Recently- Southend, Colchester, Scunny, (Barnsley, Blackpool) hardly any funding, the example of Scunny is that they have taken a risk on players people have never heard of, its paid off. Royle is a legend but in this spell he may end up being remembered as a failure which isnt what we want

Quality like Ian Westlake?- time will tell but i think its going to end up even worse next season. I obviously hope im wrong

It is of my opinion that Royle isnt the right man to take us where we want to be and it seems as though some Latics fans are living in the past. Its hard to criticise Joe too much but it seems as though we wont be going anywhere for a long while, combined with other factors such as a reduced budget and players that are already not good enough. We need fresh ideas from someone who is young, hungry and ambitious, Keith Hill, Jim Gannon... as if we do apoint Joe it wont be long term- where does that leave us?- in the same position. Im not going to say i wasnt pleased with Joes arrival i was chuffed at the beginning but i saw even after just the first game that it wont work. From the moment the tannoy kept rolling out the scenes from 89 i thought its going to be a massive let down and it has been- i would go as far as saying Shez would have got us a much better return. Players are still deflated i think and know for a fact that some players e.g. Taylor loved Shez- although it seemed morale had gone i think sacking him actually made it worse- and ill be the first to say i wanted Shez out. So where do we go from here- we will appoint Joe and combined with other factors what will next season bring? - reduced budget- poor players- how many from Ipswich remains a mystery but i say at least 3/4- Westlake, Supple.. - increased season ticket prices- people wont buy them, and why would they having whitnessed this seasons disaster - player clearout- we basically start again- no established team bonding- look what happened when we signed Ricketts etc- that season it was evident that we couldnt just build a team of new players only - players arnt good enough- it worries me that Royle rates people like Wolfenden- does anyone think hes better than anywhere but Macclesfield? players like Westlake are average at best yet well sign them, loans are no better than what we have yet we play them for example we have Fleming yet choose to play Supple when we have nothing to play for- why? Overall next season will be no different from any other- mid table at best- lets save Joes reputation, which is legendary status and appoint someone else on a long term deal

he would do alright at curzon ashton

not too disheartened as it didnt matter we played quite well but posh were poor too, roll on may

would this be any good? im unaware of wardles credentials

wouldnt be suprised at the end of the day our team will just be ipswich reserves next season

Personally from the championship i want: Charlton- nailed on they are down- new ground- good london train trip- would do a Forest in league 1 southampton- never been- good weekend away- in turmoil wouldnt mount a challenge norwich- never been- possibly no a leicester though dont want- plymouth, barnsley, forest- been them all loads- from league 2; exeter- never been- weekend trip again- hereford of this season dale- derby game- lower mid table bury- derby game- relegation dont want- brentford- but they will go up, definately dont want gillingham or wycombe- wouldnt challenge in league 1 down from league 1; good riddance to cheltenham, brighton, hereford and 1 from yeovil or swindon hopefully- all long boring trips gone up- leicester, posh and leeds- help us for next season getting rid of them overall of the teams entering league 1 i dont think the league will be as strong as it is this year

Its going to be extremely difficult to get anyone is that will have a natural goalscoring ability like Hughes, unless we are prepared to pay for someone we will never replace him, different story but we never replaced Wellens in midfield and it showed the season after. For me the strikers we have at the club wont be good enough (lewi, smalley and wolf) they are young and will learn but it worries me that we have to try and replace Hughes and that we wont be prepared to spend money on someone decent, forcing us to loan some dross player like Kabba, Ormerod... the list goes on Views?

the thing is im not even bothered i expected it lets start now get some stability

we do need a major clearout its obvious the team isnt good enough were in relegation form they dont deserve to be playing for the club some of them

cant wait for trips to brentford wycombe and gillingham rather than boro newcastle preston....

Ive vowed not to go another away game apart from Walsall and that i will

no coming back now no way were making 6 points up playing like this

bradford

Joe will i be earning my appearance fee under you, Shez my mate used to stick me on for 5 minutes so i could get it

Either steve ogrizovic or bryan gunn please, actually get ludek miklosko in the sticks

Tell him to learn the offside rule

oldham 2-0 din dippers goals from ivan campo and dale stephens spectators 7,569 (879 dipping binners)

Seconded, fantastic commitment to the club by you all

The simple answer is even if we dont make the play offs a new manager would have time to assemble a squad for next season, see who he wants and see who he doesnt, if shez was given until May a new gaffer wouldnt have the right time

Nothing but respect for the TTA for listening to the fans and having the bottle to make a huge decision at a crucial time

NO TEAM OF MINE WILL EVR PLAY LIKE THAT AGAIN FOR THE 5TH TIME IN 10 GAMES

why do people still chant about ernie cooksey, hardly a latics legend

Thanks for that...could you do me a favour tell me a taxi number, as we are travelling to MK central station and our train back is at 17.50 we will need to get a taxi from the ground, is it easy to get a taxi from the station and back to it from the ground? Regards
