  1. Morning gang. This thread is (was...) an ongoing signing rumours page, for throughout the season. I will lock it (for now, if someone reminds me) in place of the one below - just to save you all having to look in two places at once for basically the same conversation.
  2. It's what, a mere 3 hour drive? Less outside of rushhour! He'll be fine Mrs Undsworth! To be honest, I could name a dozen Latics fans who'd be willing to do a free taxi service for him there and back every day for the first six months, if that's any kind of deal breaker....
  3. This is his biggest problem, off the pitch. He comes across like his shit don't stink. And given the budget and league position that's a bold strategy. Yes. But it's a rough road and I've seen nothing to suggest he's on it!
  4. Don't know what you're on about... he strikes me as the kind of quick witted and decisive man to lead us in to the National League North. He'll get us there, we just have to back him...
  5. Let's stop all the personal comments please everyone. Anyone can post here, everyone has anonymity, we know some people have multiple accounts, we know some people move from Account A to Account B, we know some people connect their online accounts by name and others who don't. None of it matters. Debate the point, not the person.
  6. We can't stop you abusing Undsworth, but we can stop you abusing each other. Please be kind, it's a tough time and we all want what's best for the club. Heated exchanges and differing opinions are one thing, outright childish insults are another. And we all know I hate moderating shit, so be nice! Ta.
  7. First - I think Undsworth has thus far proved to be entirely fucking useless. This isn't a defence of him. However, one potential explanation for something like that is as simple as we wanted to sell him. If you know he's a bit light and could be found out you don't want to expose that whilst a Championship team is thinking of giving you up to 100 grand. Let them worry about that when he's their problem.
  8. I'm not a massive fan, but equally there's nothing inherently wrong with that. The formation (alone) hasn't been the issue. The issue has been that 9 of the 10 outfield players have been within 10 yards of the back 3 and the wingbacks haven't left their own defensive line (never mind their own half!) in that entire time. If, as the Stockport fans suggest, this lad can actually get up and down the pitch then he could dramatically improve what a back 3/5 looks like.
  9. From what I've seen this season we never have it, so I don't get your point?
  10. Unsworth talked about that a little here, with the Oldham Times. Also mentions how Frank was down the training ground fixing a gate. They've made mistakes and are not perfect, but there's so many positives to be had if we just take a deep breath and accept this takes time.
  11. Worth keeping in mind he's from a short drive away from Ebbsfleet. May not want to uproot his family at this stage.
  12. From what I know of it, and I could be wrong, it was more the 'club' who basically sold him down the river on a promise of a new deal. Which they pulled from under him abruptly and rudely.
  13. The way he was treated by us at the end was atrocious. Coupled that with his playing style and like yourself I've always looked out for him and his teams, and I'm absolutely delighted with how well he's doing.
  14. You know who you are. And it was bloody funny - I will give you that. But sod off!
  15. What in the fuck does this have to do with someone being gay? There's a societal problem with older men abusing their positions of power over younger people, irrespective of gender. Some get a social pass with regards to it, and some don't.
  16. *META* I guess the (our) club is healing - everyone seems much more animated and vocal at the moment. It's nice to see! But it's also bringing out the petty bickering. Knock it off - nice to each other for fuck's sake!
  17. He's been the "Football Operations / Administration Intern" at Latics since Oct 2020. Good luck to him.
  18. Glad we didn't spend £140,000 of 2008's money on him, looking at his career!
  19. Sometimes site updates (things to keep the underlying tech updated and secure) remove things like that by mistake. Other times it's just that the vendor (Invision) remove features and we're subjected to that without much say in the matter. @Matt is most likely to know... Matt?
