact on the FLG, as the club collects matchday revenue and the OEC makes no profit from the SLA.

Maybe so, but we can't overlook the fact that the coach/manager has little say in who gets signed and who plays.

Mills was doing a lot of shouting and pointing in the Rochdale game, (didn't go this week) I've no idea if it was constructive or not.

I think the FLG stated that they could generate that for the club. However he will turn it down if he is still here by the time it becomes available because he won't have any say in how it is spent. There is no way that I would want the FLG to prop AL up. The squad he and his brother have assembled is so light weight and will really struggle, especially when they get the fans on their backs. I just hope that when this happens AL decides to pack his bags and go, hopefully not leaving a mountain of debt behind him on purpose. Who will bail us out then I don't know. Could well be another Bury.

There is no future with AL/ML. The FLG may not have enough to run the club as well. The club that AL owns is worth nothing. £1 would be the maximum I'd pay.

By this stage of pre-season, 7 days to kick off, our coach should know and start his best team.

Baxter is blaming 'politics' at Oldham for not getting enough game time. Ring a bell? I wonder who said he couldn't play.
