Watched my first game in years today and it was painful.  We have nothing in any position.  Possibly the worse game I have watched the latics play.  Something is going to have to change quickly or we will be down before Christmas.  

That defence is truly the worse I think I have ever seen play in the professional leagues.

Neither of the two options are realistic any time in the next 10 years so the options are irrelevant as presented...

But I have been trying to push the idea for the last 15 years that the trust should be stock piling cash year on year to put itself in the sort of position to move in as a owner of last resort if the club should ever find itself in a post Chris Moores situation or to be in a position to apply force on removing future owners who have not got the clubs best interest at heart.

That is whole point of a trust in my eyes...

Its never too late to start doing the right thing...

Alas, the woodworm is here right on cue...

Yeah I am the problem - and not 15 years of inaction / abuse towards the ones calling for change / action / and a different approach.. to the point you drove so many away....  Yeah I am the wormwood....  I wonder if you lot will ever learn the error of your ways...  and I am here every day of the week...

This guy needs removing - to have a gift like Scholes wanting to take on a club in our position and blowing it inside of a month...  I am not even sure Corney and his gang would of even been able to mess this up quite like he has done....

I still think the trust needs to be stock piling funds instead of handing it over the business men...  if we had been doing that for 15 - 20  years would could be in a really strong place as a trust...  start now I say...   so maybe in 20 years time we can take on these people....

The door remains open, however we have concerns for several months with regards to "news" from the club.

 

We held a phone vote tonight and decided now is the time to step up. 

 

 

You are literally 10 years (probably more like 15) too late to be making a stand now  

Unknown so called ”fans group” wants to buy stadium....  reasons and intentions unknown...

Current owner of club not involved....

Trust Oldham not saying anything other than vague response basically its a secret....

Fans excited by prospect....

Have I missed anything or got anything wrong?  

I can see everything is as bat shit crazy as last time I logged in

There's some right hyperbolic drama queens on here. The first half of our season saw us sitting just outside the playoffs in mid table, we've now lost the guy who scored the goals who got us there and we haven't got in a like for like replacement. How was the second half of the season supposed to be better than the first with a strictly worse team? I expected us to lose against a good Bury side and we did. Disappointing but not the end of the world. As far as I'm concerned it's all about setting up for next season now. Let Scholes make mistakes and learn, without pressure on him and the players from us, then he can build his own team in the summer and take us on from there. 

This 

Nice story - sounds like you have never been to an away day before ...

Awesome result!  Great day for the club!

Bet you all enjoyed that

Anyone else think a tenner is very steep for a stream of one game at our level? It was only £5 a match last season for overseas viewers. Just to compare I only pay £5 a month for the BT Sport app which gives access to 5 channels and a SkySports week pass can be bought on NowTV for only £10.

 

I know it’s the EFL who set the price for this so I'm not taking a dig at Latics. 

I pay 7.99 a race to watch F1 on Sky - so 10 is a lot in comparison....   But I will pay it - its cheaper than going to the ground and more accessible with the family etc

Surely nobody who has read this thread will actually pay any money! 

I will...  Just heard about this service today!  

How much of the 10 pounds goes to the clubs ?

Will he get the resources he will require or is it just another slow death march to the same old outcome....

I would imagine so

It isn't success; it is cause for optimism.

This.  Its why many drifted away.  The idea any Oldham has ever demanded success is laughable.  You do need hope though.   TTA failed dreams resulting in no land, no money and that stand we dont own pretty much finished off any hope many had.  

You all need to hold this new owner to account and get him to say what his plans are now.   Has he said anything yet?

 Corney no he always kept us in league one. 

The new guy only took over in January...  I don't think Corney can say "he kept us in League One" given what has just happened and everything leading up to today.

The club abandoned you ? How so ? It’s still here always has been. 

The club isn't just OAFC the business - its all of us as a body.  The vile abuse I have got for the last 10+ years because I started speaking out about the board and the in action of the trust has been horrible.  Thats what I mean.  Its part of the reason I stopped throwing bad money after good.  There was too many people singing TTA praises - then corneys - and now sadly the club has no land, no money and where fucked.  

I hope this new guys has the resources to turn it around.  I really do!

Would that have brought you flocking  back or would you still have abandoned the club ? 

The club abandoned me long before I abandoned it - but to answer you question no it wouldn't of done.  But with someone like Scholes running the place - and the attraction that would of had for players - I think it would of been a different outcome and just what a club like us would of needed.

Nope, can’t use this one. We were pretty unanimous that Richie should have been offered the job after his run as caretaker. 

I wasnt....  sadly proven right again

Gutted for the club - i cant see a route back for us.  No money, no plan,  sad times

Cant believe they paased on Scholes for him - Corneys final gift

Just one of many sources of information if you are struggling with the English language.

I hope we flog the sponsorship to the next highest bidder and get some money in.  Who cares who it is sponsored by.  We need £££

Where's oafc0000

Has my reasoning gone for staying away, yes...

Would I come back anytime soon, no...

My life has changed.  Saturdays are now full with other activities.  I wouldn't really want to spend the day away from the kids. And my kids don't really have any interest in Football.
