Calsberg dont make Fan-zines but if they did

Liquid Gold

A player by the name of Dwight Yorke was due to sign for Lincoln City until a league 1 team stepped in !

Dave Penney's Blue white army

Major change of the clubs higher Management is on the cards

Been away

Take a bow son

Jesus Christ ...

 

It was a MISTAKE which has NOW BEEN PUT RIGHT!! Why people feel the need to drag this on is beyond me.

Why do you say Mistake? How do you know that?

The club have said it was a communication error therefore it was someone not listening and thats a cock up or something else !

OWTB conspiracy theory time

Wonder if the person who wrote it liked Stam

My bottle of HP tells me he has already had a medical and will sign this week.

The winds of talk say PA had his medical on Sunday and will be paraded to anyone that is interested on Wednesday when Penney is back off his Hols and told the lads who he doesnt want they can leave

Goodbye

Expect Wednesday to be a busy F5 day

Isn't this MB a part of the service the club provide?

Surely Owtb should be congratulated?

Also whle we are at it - the fans who us the site (s) ?

Well done to all who develop-programmed-maintain-use and abuse the features of the club that have won this award

Well done Stu and all the teams involved

The new manager will speak to the press for the first time tomorrow - and of course oldhamathletic.co.uk www.owtb.co.uk is the place to be to find out all the news FIRST, FAST and EXCLUSIVE.

Penney for your thoughts everyone?

I dont have any Penneys but how about £10 at 12-1 ??

ta very much,nothing on official site yet,or stockports site either,lol

Not a chance on Gannon he was speaking at a sportsmans dinner this week and said he wouldnt go to another club in our division as it would be a step sidewards and he deserves a big job

I wish I had a few PENNEYS who the new manager was

Just checked in on the fans game bidding and noticed half the places have no bid - times are hard and 200 sheets is a lot of cash these days. Should the reesrve price have been lower considering we are in a massive economic recession/depression?

It might be worth TTA taking this into account when setting season ticket prices.

That to me says there maybe some unhappy fans again soon

I would love to play but £200 is a bit much at the moment to spare

At least the lads who have bid will save a few quid

Absolute nonsense. He wouldn't talk to Sky reporters, thats it.

Is it?

Show me your money! 5 of the Queens English

The Stoockport County Trust had to lets its members know when they were asked why Sky hadn't been to Edgley

Its in the trust minutes

Joe does a resonable amount of media work remember...

 

The way its written I would of expected the source to have stronger than crowd chatter...

JR does a fair few Sportsmans dinners and maybe 2 pundet jobs a month

Its something that has been mentioned for a while out of Bp

IMO JR doesnt want the hassle of starting all over again, sourcing the players working 14 hour days for Fans to just jum on his back when he doesnt win one game in 6 !

The poll on Sky sports @ the moment is a poll on Ipswich Towns next manager, seeing as Roy Keane is the one they want should the club be looking towards one of the following??

 

1: Adie Boothroyd

If Ipswich dont want him, send him up the M1, M62 to Oldham

James Gannon

Gannon the idiot from County who will stop any games from sky being shown from Bp because they didnt fix his dish quick enough?

Speaking to some County lads the other week one of them works for the SCFC trust said Sky asked to show 2 matches over the past 2 season from Edgley and Gannon told the board not to allow Sky to broadcast the games !

£150,000 you owe SC Jim

Wont do interviews with them either

Like we need another Ego at Bp !

Something or nothing heard in Brighton by a few last wkend !

I heard the same in Brighton JR isnt getting the budget he wants at the moment for next season

Maybe JR is bluffing to see if TTA will offer more for next season ?

It cant be wages for JR ? He's not worked for 3 years earning a little is better than nothing when your living off savings ?

Crap budget

I can see it being half of what it was this season, the fact the club havent said what the ST prices are next season worries me !

Maybe Corney hasnt been allowed to be involved with the team like he was with Shez ?

JR is his own man, were JS did tend to appease players and other staff !

They say no news is good news but from what I hear JR isnt interested in staying at Bp without support and backing from Wardle as TTA cant alone offer the backing he wants and says he needs !

JR has recently been referred to as a hatchet man by getting rid of some deadwood at Latics!

What else is needed at the club next season?

Is it a new squad?

Club Captain?

New Pies?

New Manager?

New LB and Striker ?

All these are things we have tried to get over the last few years for the start of the season.

I was thinking about Latics and how it is run different to other clubs and one thing jumped out at me other than the lack of exposure of the club in the local community.

Why do we have a Managing Director and a Chief Executive?

Looking at 3 other clubs all of different sizes which to me are ALL bigger club than latics not one as both !

Board make up of the club

Board make up of the club

A similar club to Latics

We need a new stand with better facilities, my hope was Wardle would come in, build the new stand with a hotel, gym, hospitality facilities and maybe a new JD Sports HQ and retail shop and become a member of the clubs board for the investment.

The ticketing system at latics seems also to suffer when there is a big game on, the office cant cope with hudreds of people wanting tickets etc the club shop cant cope with more than 20 people in but still 5 staff work there !

So for next season maybe the club should be branded better, tickets should be abled to be booked better over the phone and the club shop moved to one of the sponsor boxes that is hardly used and the current shop could be better used ?

Its been discussed already about what players need to be kept from the current squad? For me it is only a few:

Fleming

Taylor

Alexandra

Maher

Whittaker

Stam

Smalley

The rest we can do without, too inconsistant for a promotion chasing team.

As for the manager ! Royle is the perfect man if HE wants the challange, can he work once again with a small budget, does he have the fight for it ? If the answer is yes - Sign him up to a 2 year deal

Agree in parts although TTA now have signaled negativity at the final hurdle.

Will TTA comment on who let LH go out on loan?

Did JR have enough time with LH to see he wasnt going to be any use this season? I dont think so !

JR is famed for attacking football bring wingers into play and gettin the ball into the box for the strikers to score - Surely this is what LH has wanted all season ?

Lets forget LH the convicted man, trouble causer (rumoured) drinker(rumoured) lets hold the key fact

The leading scorer has been loaned out to a rival, when we still had a small chance of promotion ourselves.

Havent TTA mentioned that some foreigners want to invest in the club ? Not exactly the most positive business example for anyone looking to invest in the team.

What people forget is LA and DS are now going to be under more pressure to perform and score goals but there again we still have Wolfy

Just read of this now, last I saw was when the rumours were appearing this afternoon.

 

It's disgusting.

 

The amount of time and money that I've spent on this season, and the club have decided to throw in the towel with the playoffs still a possibility. Yes, it was a long shot. But to loan out your top scorer? I couldn't give a flying f**k about preparing for next season. What about the one we're in now? The one we've played 39 f*****g games of. The one we can still possibly win promotion in? Yeah, sack that off...rather than just go all out for 7 games and go for promotion this year...let's piss about for a month and a half and start all over for another season in the same league next year.

 

I'm sorry, but Blitz, Corney, Roylewhoever is responsible for this decision, hang your head in shame. We've played for months and months this season and then YOU decide to give it up. Not good enough, not good enough at all.

 

Thanks Lee, you've been a good servant to the club and if it hadn't been for you, we may have been up s*** creek this season. I hope he does well in The Championship, at least someone from the club's going to get a shot.

I have to agree with JSSL ... I'm shocked still at the decision that was made.

Last sat brought at least an extra 1800 fans through the gates. WILL THEY COME BACK NOW ?

I'm frustrated and disappointed now after having time to reflect, Not for letting Hughesy go but for giving up and surrending our last chance of making the play offs this season without a fight, letting the clubs top scorer go on loan has DAMAGED the remainding attendance for this season and maybe ST sales next season!

Lee's goal versus Leeds showed what he can do same Southend away when he is given 1/100 th of a chance with the ball at his feet

LH hasnt played well since xmas, but show me one player who has played consistant !

One man doesnt make a team, one man doesnt destroy a team but bad management does. !

Negativity has been shown at the highest level here

Hughesy may have left in the summer, I'm sure he's not the only one but now I feel CHEATED out of money Ive spent watching the team home and away now.

If those who matter (and by the look of it I DONT MEAN THE FANS) dont care and give up then why should I pay an average of £70 to watch the team away and over £500 a season for home games.

The sole reason for our collapse. Sheridans naivity to not use this.

you say niavity I say Stupidity - pigheadedness

I for one am Feckin gutted, Hughesy ran his tits off a lot o the time for this club....ok form has faultered lately, but thats everyone at the club, throwin the towel in? OLDHAM ATHLETIC WILL NEVER BE DEFEATED!! my arse

Someone touched upon it earlier. JS was let go because players let him down. Why has just one player been let go (allowed to leave on loan) when others have caused the team and club problems ?

If Blackpool have paid money for the loan I can sort of understand letting him leave.

Cost of experienced striker FREE with baggage

Wages (reported )£1.8 k a week

Adding to the squad to make better (at least another ) 10k per week

Cost of missing out on promotion over £2.5 million

Letting your leading scorer leave with with a maximum of 10 games left to achieve promotion PRICELESS

It doesnt matter if it is LH or anyother Oldham player letting your leading scorer go while you still have a chance, slim chance maybe but still a chance is barking

The club now have given up any chance of the play offs

I wouldnt have minded LH leaving in the summer but letting him leave now to Blackpool STINKS !

Why let your leading scorer leave now ?

The club can not now ask the FANS to get behind the team for the remainder of the home games when the club top bosses clearly have given up on this season.

LH hasnt been playing well for the last 6 weeks, granted but neither have 95% of the team

Why not let SG go out on loan ? He has caused more trouble than LH

JR might not fancy him but what if Joe doesnt stay ? The new manager may have loved to have LH !

I pay on the day for games and I will still go but my mates wont now, even if they only charge £5 a game

You dont let your leading scorer go without having a replacement, which we havnt got !

Poor management from the top to the bottom with this decision IMO

Erm, the one I quoted?

 

FFS....

 

 

 

Fair enough but that means it applies to all players (which renders most of Nick Henrys post worthless) and it doesn't say anything about how big Liddell's appearance fee is (which renders your back up worthless).

 

Windass got bonus for sitting on the bench because he is Dean Windass super star

Most of the current squad get bonus based on the number of games they play in a season, if they come onto the pitch, if they do promo work for the club ie Hospital schoold etc and so on.

Lets just say that the time Andy L has spent on the pitch coming on as sub is approx £3 k .

Now if people at the club read that they will be thinking WTF. How does he know that ! Easy stop players getting drunk !
