How the hell can Southampton afford 1 million pound for a player when they nearly went bust a few weeks ago.

I wonder if Shez will take the players along LOL

Sure have

I visited the Club shop on Sat with a large amount of cash burning a whole in my pocket, to say I was shocked is an understatement. If the club are serious about making money they need to sort out the stock levels in the club shop.

With it being the first match of the season I expected the shop to be stocked to the roof with merchandise, was over for the last game of the season at home last year and not much has changed in terms of what they have in sale, apart from the new away shirt.

I ended up buying a programme at £3 and leaving.

I also follow Coleraine over here as well as Oldham - Blayney is a number 1 of the highest order. Will suit Linfield as they are on a par with Man Utd their fans think they have a god given right to win everything.

Travelled over from Norn Ireland for the game yeterday, first half not so good but second half we could have had 4 or 5 goals easy.

Stockport had the luck on their side, once we start firing on all cylinders we will be fine.

Haven't we been at the Milk Cup before?

Nope, however they did play in the Foyle Cup over here in Northern Ireland about 8 years ago - its a mini version of the Milk Cup.

Its a great event - I live right in the middle of it all.

Go to it every year and remember seeing a Mr Beckham a number of years ago - would love to see a young Oldham team come over it would be a fantastic learning curve.

According to a very close friend of Neal's he''s gone to Blackpool for yes £175,000 plus add ons.

I hope this is wrong but the source has no need to lie.

If this is the case a shocking bit of business by the club.

I will be there, actually very happy with this move as it closer to Manchester Airport. Not as far to travel for me when I land at the airport.

Sign him up - however I wouldn't get rid of Lee.

He hasn't been given a fair crack.

Having seen Warren play for Norn reland lots of times I would have him at Oldham in a shot - a 110% commited player.

Sign him up.

Just booked my flights to fly over from Belfast on the 8th Aug for the Stockport game, can't come quick enough.

Stockport are over in Belfast on the 31st July as they are playing Linfield, will take a run up to this match to see what they are like.

I saw him a few times playing for Rangers reserves and he was a class act - will no doubt be a star for Oldham (Hopefully).

Stam signs for Yeovil

 

Good luck Stefan

I see they have also released Paul Warne

Looks like they are odds on to take over at Chesterfield today.

Press Conference at 12.00.

Funny lol

On his way to Brentford I hear.

Welcome Dave - now time to swing into action and boot some players up the henry hole.

whats the odds on saturday with penney sat in the stand that the likes of hazzell,eardley,allott,maher,whittaker,alexandra,wolfy and so on,,,having the game of their lifes..

You would be correct.

Meh. Having read a bit about him, and seen what some of the fans of his previous teams have had to say I'm starting to come round to his appointment. There were other people I would have preferred, Aidy Boothroyd being top of my list, but in reality I'm not so sure we could afford them. Looking at the other names people have banded about- Ince, Gannon, Adams, Ritchie, Holloway et al.- I can find fault with all of them, and personally bar Gannon I think they are all overrated. (Ince especially as judging by their performance this year having lost their best player over the summer a blind monkey should have been able to get MK promoted, and Blackburn are still only now getting out of the he put them in).

 

Penney, seems to be able to do a job at this level, and OK he might not be able to get us that far but I think he deserves a fair crack at the whip. I'd give him 18 months minimum before I even thought about saying he's not up to it- as that would give him 2 pre seasons to get the players in we might need. Shez had his time and I think his man-management skills could do with a bit of work, especially on the discipline side, and whilst his strategy works for a time it usually fails towards the end and we saw that.

 

As many people were saying even before his name was banded about we should be looking at signing some of the better players from League 2 and Darlo being in administration fitted that bill nicely- as we can them on the cheap/free. We now have the inside track on a team I think a lot of teams in our league might be looking at for new blood. I can see Donny spending some money over the pre season too, in order to consolidate their position and this might mean that certain players who are deemed surplus to requirements become availible and we now have good links with them.

 

Lets not forget we are in this League for a reason, and although we have been at a higher level before unless we get some major investment I can't see us surviving in the Championship for too long and we could struggle to find a new buyer if TTA pull out. I think some of the people on here need a dose of realism if they thought otherwise.

Great post mate

I'm sure Ryan will give it his best, no worse than the strikers we have at present.

totally agree i will be right behind him,,,just the concern he wont beable to take us as far as tta want this club to go

If that was the case the TTA would'nt have given him the top job.

More than happy with this appointment - Good Luck Dave. One things for sure he won't take any :censored: from the so called big heads in the team - they will be straight out the door.

We - are - top - of - the - league

I say - we - are - top - of - the - league

 

 

Another magnificent result from the boys in green tonight - the dream is still alive !!!!

 

did you go ?????

I watched it in my local pub, I was at the Poland game on Sat past what a day and to see Boruc make 2 major balls ups.
