For what it's worth, here's my two penn'orth: I've been a Latics ST holder for 30 years, and as a true fan of my town and my team, will renew my season ticket whilst I still have enough cash to fund it. However.... I am so disillusioned with the club its unbelievable. I feel let down by a set of players and management that had a chance to get the cllub noticed again. I was at the debacle that was Milton Keynes Dons and the amateur display and lack of heart was a humilliation that showed the players just didn't care about the manager. More worringly, a good proportion of these same players have extended that lack of care to the club, and, logically, the fans. I have felt sadness before of course: the relegation years, the administration, the Graeme Sharpe era, but I was always optimistic that the corner would be turned, or took heart in the passion shown by several of the team. It didnt seem to matter that we didn't have internationals or really skilful players, it was satisfying to know that they gave their all for the team. Now apart from one outstanding talent, and an aging defender, we have nothing. Our promising but flawed manager has been sacked, following a ridiculous mid-season ill-conceived piss-up which surely the manager didn't plan. Our ex-legend, who it must be said, remains the wonderful manager he was despite his 8 game record has laso announced his departure, and the white flag was waved at game 35. So, after my miserable rant, whats my point ? If I, a loyal and true Latics fan feel so badly let down, flat and indifferent to the club I love, what do lesser fans feel ? Will they buy season tickets ? Will they bother to turn up at BP at all ? Why should they ? Whilst I am grateful for TTA for all they have done, all will have been for nothing unless they start offering some positive news soon.... So I and the other true fans can be proud and loud to be a Latics fan again. I'm try to KTF - honest - but I need a little help

Gotta renew, otherwise I'd have no excuse for not being given various 'jobs' by the missus every other Saturday.

So the auction has started. Who's shirt would you want and why ? - And how much cash would you be prepared to layout for it... Its for 'charadeee' after all!

Letting Leeds Catch Us

We should definitely keep Deano - even when half the squad haven't turned up, he's the one player who's stuck to the job and given his all... Luton (A) anyone ? I agree, jetison Kalala (poor poor season), Thompson (poor before injuries, can't see him getting better), Wolfy (who, though a trier, is never going to make the grade, just has no class!). With the remaining Squad, lets gets go with this: GK Crossley LB Lomax RB Eardley CH Gregan CH Hazell ML Liddell MC MC Allot MR Taylor F Davies F Hughes Subs Stam, Allessandra, Smalley, GK and MF I think we definitely need a GK (obvious) -but a decent one who can actually challenge Crossley for a place. Crossley has done OK but his mobility (or lack of it is almost embarrassing - especially watching him run!). We also need a decent ball playing midfielder and a pacey striker to challenge the 1st choice two. Black & Kelly look OK but still a little early for them yet. Decent enough as fringe / cover players though. Obviously, we can still loan players as and when needed, but the above squad (if it keeps fit, should be enough next season - just hope Hughes stays fit - reckon he could have a brilliant year). KTF

Who's the guy who reads the HT scores - he's shockin... can't hear him properly AND he can't read properly either - change please!
