drphibes rises again

And what where you eating in pizza hut? Probably stuffing you face with some sweetcorn based pizza eh?

Gray will be associated with Penney and that is the kiss of death for him. The season ticket rush would stop in an instant and how long would the fans give him if we did not get off to a good start next season ? In different circumstances he might well be ok for consideration but to appoint him would be a pr disaster.

Wonder is Windass has applied for the job

Dare I suggest a new manager would be a good start ?

We should not be playing Goodwin, he has been out for 2 months and does not even belong to us. I can only presume that Penney has already decided to add another Hudders reject to his already rank squad. With the news of a cut in the budget and probably more rejects from Darlo,Hudders or Donny the outlook for next year is terrible. We must all remember that while April got us the points to save our league one place it was not full of top rank performances that gave us all hope for the future. I believe Hudders and Southampton where good showings but can we really say we turned it on in the home games ? Sorry but Penney needs to go, he is a league one version of Megson who the Bolton fans detested. Managing a football club is a results business but you also need a bit of pr every now and then and Dave just does not seem to give a damn about the fans who are paying his wage.

When interviewed on Radio Manchester at the weekend, Hardy suggested we should hear something from the council etc in approx 6 weeks.

Bit like Talbot I think, success at Rushden with the Doc Martin cash but failure when the revenue stream dried up.

Good to see Penney is keeping the faith because most of the fans at this club are on the verge of losing it.

I am afraid the next Two games could be crucial to our survival hopes, less that 4 points and I reckon we could well be screwed. Let us all hope that we get of to a good start tomorrow night because if we concede early or play negative crap the crowd will be on Penneys back in a flash.

Any chance of "long time ago when we was fab" by George Harrison ? This song sums up being a Latics supporter

A career record of 1 in 8 does not make the mouth water but you have to give the lad a chance. Cannot help feeling that our scouting network is not upto much and with the Donny/ Hudders connections.

Well according to Penney "things hit Price and go into the back of the net". Playing on the right wing means that it will take one hell of a deflection for this to happen so thats why he has gone back.

We are in a similar postion to when we brought Beckett in to save us from the drop. Didnt we have to pay £50000 to get him to come to us on loan with a view to permanently signing him ? The striker problem has existed all season and now we do not have time to bring people in for a month and see how they go. Penney and the owners have to get someone in like Beckett who has a proven track record of scoring to save us from the drop.

Looks like our good times are against Leeds are long gone. We have played them Three times this season and have never looked like getting anything more than a defeat and a big fat zero when it comes to goals scored. I really do hope that the reason for our abysmal showing is Penneys tactics because he has the option to change them, but if players dont turn up because they cannot get themselves motivated against the likes of Leeds we are well and truly knackered.

Good idea.
