I doubt Leeds have a leg to stand on. a) Leeds ask to speak to Grayson, Blackpool refuse Grayson resigns, Blackpool refuse to accept it. c) Grayson sins for Leeds despite the fact that his contract is still running at Blackpool. Isn't it a breach of league rules to poach a manager? If so, make the fine as big as possible and Blackpool and sue them both for millions. No doubt he will now be able to put a much bigger bid in for Tayl;or, but would Taylor go to Leeds?

I don't tink there is a problem with him settling in. When Hazel was being interviewed he was messing around off camera trying to put him off. Eardley also mentioned how well he played on Saturday and only briefly mentioned Hughes. I think therefore from these two interviewa that Byfield is already a popular lad in the dressing room.

Thanks everyone.

Just bought a new PC. Can anyone tell me if Latics World works with Windows Vista. The web site only goes up to XP and I'm guessing that it hasn't been updated .

Exactly. At £20 per game we are losing money and need 8000 to break even. Should the price therefore go up so that the break even price is at 5000?

How do we know that Shez hasn't got plans if he loses any of these players? He's not likely to broadcast the fact is he. He has to behave to the fans that he is not going to lose anyone, therefore he doesn't need replacements. Byfield may be one of them.

Kalala, Thompson and Davies leave, and we can afford his wages. Would Donny want a fee for someone they want to unload?

Buses to all parts of Oldham used to drop supporters off at the ground and pick them up again after the match. That's when the buses were controlled by Oldham Council. The number of people using them would have more than paid for them. They wouldn't be assumed profitable by Firstbus, so I guess the club would have to pay these days. A couple of buses to the town centre should be profitable judging by the number of fans who get on the 409 after the match. But it depends how much a bus company wouild want to hire them.

4-5-1 or 4-3-3 both rubbish systems IMO. Always one person up on their own the two wide players are no use with no-one to cross to. 3-5-2 is much better.

I think we should have Lee on the bench. If the oppostion come to pack midfield and get everyone behind the ball hoping for a breakaway goal, we need another creative player on the pitch. Bring on Lee and change to 3 5 2. Maher is not the answer because he's defensive midfield and cover for Allott.

Stam was good enough last season. We looked very solid when he stayed fit. Unfortunately he will need match practice to get him up to speed.

If we draw one of these clubs, or a League 2 side I hope Shez doesn't decide to rest anyone. We need to play any team at full strength.

The difference between the top of the Championship and the top of League One is imense, which is probably why they don't rate him. Imo for us to get promoted to the Championship is the equivalent of us getting promoted to the top division in 1991.

The Mirror has probably picked this up from your forum.

If we get promoted, we may be in a position to sign him permanently if he can be persuaded to leave Wolves. Shez says that he has been watching this lad for years, I wonder why he hasn't tried to sign him before. We have needed a left back for two years.

One of the best footballing sides to come to BP in the last few years was Torquay. They played us off the park, but look where they are now.

Not a bad idea imo. Leicester have obviously watched us. and it would certainly throw their plans out of the window. They may have two good wingers, but if we can attack them down the flanks the threat from them will be reduced. On the other hand Byrne may not be good enough at left back. Lomax is quicker, but not great at defending.

5750, around 400 from hereford.

Yes they do, but who will get the blame for Friday? I'm in no doubt that it will be Stockport for not stopping away fans getting into home areas, not the police who are always not guilty.

Unfortunately I think we'll be back to 5500 against Hereford. They will only bring 2/300, and after Sat. the floaters won't bother again until Leicester.

The pillars never block my view of the goals.

Agree. I'm surprised that Davies wasn't in the starting line up on Saturday after his hat trick in the reserves. I was even more surprised when Shez brought O'Grady on instead of Davies. O'Gradys ball control is poor, but he does get stuck in, whereas Davies would have brought on much needed pace.

The so called housing experts expect house prices to continue falling until 2010/11 The building companies which are left then, may decide to start buying land again, but this will only be costing them around 50% of what it would have cost them last summer. How long it will take to get to the levels needed to build the new stand is anyones guess. At the same time construction costs are rising, therefore the gap is getting bigger between the sale price of the land and constructing a new stand. I would think TTA may have to find another solution, if the stand is to be built in the next 10 years. Hopefully TTA will not be hit too hard by the recession, and can continue to fund us.

Unfortunately I guess that the seats have been allocated, and the turnstiles which they are to use will be on the ticket. Changing now will cause confusion, and a possibility of fans being in the wrong section. The police will never allow it to be changed now.

They've already lost.
