Patient? For What? Hes going to turn this round is he.

 

"But we've no alternative" Yes we do tge FLG are waiting in the wings they won't be white knights in shining armour but I would rather take my chances with them.

 

As for a protest or a boycott We never actually protested against Corney and his mates perhaps had we done he might have gone earlier and sold us onto someone.

 

The only time we properly protested against anything was when the council rejected the planning permission for the Oldham Arena. That decision because we all came together got overturned. Alright that didn't get built but it was fans pressure that got the planning permission its just that Blitz, Corney and Gazal fucked it up. If we hadn't rallied together in 2003 the club would have died. How many games has our 12th man won us particularly away from home? We have more influence and power than we give ourselves credit for sometimes. If we come together and genuinely apply pressure we might get him out the club before he completely destroys it. He clearly has no money and what money we have we will be out of very soon Fan pressure might be thing that forces him out sooner rather than later.

 

The stakes couldn't be any higher right now. Our status as a football league club for over 120 years is under threat and with it the very future of the football club.

 

He's very unlikely to turn this around. We have no alternative at the moment because FLG haven't published their plans which is I've said we need to be patient.

Protest if you must but what are you going to protest about that AL is going to listen to? He already knows the fans aren't happy and he's still going down his path. It'll be better to wait until we actually have a plan in place and someone to back. At this moment in time we don't but if FLG have their act together we will.

I think we need to be patient with what is happening at the club.

AL is running the club his way and at the moment there no alternative. We've asked for a fans meeting after what happened Post Scholes, we were told to postpone the meeting until the summer. Summer is over and we're now into the new season. No meeting is on the agenda and I doubt one will happen. He is dragging his feet over club accounts and is unwilling to talk to the FLG regarding the North Stand (will be a nightmare in there for a night game if there's no lighting for the kiosk area)

Until an alternative to AL forms itself properly there's not much we can do. AL promises one thing and then does another, he's unlikely to change his approach on a protest, he doesn't care.

i also spoke to Pat at OAFC earlier around 5:15 pm.

So you've only just been informed about what's been going on?

I blame Scholes for my late season slump. No excuses this term, going up as Champions.

Having that mini revival after Scholes left really screwed up what should have been a huge push to get rid of the clowns, lost any momentum with the tiny chance we had of reaching the playoffs. will be interesting to see what happens with the lickspittles if we start badly

It'll be the fans fault for not buying Season Tickets and not supporting the club, it'll be FLG's fault because they caused the Joe Royle Stand to be closed, It'll be Corney and Blitz fault because they left the club in a state. Abdallah has done nothing wrong.

It's sickening to see them all pat each other on the back and pretending the rubbish they come out with is somehow fact.

Given yesterday's events are the Trust still having the AGM at the OEC? Can't imagine our new fans rep lasting too long on the board with the Lemsagam's if they do that... 

Can Lemgasam get rid of the Trust's position on the board?

I don't think this has gone very well for AL today. The club is probably more divided than it's ever been, maybe this is what he wants?

It's ridiculous to come out with a statement like that, vague and with no facts, hoping people will buy your opinion instead. Instead you've not even got into a meeting with them to discuss the deal despite repeated attempts to do so from FLG.

Surely this is something that needs to be rectified in the future if we want to sell Season Tickets on finance next year.

Can we find out what the club intends to do about it?

Lol when he suggested going up would be a bad thing. Man doesn't know fuck all about being a fan and what a fan looks for considering he was the fans rep at one point.

 

Shame but I can see Barry Jnr doing the same now he has got his trust seat. Starting to creep in with his social media comments. Maybe it is not possible to be a true fans rep and be on the board. The free tickets and pies are a stronger habit to kick than spice it seems.

 

To be fair I believe he's bought a Season Ticket, maybe it's just the free pies then.

Barry told me - when he was still Chairman of the Supporters Trust - that he knew signing Evans would result in quite a few long standing fans not going, but he thought it was worth it. That would be enough for me.

 

I remember this.

Spent all season moaning that fans weren't coming to games and then was prepared to see more leave just to sign Evans.

Strange logic.

You are entitled to think anything you like. I dont want to reveal too much as it will all be out in the public domain soon enough

You know fuck all. Jog on,

It's been 29 days since Wild and nearly 3 months since Scholes resigned. We have a squad of 11? professionals. What is the hold up? Why are we still waiting to make an appointment?

AL could have got this sorted quicker. Interviewed the candidates and made a decision. It doesn't take a month to decide on the right person especially when we haven't really had a permanent manager since Scholes left, what has the planning been since then?

Yet again we are delaying appointing a manager. Everyone else in the top 4 leagues apart from Swansea who recently lost their manager to another club and Middlesbrough have managers in place are all probably sorting themselves out for next season while it seems we are doing nothing at all.

Why do we need someone in before players are even back fir pre season ? 

So they can help bring players in. I know AL and ML will be bringing the majority in from their vast scouting network but I think the manager should be in as well as they'll know how they want to play.

Frankie Bunn also set out for a draw at sides anyone with aspirations of going up should be beating. 

 

He beat 2 non-league sides to get to the third round. He nearly failed to get to the 2nd round. OK their goal shouldn't have been given, but even so we were poor for 80+ minutes. 

 

We might have been on the verge of the playoffs under Bunn, but I doubt we'd have gotten there. We were on the verge of the playoffs under Wild too, even after Scholes had failed. 

 

One of the reasons Scholes took so long was to do with the EFL and their decision making process. There was no plan for anyone of the "'Class' of 92" to go into management given their role at Salford. That's not AL's fault.

 

The issue and potential ban from football for Scholes for his betting, would have been an issue if he was still our manager. Again not AL's fault and actually given the talk about Scholes breeching his contract I think AL might have a case considering the timings. 

 

AL has made some strange decisions, but not appointing a new head coach before the season has fully finished is not one of them. 

I think you missed my point. I was saying should a manager with a similar record to Frankie next season be sacked considering AL has given 3 seasons to get up from this league. I'm saying it would a bit knee-jerk if we aren't expecting promotion that season.

Scholes said he left because of interference amongst other things. If he has been libellous then AL should sue him.

After that I think AL should have spoken to Wild earlier and find out his intentions and not leave it until the end of the season. If Wild didn't want the job we could have been looking for his replacement. Even now it's taken nearly 3 weeks and we don't appear to be any closer to knowing who the new person will. You might disagree but I think this should have been sorted out by now.

I take it AL is going to give the next manager/head coach time to get things right on the pitch seeing as he's given the club 3 years to achieve promotion?

Frankie Bunn had us in the FA Cup 3rd Round against Fulham and on the verge of the play off spots just a week before he was sacked. Given that the target is 3 seasons to achieve promotion should a manager be sacked for a similar performance next season?

AL has had since Boxing Day to appoint a replacement. The Scholes saga dragged on far too long and ended far too quickly. After Scholes left efforts should have been made to find his replacement so we could go into Post Season with someone in charge, be it Wild or someone else.

It's been nearly 3 weeks since Wild left. All we've had so far is a commitment that someone will be found. Not that an appointment is imminent which after 3 weeks I feel we should be in a position to announce who the new person is.

Who won what?
