Well explain, why do you think it's a good idea to change your captain, change your goalkeeper and make eight changes into just the second game of the season?

Are the players tired?
Did he not know/does he not know is best XI?

You are either a wind up merchant or really thick.

According to the Urban dictionary.An Egert is a viking like hunk,who plays in a heavy metal band,drinks a lot of beer and farts a lot.

No I don’t know everything about the situation and if it was just this in isolation I would probably be less inclined to jump on his back but one thing after another over and over and AL’s “woe is me I didn’t know what I was buying” just smacks of bollocks.

 

No one told him what he was buying, Mike Keegan has it in for the club, Brass Bank has it in for the club, The FLG has it in for the club, staff leaving left right and centre with not a decent thing to say about the bloke (again a couple in isolation Id accept they might be in the wrong but all?) every man and is dog is picking on poor old AL except for a few of the “the fan” who appear to be Birkett and his cronies 

There has been a lot of crap happening at this club for years and a lot of bad decisions and lots of things leaked into the media and by all accounts some poor staff.Al as had a big clearout of course most of those sacked are going to say bad things against him but isn't this sour grapes.I don't see many fans saying too many nice things about Brassbank or Mike Keegan either.OK Al has made mistakes but he definitely wants success for this club.So I for one will give him a chance.Some fans decided they didn't like him from the start and will never give him a chance no matter what he does.This so far anonymous FLG are yet to convince me of anything as so far as  their true value and ownership as not yet come to the fore.

All these things being done “in the best interests of Oldham Athletic” he really is a fucking prick 

I take it you know everything about this situation,so that's why you decide that AL is in the wrong.You must have inside information from a reliable source.I don't think so.

It seems to me that this fans group haven't got that much money and maybe are now overcharging the footballing club(just guessing-like everyone else)

Surely it’s got to be better for all concerned including AL that the stadium is owned by fans rather than Blitz & Gazal who no longer have any interest in the football club!

I agree but that's providing they are genuine fans of the club and not money grabbers.Their anonymity so far doesn't convince me.

So the lad uptop number 9 was a trialist interesting.

 

He looked nothing like a footballer he looked like a singer in student band. gangly, ungainly, arms and leg like sticks but he was involved in all 4 goals. He won the pen for the 1st, scored the 2nd, played a nice ball round the corner for the 3rd, his shot was deflected for the 4th. He ran in behind well and he answered to the name "Cam" Don't want to build him up to being somekind of answer to our problems but he was interesting to watch I think we might give him another look.

 

Harry Robinson and Jack Williams got the 2nd 45 minutes Jack Williams had some nice touches you can tell hes got it. I overheard one of the young lads call his scouse Messi you can see why hes small urchin like but had good close control.

 

Talked to some Glossop fans who said they were quite happy with team they had. Whenever Ive seen us take on Glossop we've never won by that many so maybe thats a good sign. 

 

Did anyoneelse go?

Yes.I was well impressed with the battling qualities against older players in the 2nd half particularly.We passed the ball around confidently from the back.Some good prospects there.

Christ lads. We’re on a good run but this does not excuse the Chairman’s behaviour. Don’t forget it.

So what 'facts' do you know about the chairman's behaviour? I suspect most of it is hearsay or crap made up about people who have some kinda grind against the club.Sure mistakes have been made and the powers that be accept that.We are playing well at the moment and that is what matters.s

This season was always going to be about the many using there season tickets up. I gave mine away and will only be attending away games next season, the test of whether there is any fight left will be in St sales for next season. 

If you don't want to put money into the football club then that is up to you but don't come on here acting as though you are some kind of hero because you are not.When the going get s tough the weak f*** off.Either back the club or leave it too the proper fans.

All true, can’t disagree with any of that.

 

The fact remains it was a terrific 90+ minutes on the one hand, and on the other we continue with a complete bell-end of an owner.

We have a lot of bell-ends as so called fans,who think they know how to run a football club but really have no idea.It is easy to winge about something you know nothing about but the probability is you would be a lot worse.

Do you? Hearsay?

Do you still think the same.It was a brilliant trip.Looks like you missed out.I guess that's what happens when you have the wrong attitude.

Yes very good effort, was -8% overnight .

I have been on the pitch just after the postponement and apart from a couple of small hard patches which would have been sorted by K.O. time the pitch was fine.It was the referees decision only quoting Health & Safety,well I guess it was his own safety because apparently the players and management were happy to play it.Apparently the referee quoted he didn't want the Morecambe fans travelling?????????.Wildy wasn't happy-this would have been his last game in charge.

I didn't go or watch it - did Stott play well enough to partner Clarke rather than Edmundson? 

 

How did Edmundson play at MK? He's had a decent season but has been going backwards a touch - maybe a rest is in order? 

The defence was OK at MK it was midfielders who cost us the penalties.

There won’t be a massive budget for players I agree, but the idea that’s scholes would come in and just he happy to work with the foreign legion is also not based on reality.

Why wouldn't he want to work with the foreign legion as you call it.

So because he keeps it all cloak and dagger we should give him the benefit of the doubt? Sorry but we suffered enough of that bullshit at the hands of Corney for years and had to bow down to the apologists, there is not a chance I will spend one more penny with the club the way we are operating and I reckon he's making a huge mistake behaving the way he is.

 

We can bury our heads in the sand if you like but there is a consistent theme emanating from the club and there hasn't really been any denial of this.

So you prefer to make it up rather than wait for the truth.

Spot on Mids. 

 

If people want to look past everything you’ve put,  (Which a fair few do) then it’s blind hope. Which actually is to be admired, because without those folk we would be non league already. However it doesn’t cushion the fact we are going one way and isn’t up. 

 

I still can’t get my head around why Scholes would take the job. We have a very average squad, no money, no back room staff, no board, and an egomaniac for an owner. People keep saying ‘we don’t know his wealth’ Well I’d say our squad and late wages tells you a lot about his bank account. Even if you had affinity with the club though, and you had been living on Mars, one conversation with Bunn would put you in the picture. 

 

The whole club is a circus. It’s really sad. 

 

 

 

 

And this board isn't a circus.There are some clowns on here.

So there are still massive uncertainties over Scholes actually becoming manager.  If this is true how come some on here said it’s signed and sealed?!

 

This puts paid to him helping us secure any decent players on loan before tomorrow’s deadline....unless he joins in a coaching capacity or is that still a breach?  Yes he could help even if there’s risk of him not managing but would those players join us if AL remains picking the team whilst we secure Scholes.

 

The bloke didn’t conduct due diligence when buying the club and now done the same with Scholes, which led to this managerial appointment dragging on for weeks.

 

The more I’m reading on this bloke, the more I’m inclined to agree with his critics that he’s potless, a chancer and will ultimately be the final nail in our coffin.  This is a bloke who’s screwed up the recruitment process whilst the transfer windows open, putting to an end the strengthening desperately needed, supposedly interfering with player selection and refusing to play or select some players again.  The last two points he promised in the media he wouldn’t repeat.

 

He’s avoided a meeting with the Trust and hasn’t exactly chased for this to be rescheduled hence them meeting our ex-owners/landlords instead.  Is his openness to the Trust and fans purely lip service with recruitment now very much on his terms, alongside selection, to advertise his players on the market? Perhaps he has more of an interest in this than merely being  their employer?

 

If Jim White references Scholes and us tomorrow, perhaps we message his show and ask Simon Jordan his opinion ... he was firmly in the camp that owners do not interfere and stay away from selection and recruitment.  If nobody’s signed tomorrow and the managerial position drags on then we vote with our feet and boycott matches?

 

 

Boycott matches.Oh that will really help.Sometimes things have to be kept quiet until the right moment.Unfortunately a lot of Latics fans do not possess any patience so they start rumours which don't help anybody-stop listening to gossip-most of it is made up.

There were some decent things (Hamer’s goal, decent performances from all 3 home grown defenders etc.) but I genuinely thought that the movement off the ball was the worst I’ve ever seen. A lot of the time when we had the ball there was absolutely nobody moving to try to create somewhere for the man in possession to pass to - they all just stood still. Vera was like a 45 year old Ron Futcher, but without the skill (I was a big fan of Ron Futcher). MK Dons offered nothing going forward other than the 2 penalties. I’m still trying to work out why Baxter would want to make that tackle - unbelievable for someone of his experience. 

I wasn't impressed with MK at all(after all they didn't score from open play).I actually thought they were there for the taking but I think we started off showing them far too much respect as we did against the likes of Forest Green and Mansfield and set out as we have done before to contain them for 60 mins and then I guess have a go but when we had to try to get back in the game we had too many tired bodies and a lack of mobility up front.I thought we did OK at times and created some chances but our shooting was not good.I thought our build up play was slow and we did not get enough players in the box or any good crosses in especially when we should have been having a real go.e.g near the end we had 2 players in the box marked by 5 MK players,waiting for a cross yet we had 4 players on the half way line worried that their one lad up front would break away and score.We need to stop playing with so much fear and take a few more attacking risks.
