whittles left foot

Not to excuse today's behaviour but do you not think there is a reason club officials generally do not sit among fans and today is a perfect illustration.

Note the Chesterfield chairman was sat in the usual corporate style box area.

He's overstepped the mark on spending and it hasn't been balanced has it?

Not even using the player's he's brought in, so why sign more, so they can end up the same?

Why do you think he has overstepped on spending when you have no idea of any of the budgets of any of the departments?

How many managers over the many years both of us have watched Latics have had more players than positions?

Really you seem to have appointed yourself as financial manager of OAFC despite knowing tap all about how a club is run.

We’ve never been lower have we?

17th in the 5th division is hopefully as low as it will get!!

If you want to take a literal meaning then maybe not-I thought we may have actually been  next to bottom briefly last season-but that was not really my point. This club very very nearly disappeared just over a year ago and I would put to you that it is in a much better place now whatever its lge position.

So it's lowest point-No.

I mean it's a fair comment and you're right.

 

But I don't think you need to be an astute businessmen to work out that we're paying wages that are high for this division and, football being what it is, because of that we should be challenging at the top.  If we're not, then something's not right and his money isn't being used effectively...

Fair comment. I have no idea how much money is being spent at this club now-but you are making the usual football supporters mistake that money spent equals success.

You most certainly don't join it to lose it either,

There comes a time when any club needs to atleast break even and become self supporting, you can guess the rest.

 

 

For somebody who has posted how he deals in stocks and shares you show remarkable little knowledge about how football clubs are run.

But just the 3 assists. What a bizarre criticism.

There is nothing bizarre about it-my comment was he never looked like scoring on Saturday despite the goals flying in and he never looked like scoring on Tuesday.

No boo boy here just passing comments after you slagging off a player who can actually find the net whilst bigging up a player who cannot.

Well, they too must also decide whether their investment is safe or not?

If the manager was a stock in my share portfolio, I'd of sold out last year and cut my losses

That's me talking, not a big business man who should know better

So I may be presuming here but our new owner has considerable more money than you by using his business acumen YET you think he is making the wrong decisions based upon a few football results.

Nuttall who set up 3 on Saturday you mean?

Yep-that's the one-the one with no goals for against his name.

Several who would have seemed out of reach not long ago  will be tempted by the Oldham job if it comes up. It will be a great opportunity for someone and there's no better time to take over at a club than when it is at its lowest point.

You think this is the club at its lowest point?

Really?

Tollitt is dreadful, really hoped we'd seen the last of him last season. Just an absolute nothing player.

Yet he scored a cracker against Aldershot.

Saturday you were raving about Nuttall who never looked like scoring against Aldershot despite the score and he was hopeless tonight.

Goals win games.

Well if he stays he will be in The Champions Lge before any other current ex-Latics player.

I might have missed something, but where has Norwood said he wants to leave. 

Well I can save you 4 pages of posts-he hasn't.

One day refs will wear body censors which will automatically trigger a yellow or red card of players within a yard of them and foul language picked up. 

This card results will be flashed on to a big screen.

Only joking...it couldn't happen could it?

 

They will flash them around the ground on those electric thingy boards that you like sooo much.

You can forget the bad language cards though-that is never gonna happen.

McLaughlin signed for St Patrick’s Athletic.

Is that a Boys Brigade team?

I do not want any Yank or other plastic celeb anywhere near our club thank you very much!

 

What I want is a genuine local family with a bit of money (but not so much that they don’t want to run the club sensibly) and who have the community and fans best interests at heart………oh wait Happy Birthday Frank!

I am sure Wrexham fans would disagree with your opinion. Owners seem to be doing plenty in the community.

I am sure Southend fans would welcome any investment. Plus plenty of other clubs-Fleetwood perhaps?

I bet 18 months ago you would have welcomed any prospect of investment in our club from anybody.

Dallas can gtf if he is a mercenary. I honestly don't know if he is decent or not, I remember Bradford had a player called Dallas a few years back. 

I really don't get comments like this.

He is only doing what is best for himself and family-just like you, me and everybody else would do.

Only in very rare cases do players have some 'connection' with a club and want to play for that club for other than financial reasons be it length of contract or £sd.

Conor Wilkinson to Motherwell from Walsall.

And he is replaced by the first female manager of a professional club-good on her and best wishes.

That reminds me re: Peter Clarke - Unsworth’’s media line was “I’ll let Peter tell you all what his future plans are, it’s not my place to” but then was anything ever said by Clarke? Thought he’d go into coaching, would’ve liked that to start with us at some level.

Isn't he linked with PFA employment?

2 minutes ago, Sloshed Joe said:

Yes it seems like the agent is the slippery type to keep trying it on until the very last second. Until something is signed with a club, I wouldn’t trust any hearsay. Sounds like they’d think nothing of turning up for talks and a medical at one club and then appear at a different club the next morning, squeezing every penny out of all the bidders to get the best deal.

Surely this is exactly what you would want your agent to do? He is working for the best interests of his client not a football club.
