  1. It's embarrassing to admit, but over here in Ireland when I was a kid me and my dad used to beep the car horn and wave any time we saw a BU reg car... sometimes I still do! No doubt people thought we were completely mad.
  2. And one of them put in the worst performance BP’s ever seen. Doesn’t bode well to say the least.
  3. Forget about the window - some of our lot need to be shown the door.
  4. So one media partner has briefed the other and said "don't quote us on that because it could all go arseways any second..." Time will tell, I suppose.
  5. I've low expectations that come from a lifetime of supporting Latics and my personality, I suppose. I didn't expect much of a cup run - I never really do. It's a bonus when it happens. But I'm of the basic opinion that an owner meddling in team matters is not a good thing, short term or long term. At best I don't think it's good for the club - at worst I think it's very bad for the club. And could cost us the chance of having Scholes at the helm for however long he sticks it out.
  6. To paraphrase the thread title - we're out of the FA Cup and lame in League Two because AL meddles with the likes of Wild in team selection and Scholes won't like that.
  7. If he was doing that well with us he’d be gone to a bigger club within two of those seasons.
  8. The notion of starting up a “next manager after the next one?” thread on this forum isn’t as barmy as I’d like to think...
  9. Won’t he surely, at the very least, be on Latics’ shortlist again next time the hot seat’s vacant?
  10. I’ve gone with Scholes. In the distant past I’d have been excited at the prospect. But as things are now I’m not enthusiastic about who gets it as I fully expect them to be gone within six months anyway. In Scholes’ case possibly sooner. Wild’s a top bloke but I wouldn’t want him to get it for his sake. His day for a big job will come. Possibly elsewhere. I don’t know much about Askey. So at the very least with Scholes we’ll have a more interesting second half of the season. I predict that sooner rather than later he’ll leave. Pete will step in again as caretaker. Our owner will admit mistakes were made. Some will hope or presume he’ll learn from them but he won’t. League two pergatory becomes the new League one pergatory. We have a bit of FA Cup success in five years time. And continue to sign players whose names I struggle to pronounce. And “slowly slowly” will continue to be the new “keep the faith”. I’ll still always love Latics though. I’ve been resigned to that for decades now!
  11. I’ll be surprised if he lasts to the end of the season. But at the very least it’s going to be interesting.
  12. I wasn’t expecting this - to put it mildly. Now what odds that he’ll last more than six months?
  13. Isn’t this just how bookies try to kick a bit of life into a bet that people are bored with?
  14. What if they're told they'll be sacked if they ask uncomfortable questions?
  15. I hate the term "media partners" - basically it means that the media involved will throw a blind eye on anything the club want them to throw a blind eye on.
