Either way both are infinitely better than the ones we've got. I'd also say that the majority of posters on here would happily trade Cassidy, McKay & Erwin for just one of Main or Holloway

Holloway above McKay or Erwin? Pass that crack around will you.

 

Len - it's not moaning in that sense. I think, having travelled to Grimsby, fans are entitled to give an honest view on what they have seen aren't they? Or are we all supposed to be happy clappers ? I will always support the manager and team and have never booed Latics. We all know it's a difficult task this season - but today was poor against a poor team - simple. Pre-season has offered little glimpse of anything positive except we have 11 men on the pitch. The manager needs time - a lot of it - but he also needs money to recruit the right players. Some of the recruits don't look good enough for our level - having watched footy for an awful long time it's pretty obvious.

Our recruits haven't kicked a ball in anger yet so it's impossible to judge them in training games and that's all these friendly games are gloryfied training sessions.

Hope these dropped points in pre season doesn't bite us towards the end of the season. Christ it's going to be a belter on this forum over the season if your all crying over games that mean nowt.

We've lost every game in pre-season. We've conceded in every game in pre-season and have scored in just x2 of them....

 

We've had no time to train and get the v small squad we have ready. It is the worst preparation for a season in living memory.

 

Of course it's going to be in for a tough long season. I completely agree.

Anyone who doesn't is simply mad or a blind optimist or both....

 

Will still support Oldham tho. Admittedly with my hands over my eyes most of the time....

Kin ell don't go near any bridges.

Grimsby Saturday United Tuesday Milwall the Saturday after where is this Citeh game supposed to fit in.

Surely no one gives a :censored:e about pre season friendlies? Nothing more than gloryfied training sessions. Any game you can make 10 subs should be played behind closed doors.

The league one news hasn't been on since but it had sky sources : former Rotherham and Leeds manager Steve Evans rejects job at Oldham.

Sky sources saying he's rejected the job.

300k seems alot, was it in terms of how much they take in revenue or how much they take in terms of profit? Because 300k revenue seems about right, but when you factor in the cost of the speaker, food, staff, wastage, cleaning, drinks etc then it doesn't leave you with that much.

Revenue but like you say by the time you've taken all the other things into consideration it wouldn't leave you the £300k but it wouldn't "only be a few grand" either.

Probably why I paint walls for a living then but Stockport down the road used to do em and financially it made them around £300k year so why couldn't we match or better that?

Charles Hawtrey styled ooooooh* there. Equates to "...a few grand" at best, doesn't it? Depends what "dinners" means. Now I'm no financial expert but if the club put on just one sportsmans dinner a week all year round that could potentially net the OEC over £500k a year which is £500k they didn't have last year.

I'm sure I've read somewhere that club events on non match days such as meetings and dinners and stuff like that goes as revenue to the OEC, surely if the commercial side of the club stick 40 sportsman dinners on a year that goes down as revenue to the club? It does everywhere else anyhow.

Where has it been said that the club receive money from the stand one day a week? Club events put on at the OEC goes as revenue to the club doesn't it? Sportsman dinners and the like can bring in a fair bit of revenue in on non match days which would still go as revenue to the club unless I'm mistaken.

That's who the Nottingham post got there Sheridan news off.

Clarke Harris went for £300k and Smith for the same, but plus Kelly. I think.

Lets not forget the Lee Johnson legacy was bringing 1.6 million to the club through selling Jch,Tarky,Baxter and Smith. When sheff united released Baxter the other week there was a story in the local rag saying they bought him for £500k.

 

agree, when was the last time we were offered that or more for one of our players[/quote) When we sold Clarke - Harris and Korey Smith.

Surely we're not going to wait until 5 to :censored:ing 5 before putting a statement out? Tell us what's going on man.

No but some tool trying to put £2000 has put him short odds. Oddschecker should do a Sheridan outright market odds on with Leeds, he won't be far off being fav for the next Sheff Wednesday manager gig.

Stephens stuck the ball out for a throwing early on in the game and somehow the ref gave a free kick god knows what for so he had absolute no chance when it came to that challenge with Mike Dean.

Off to be with his old mucker Rowett at Birmingham.

I'm telling you lads and lasses 10:58, we'll of signed someone at 9 this morning just pissing us about.

The bastards will wait until 10:58 and announce a winger and a striker.

Miles Addison has left Posh today, could he be the southern based centre half that was linked the other day?

If staytogetherfighttogether isn't trending by 7:00 they'll be a row.

If things couldn't get any worse he's gone and joined bloody East Fife ;-)
