All depends on where that unbudgeted money went does it not?

I’m all ears.

Difference between being interested and that interest having any chance of becoming reality. The idea that he gives up a lucrative BT gig and all the other stuff to come and manage Oldham Athletic for pin money is not realistic in my humble opinion.

You are trolling brilliantly tonight my man.  Bravo

You'd imagine Miller going would have freed up money in the budget to allow that.

 

There was some form of embargo prior to the league payments arriving this week, having 6 subs and a crocked O'Grady last week wasn't a choice.

Miller must have been on some coin if that was the tipping point on top of the (unbudgeted and unexpected) televised FA Cup first and second round ties plus prize money.

If he wants a job he just needs his agent to ring up a Championship/L1 club with a vacancy and he'll get one.

 

And it will a damn sight brighter, more lucrative and more stable than this one.

Who told you that? How do you know he did? How far did those talks go?

Yeah, that's just a standard copy and paste type article for me, just struggle with the idea he was seriously interviewed and we decided not to pursue it.

Discussions and Interviews can come in many forms really so I wouldn't put so much weight behind that.

 

I haven't seen him linked with any other jobs, what's so good and attractive about this one?

The defender who we signed today. We tried signing him last week but either the EFL or the FA wouldn't allow it. We actually signed Sylla between Notts County and Fulham. He was announced the day before Fulham, but signed on the Thursday before...

The point I’m making is that it wouldn’t have been due to a financial embargo as Eyresy was implying.  

Could have been been an issue at Latics; with the player’s registration or with his agent as to why we couldn’t do the deal.

Think we signed Sylla in the few days before Fulham, he was on the bench for that game 

He signed on 5 Jan.  Day before Fulham, week before FGR.

Not saying he wasn't interested

Well yes, you were actually.

We were definitely stopped from signing a player in the build up to the FGR game...

We signed Sylla in the week before FGR.  This was after significant unexpected income from the FA Cup run and during a time when the only other player movement was outwards.

I know you have good sources but this doesn’t add up.

From The Independent.

Paul Scholes had his managerial interest piqued by Oldham and has not ruled out applying for more jobs in the future.

The boyhood Latics fan was interviewed for the position but missed out to caretaker boss Richie Wellens after he masterminded four wins from four matches.

Scholes told Press Association Sport: "I had a good chat with Mark (Moisley), the chief executive, and Simon Corney the owner. Talks went very well.

"I'm sure they interviewed quite a few people. It was something I was very interested in but Rick Wellens had done so well, they couldn't ignore that.

"He's brought a really good style of football, something Oldham fans haven't been used to for quite a while. I lost out but hopefully Rick will take them on and he can be successful."

Since ending his playing career in May 2013, Scholes has helped out Nicky Butt and Ryan Giggs in coaching positions at Manchester United before focusing on media work.

No....it means I disagree with your post the moment I read it.

 

So ,in your world, you only like upboats and anyone who disagrees with you immediately gets a reciprocal downboat……..now that is strange, irrational behaviour.

I think Eyrsey’s a bit pissed off that his imaginary embargo has been lifted to be fair.

Why would I want us to lose? I've paid 300 quid for a Season Ticket and go to every game wanting us to win. I don't have a downer on Bunn - I actually think he's a very nice guy - but I think he's out of his depth. I use a football fans forum to express that view and do nothing but support when I'm at the games. I have said, both here and on Twitter, that it's got a lot better since Rhodes was binned off. The reality is we've won 1 in 6 games and people are getting very excited about a 1 all draw with Lincoln City, in a game where our keeper was man of the match by some distance. Unless you're Derren Brown, I'm not sure how you could possibly know that I don't watch games with an open mind and enjoy them. I use a public fans forum to express my view and do so without name calling and an aggressive tone, which is more than can be said for Kowinecki...

Like I said, my opinion based on what you post on here.  I don’t need to read your mind when you provide plenty of written opinion.

Totally agree that this is a place for expressing views.  It’s also a platform for others to challenge those opinions.

It does seem to have gone down as one of the great results in our history rather than just a plucky draw in the 4th division

We also beat Reading 4-0 on a Friday night.

It was Baltic and they used a tractor to de-frost the plastic pitch with anti-freeze to ensure the game went ahead!

23 minutes ago, Lee Sinnott said:

What are you going on about...?

It seems pretty obvious to me.

From your posts, it looks like you want us to lose.  You clearly have a downer on the owner, manager and Trust.  

Perhaps you should try watching the games with an open mind - seeing what actually happens as opposed to what will fit your negative agenda?

There was a clear foul in the build up to Lincoln’s disallowed goal.  Lincoln didn’t batter us for long periods despite having a one man advantage for most of the game.  Bunn did get his tactics right and made effective substitutions.  We could and should have won the game with good chances at the end.

You never know, you might actually enjoy the games if you stop looking for fault and ignoring any positives.  Just my opinion.

Why is that, have I missed something?

It all started during the Chris Moore era when we were splashing the cash and Clint Hill signed for us as Latics offered a bigger wage. The Birkenhead Bin Dippers took exception to that especially with our fans coming across like Harry Enfield’s “Loadsamoney” character.  Ended well that one didn’t it?

In those days, there was a lot of chatter on “Rivals” (JK Latics and the equivalent Tranmere  message board) and it spread from that.  Ronnie and his boy came later.

That’s a direct quote from Byrne himself.

Just what am I twisting?

He's gone,  didn't want to honour his contract. 

“I needed to go as well to further my career. That was all it was; there wasn’t anything else to it. But it probably could have been handled a little bit better. It is what it is; that’s football.”

A bit of honesty from Jack at last.  

Discounting the fish and chip posts, there are probably less football related comments on the Grimsby thread (3-0 away win) than on this one for a match that only a couple of people witnessed.

Frankie and the first team must be doing something right eh?

And? Doesn’t mean that making stuff up about him is acceptable...

Thanks for calling me a liar.

You are too emotionally involved with Jack to listen to other views.  Your posts the other day about Byrne were ridiculous and made you sound like a jilted teenager.  I’m amazed that you are back for more.

The “proof” you want is from conversations with two people with knowledge of the situation.  You don’t know me but plenty of others on here do.  I’m sorry but I have nothing in writing, nor will I discuss it further and that’s me done with Byrne.  I’m sure you and the other usual suspects will trot his name out at regular intervals this season but I’m moving on along with most others.  This is a thread about yesterday’s game, not Jack Byrne so I’m out.

He’s gone.  He doesn’t love you anymore.  Probably never did.

Then the clubs were obviously happy enough to allow the player to go for whatever reason.

 

A recent example, Jack Grealish wanted to go to Tottenham, Villa said he was staying, he stayed.

 

Plenty more, at all levels.

Now I remember why I got divorced. 

Nobody wanted to buy Grealish so he stayed. He had no choice. Maybe that will change in January?

West Ham wanted Dmitri Payet to stay.  Same with Celtic and later Southampton, with Virgil Van Dijk when he also refused to play.  Were the clubs happy they got transfer fees?  Possibly, that’s the benefit of contracts for players coveted by other teams, but I’m very sure it wasn’t what they really wanted bearing in mind the riches of staying in the Premier League.

Same goes for Coutinho, Suarez, Neymar, Costa and many more at clubs at the other end of the table.  Even competitive clubs with deep pockets find it very difficult to keep hold of want-away players. I would say it’s virtually impossible for a skint league 2 club to allow a high earner to be sat in the stands refusing to play rather than doing his job.  Even more tricky when he wants out but nobody else wants him and his baggage. 

Final word is yours.

No player under contract moves anywhere unless the club is happy to allow it.

Ok.  I can think of loads but thought I would ask my children while we’re watching the England game.

Straight away they rattled off umpteen names from some of the biggest clubs in Europe.  They also mentioned Jack Byrne.

No doubt you are right though.  Generally.

Not irrelevant as we wanted him gone therefore it is a decision that can be questioned.

Just keep ignoring that he didn’t want to play for a club in League 2.

He got what he wanted with his forced move to the SPL.
