I phoned and to be honest I changed my view 4 or 5 times before I was on. It stinks at Latics atm yeah Sheridan had to go but Moisley talks shite.

Bet you've been waiting for this. You were a massive Sheridan outer the first time he was in charge permanently. 

Actually I am a football romantic. I wanted him to succeed bit it's clear he's not the answer. You could look at a Mans ambition  in life would you take the same job 4 times?? It smacks of desperation all round from him and the club. If I was to put money in I wouldn't keep doing the same old same old that's got us nowhere. Let's just end it for all concerned and have a clean break and fresh start. Sentiment never won anything.

It wouldn't be harsh or unusual if Sheridan was gone now. 

No manager would be given the time he has and we are not improving.

Improvement is Winning games and to put it simply we are not. 

For me he's the past and we have to move on for good, we can't keep being sentimental in our failings now. It's sad but it's time.

There's a few things here looking at the facts we are bottom. Haven't won at home yet. Signed numerous players Sheridan hasn't had any influence in. Why should we prolong the inevitable?

I welcome the investment but for me Sheridan can go. Same old excuses every game we can all see we are weak at the back and the Gerrard Clarke partnership isn't working. If Sheridan had any relevance in the future of Latics we would have sorted the defence rather than reserve midfielders and wingers. 

Not arsed who believes what I am saying couldn't give a toss tbh. It's true but the issue is what are the club going to do about it. Look at them on the pitch we can't defend set pieces and with their experience it's criminal they need to speak!

They don't look at the form of Clarke when he's not playing with Gerrard and look at the interviews of Gerrard he's not a fan of Clarke and vice versa. Gerrard was the reason Clarke nearly went last year!

Don't like each other and can't play together anymore it seems. Why can't we defend set pieces and why have we stopped talking at the back?

Oops I bought a brick next to the chairman and it has 'KTF' on it does that mean its banned now?

On the official coach today and LJ just got on to thank fans for their support etc in all the years ive been goin to away games etc ive never had the manager on the coach thanking us! COME ON OLDHAM!!!

Burton port all day long.

5 of us moved in the rocky yesterday all st holders and we all enjoyed the atmosphere view facilities (once we fell through the turnstiles) we all said we hoped we could go in their with our books from now on. Great trial with fairly conclusive results. RRE it is.

Its more about how detrimental owtb forum is and has been to latics over the years. Do the positives outweigh the negatives or vice versa.

Well it goes without saying that we needed that and a slight air of belief was visibly seen creeping back into some of the fans exiting the ground over the somme (car park) back to their cars and making their way home.

But yesterday apart from having my first legal alcoholic beverage in the chaddy I did something that really shocked me to the core!

I found myself watching the Football League show and agreeing 100% with Steve Claridge!!

When it was suggested to Steve that Simon Corney would quit if we got relegated he was rightly so bemused.
He went on to say it’s easy for people to offer critique but how many people would step up to the mark and take over?

“You have got to be careful what you wish for at times".

Everyone on here has an opinion about Simon Corney but in the cold light of day and if we were to look at the books realistically The three Amigos saved us and Simon carried on throwing good money after Bad and continues to operate this club to the best of his abilities both financially and ethically.

The reason for the tone of my post is that after being shocked at myself agreeing with steve, it reminded me that I found myself sat in my seat looking at the Rocky yesterday wondering why on earth such a fuss was made and decisions reversed for what seemed to be so few fans that actually stayed in the Rocky?

Has social media, Facebook & OWTB become the scourge of the Oldham Athletic boardroom and decision making process for the greater good?

We have a Chairman that has put his all on the line for us and continues to do so when many more would have walked away and did.

He's come out and made such a sweeping statement and I can’t help but feel its partly down to the attitudes of some people on here and the tedious rigmaroles we have to go through when trying to keep the cyber fan happy!!

Personally I think we should have more dialogue with the club through the trust and feedback should be fed through that way rather than the 'fan' who may or may not attend games that make their voices heard loudest on decisions that don’t really affect them whilst sat at home on their PC's.

Thoughts Welcome....
(I appreciate the contradictions in posting on here saying this, but Barry and a meeting is nowhere to be seen....YET lol)

Admittedly I did boo at HT simply because it was painfull to watch and there was no commitment or sense of urgency whatsoever the players didn't look bothered we were two down and to them it meant nothing. I am sick to the backteeth of this support the lads brigade, the critique should now surely be aimed at the manager and players especially after taking into account our home form. Out of 21 games at home this year in all comps we have won just 7!! That's not just bad form that's support killing club going out of existence trends we have to improve at home its those fans that keep the club running! Effectively this year its like saying around 67% of the time we won't win at home, your lucky people just boo with that stat!

Couldn't agree more!!!

Mellor as left back is going to ruin his career! ! We are desperate for a LB and somebody who has an end product and can finish! Why not start with worrall today and have phily up front god knows.

Rio Ferdinand!! You heard it here first!

Cheers singe...I think?? lol Steve Evans isn't a factor in this move at all we are not the only ones who don't really like him lol I heard that he Didn't get permission to play against liverpool even though they were out of the cup! but featured in our squad?

I am not sure how long he has got left contract wise but like you i obviously prefer a two or even three year plan with core players it would be the ideal but cash dictates for us.

Danny is on the up and has attracted interest so depending on contract terms games like liverpool could be more about being able to keep players than buy.

That said we need a striker even if danny stays.

Ask barry!! Theres a few.

With interest in danny philiskirk and us obviously not in a position to turn offers down I want/expect a striker in also. We are short and the signings so far I am impressed with.

Least we will get a fee when he moves on now.

What counts as a great player for a struggling 3rd division side these days? We are in a better position with these signings and with people coming back and maybe another signing in the pipeline we have enough to push up the table.

Deyres 42 cant comment on the others but...

Worrall isn't a knee jerk signing after the home defeats he met with us in the summer! And has been a target a few times.

Their manager had no choice really! I am chuffed he finally got to latics after a few tries.
