I agree that the man deserves respect. But I’d question the notion of him or anyone else in the frame for his job as having “a love for the club”. I think the only ones who love the club now are the supporters, and it’s a love/hate relationship for many of them. Frankie has had a shot at being the gaffer in absurdly difficult circumstances. It’s not working with him. I don’t expect it to work with anyone else any time soon. I think we’re so banjaxed right now that you can manage us for any length of time without your reputation being damaged - the club has basically lost its reputation. It’s history. But back to my original point - I dont think there is love for the club among anyone except the supporters. It’s an ugly stepping stone for everyone else.

I don’t need Latics Player anymore. I just see the match in its entirety by looking at how haunted Frankie looks in the post match interview.

I doubt that. Keegan has highlighted the problems Bunn has had to work with. If anything he is helping salvage what reputation Bunn has by pointing out the difficulty of circumstances at the club.

I’m guessing AL’s brother might be one.

Has a few pints on me when posting - I stand over the overall sentiment though!

Eh, no. Sorry to be flippant but Bunn’s mate has just been turfed out. Remember all Bunn’s talk about needing the right people at the club? Rhodes was one of the right people. And he’s gone. I would wager that there’s no successor lined up. AL’s just a complete arse, and an arse that has flagged more crap to come in the near future. That future that he claims to be comittted to is fantasy. There’s the obvious digs at the shit he has been landed with - so his due diligence was about as good as any fit and proper test. AL is a shyster. All the evidence points to that. Anyone who had/has even the slightest whiff of insider knowledge should know that. It’s obvious without insider knowledge. And he’s an ego fuelled buffoon fraudster. The worst and most dangerous kind.

What a crock of shit from AL. “Togetherness” my arse. If he could sack the fans he would. I don’t believe a word that comes out of his mouth. He’s going to be the ruination of us. Sad times.

AL likes playing 'Football Club Owner' except the problem is that it's not a game, he's attempting to play it with us, and he's terrible at it. And worst of all, I don't believe that he has a pot to piss in. There isn't a club statement wording that'll come close to convince me of anything otherwise any time soon.

It was only a matter of time before this happened again. All the signs were there that we were still in trouble. It had been well flagged by a few posters on here. It's depressing - but certainly not surprising. There'll probably be the usual misdirected abuse aimed at Mike Keegan now and questions about what the trust actually do... Then the draws will probably turn into defeats.

The great Denis Irwin back in action this afternoon at the Liam Miller fundraiser match in Cork... And he scores a penalty.

Swindon 0 - 1 Latics HT 0-1 O’Grady 6,155

All these years later and it still pains me to think about all this.

Latics 1 - 1 Colchester HT 1 - 0 Surridge 4,455

He'd probably get a call up to the Ireland squad - given the turmoil and fighting going on behind the scenes with Ireland at the moment he'd probably be a calming influence!

Grimsby 0 - 1 Latics HT 0-0 Surridge 5,023

He’s “broken down”???

Latics 0 - 2 Newport h/t 0 - 1 n/a 4,257

Well, the upshot is a mix of what we’ve seen of him in the past year and gut instinct that makes me wary of AL.

Slowest reaction to a new squad member in the history of this site?
