  1. Didn't Shez say he was a second/third choice keeper when we signed him? Was a lot better than what we had last season. Was a decent keeper for us, important in the away game at Rochdale. The main reason we went down was because we couldn't win a game in how many at the end of the season, don't believe Johny cost us in those games, the outfield players couldn't deliver when it mattered most. Think he made a number of assists as well, not bad for a keeper.

     

    If he was on 4k a week here then it's far too much for us to be paying out and I'm sure he'll have gone so the wages can be better spent elsewhere.

  2. What does Mike Keegan, a fan of OAFC get out of printing lies about the club he supports?

     

    I know there are a lot of fans that like to make rubbish up about players joining or that they've seen nearby but a fan to put out such a negative article out about the club he supports. You just wouldn't do it if it wasn't true surely. Why would you want to potentially damage the club further?

  3. So after today's events do we think the club are becoming more stable after last seasons problems or is Mike Keegan's article closer to the truth? I don't know what to believe anymore but there's no smoke without fire. Strange goings on.

     

    Would be nice if someone could confirm the things mentioned are correct or false? The late payment of players and staff, the problems with the pitch management company etc. Would be nice if the Trust could give us more clarity that things are going well. Surely they weren't expecting this to happen.

    The guys twitter page doesn't even say he plays for oldham. It says something like  'footballer, Northern Ireland, and has a pic of him in NI shirt. 

     

    He, along with most players we have had over the last ten years, doesn't have one bit of pride in playing for oafc. 

     

    Problem is these players are not bad but the club is rotton to the core and has some deep rooted problems which are engrained in its culture. A grave yard where success is the exception, where few achieve anything, where the environment is toxic, where there is no winning mentality and hasn't been for 12 years! This is deep set. You can't change that very easily. 

     

    It's reputation is in tatters as a result. If I were a player or a manager I wouldn't touch the club with a barge pole. 

     

    One man to blame for that 

     

    There have been a number of players we have failed to look after as well. George Green for example very early into his contract left when he seemed to be really struggling. Don't think the club helped him? Jason Jarrett was claimed to be having problems around the same time he was with us as well. There's no real togetherness at the club for anyone to want to stay. Hopefully new ownership will start to change that.

    I’m all for that but it would be nice to have the odd game against a premier league side. What was the last interesting pre season friendly we had? Newcastle about 5 years ago?

    Home games haven't been announced yet.
