They had 12 games to do that.

He’s on a 3 year deal, I can confirm he won’t be going anywhere anytime soon. Anyone who has seen the accounts will understand the money in the pot isn’t endless. On a different note, should we not be asking questions to the current board who have overseen this shit show. I’m not talking about the Rothwell’s either.

Wow, Fylde was horrific, it must have been dire.

I couldn’t go yesterday but I was at Fylde. For those who poor souls who witnessed both which was worse?.

It was horrible.

Usual shite being spouted on OWTB.

Looks like our win got the manager the sack!!!. We are good at doing that, from memory, the most high profile manager to be booted after we stuffed them was Kevin Keegan (CIteh) Megson (Forest)…

To be fair he’s not been fully fit, he’s quality…

Will Sutton has travelled I believe.

He’s done a good job of sorting the squad out. But I agree, the previous signings since Frank saved the club has been terrible.

I was just saying that Joe had some shockers just like Mickey has. it’s not fair that the old timers on here try and preach that everything was rosy under Big Joe when it actually wasn’t…..

I didn’t compare Mellon to Joe.

Yes they did. I remember at least 3 times under Joe. 1.5 against Sheff Utd 0.2 against Bradford Leeds 6 Oldham 0. The point is like now is that after some horrendous performances under Joe the board stood by him. What’s different now, some of the older posters on here have selective memories. Why shouldn’t the board stands behind their man, just like Ian Stott did behind Joe.

Im not, I was suggesting that it all wasn’t rosy under Joe. The only comparison I made was that there were spells under Joe that were horrific. I remember in that horrible post season after Leeds play offs being batttered by Branford away in the FA Cup 5.1. That was as equally as shit as yesterdays performance.

It would, but I’m also enjoying being in the playoffs whilst taking points off plenty of teams who have dominated us.

See what happens when a club gives a manager time when progress is being made. I started in watching Latics in 1982 BP and I can assure you, it wasn’t all rosy in the garden when JR was at the helm. But, the board stuck with Big Joe as he was making progress. The 86 campaign after being beaten by Leeds in the playoffs was abysmal: But let’s forget about that, we only remember the good times.

Let’s be honest, David had one full season, a full preseason and 12 games into a new campaign which left us 3rd from bottom in the 5 tier of armpit football and blowing a budget on mediocre shit at best players. Mickey has come in, had five months and in that time had took us on a record away win sequence, platted shit the best way possible, got us in the playoffs, 3rd in form since he’s been here . Just out of interest, what do fans want. Would you prefer playing well and be 3rd from bottom or being inconsistent due to bad signings and early days into a new takeover and still punching in the playoffs. Being passed off the park is shit, but we are hardly being spanked. Every football purest knows this is a shit division were anything can happen. Why are some of you in shock, we got warned about this league when we unfortunately fell into it.

Who says they are endorsing it, I’m sure and I definitely know they are hurting like we are today. Thing is BP, they have a long term plan, I like that, they sussed out David and made the cut. As a rational board would do, they are looking at form and if we are competing in and around the playoffs. Go and support City if you want entertaining fast flowing football. Cheerio.

It’s not cosy.

I’d say they are more rational then most of the “so called “ fans on here. Thank the lord for small mercies and all that!!.

Well, you are completely entitled to your opinion.

I didn’t know the season had finished?. How did we do in the Playoffs this year?.

He’s achieving their objectives though.

I’d say he’s overachieving with this shower, 3rd in the form league still and in still in the playoffs. I know for a fact the board are happy with him.

Anyone in your network BP?. Any suggestions, that was poor today?.
