  1. Who knows. A fool and his money... Hopefully AL isn’t a fool but nobody knows
  2. Beat me too it. Seen him many times in the main stand upper. A few years back I was walking through royton with my daughter (with our Latics shirts on) on the way to a match. Cec pulled over and said he couldn’t make the game but said he had two spare tickets and could have them for free if we wanted. Wasn’t much use to us as we had season tickets but a very kind gesture either way.
  3. I said something similar the other week with regards to us being a team and having unity in the group. We can’t afford to have different camps and players not wanting to be here. When RW gets back off his jollies he needs to address this.
  4. He was completely erased from my memory bank, thanks for rekindling those terrible memories.
  5. Both of those clubs have had their share of off the field problems with wantaway owners/possible takeovers etc. Hopefully we will avoid any shitstorms and AL will steady things at the club. Hopefully AL does have a pot to piss in too!
  6. Kind of where I’m at. I voted no in the poll and thought he should have been fired after the Northampton game but it looks like AL will give him another crack at it. I said a few weeks back in another thread that I was yet to be convinced by Wellens. I think if we are out of all the cups and in the lower reaches of the league at Christmas he’ll be gone. Obviously I hope that’s not the case and hope he does well.
  7. I hope it’s just an opinion too. If there are any concerns then hopefully the trust are aware of them.
  8. It is a strange one. Their chairman has gone on record as saying his last two appointments have been big mistakes. What would RW offer them that’s any different?
  9. Not seen him at games personally, perhaps it the wrong word to use. But people in the know suggest he is reluctant to step down unlike the rest of the board did.
  10. Can AL not just exclude SC from board meetings like the trust member of the board allegedly was? Find it a bit odd that he’s still hanging around tbh.
  11. Pete Winklemen from the franchise issued an apology to the fans and has promised to provide them with one of the largest budgets in league 2. Not sure about Bury or Northampton though.
  12. I still shudder thinking of him lining his walls up for direct free kicks. Hopefully we’ll sign a solid 30odd yr old goalkeeper but we’ll probably end up with another foreigner who we’ve never heard of. What’s Joel Coleman up to at Huddersfield?
  13. If it was Wellens who contributed to it, which I doubt, then it’s completely unprofessional on his part and poor form for somebody who claims to care about the club. Especially in the run up to the Northampton game too.
  14. Yes, he kicked it into orbit, last seen passing Saturn I believe. Apart from that he was a steady keeper, think LJ released him due to budget constraints rather than ability.
  15. As with some of the other players in the other polls, I’ve never seen them play so it’s hard to gauge whether they’re up to it.
  16. We’ve got to get this game won. Charlton won’t be busting a gut to equalise
  17. Dale looked dangerous early on but Charlton seem to have snuffed them out and are taking control. Hope it stays that way.
  18. Fairly certain Clarke still has another year. Banks and Green need adding to the contract up and likely to go section.
  19. He’s had glowing references from both TP and Wellens. TP and Wellens have both said he’s raw but he has the attributes to play at the top level. They don’t make statements like that about every kid that comes through. No doubt the scouts at premier league clubs will have picked up on this too. They could be wrong though and he could go the other way like many have in the past.
  20. I agree but if a premier league club does come in with a silly offer then the club would be foolish not to consider it.
  21. Hopefully this is where his experience as an agent may come in handy.
  22. Maybe Northampton thought it would go down to the wire and thought they’d be able to fill the stand with their own fans? They were still in with an outside chance of staying up til yesterday.
  23. You beat me to it. They’ve won one in their last seven, a 1-0 at Peterborough. And Peterborough battered them that day.
