Moisley said in his programme notes that it depended on whether Haiti had a game and Placide got a call up.

Lets hope he does then....I would rather have a Tues night game, than a Saturday with Ruddless.

Your season ticket is your discount.

Well why dont you get one then!

Pricing is fine, I'm just not paying double the price that Dave sat in front of me did just because he has a season ticket.

Makes a change that Season Ticket holders, have been given a discount. Bet you only go to BP when they put a cheap offer on

I wasn't intending to be harsh, just pointing out the obvious flaw in the (correct) assertion that we always improve when he's involved, i.e that we should.

 

We might not do without his involvement. 

Ah the written word, can sometimes be misinterpreted. Apologies my friend

I agree but, playing devil's advocate, he's only ever involved when we've just sacked someone and all we can do is improve..

Thats a bit harsh....he has a very good reputation with the Youths.

Reckon Sheridan might still be here if he'd have gone with Wellens as assistant.

You could be right...but would he have listened to a rookie?

I have  also always thought that Tommy Wright was overrated.

Guessing at 2,500.

 

We've won four in a row.

 

We're Oldham.

 

Eion Doyle is up front.

 

Jack Byrne is in midfield.

 

My hero #26 is in defence.

 

Johnny is in goal.

 

Plus Dan Gardener will be there.

 

1-4. Unbeatable. Magic. Champions.

 

Seriousl, expect it. This team is capable and won't let us down. ?

Eh...2,500, on a school night

And I even laughed as I went past a Blackburn fan coming out of the ground who was saying to his friend "We should have easily beaten that shit"

keep deluding yourself ?

Big club innit....they dont think they should be in this league, and that we only have sunday league players. HAVE IT!!

The fact Paul Terry was in the directors box indicated to me Wellens has got the job.

The combination was suggested last week.

 

paul terry is John Terry's brother. was told before the start that he will be Wellens's assistant

Really?

one of the finest footballers of his generation, a Latics fan and a local lad to boot and you feel underwhelmed.

 

FFS what is wrong with you people, we support Latics a below average 3rd tier football club and you expect something more exciting ?

 

 

I expect to be entertained, which at the moment Wellens is doing, and winning. What guarantee do you have that Scholes will do that.

I'm with you on that point but even when Doyle, Byrne and Bryan had joined, Latics were still bottom. Why has the change in manager been so quick to improve the performances?

Probably has something to do with man management

I do have to disagree with you on that - Simon  Corney is very much interested In getting revenue streams into the club. I happen to know that the video where he pulled TLH signing off the Rochdale Road End was because they hadn't paid us their sponsorship fee (ironic I know) 

Wish he had slapped a coat of paint while he was up there taking it down....its an embarrassing mess

Or in English-we are trying to get to the bank with some cash.

I blame all the local closures of branches......

Get in

How shit would that be, if they don't appoint the higher profile Seedorf or Correa it makes zero sense to appoint any UK based manager in preference to Wellens, unless an outstanding applicant put themselves forward. 

You mean the outstanding applicant with a power point presentation, and a suit ready to wear while standing on the touch line. If I was Corney..I would say if it isnt broke dont fix it, but have a plan B.

Freddie Ladapo just come on for Palace at Old Trafford! anyone swap him for Doyle?

Erm.....need to think about that one..... dont think so

No stopping Doyle.Yessss

Yesssssssssssssss. The injured Doyle!!!!!!

I did think that, but then in essence you have got 2 inexperienced people involved.  Surely you want an old hand as well?

Tony Philliskirk as the guiding hand....

I  wonder what Burton thought, when they appointed Hasselbank. A lot of people where underwhelmed when Richie Wellens was appointed caretaker manager on Monday. There was nothing underwhelming about his debut on tues night. Seedorf would put bums on seats, and he must have enough knowledge if he is being considered. I would personally have RW as assistant than Tommy Wright.

You cant seriously believe a man who was part of the coaching team has magically turned everything round for us in a few days

 

The recent additions of Eoin Doyle, Kean Bryan, Jack Byrne and less recently Dan Gardner have give us a better chance to compete for sure but we've seen that in recent games

 

Really hope that Richie Wellens spell as Caretaker goes well and maybe he can become part of the new coaching team but giving him an extended run as our Manager, I think not

 

 

 

Where did i say give him an extended run as our manager?????. i said that i was happy for him to entertain us for now,  The manager picks the team, and tactics...not the coaches. Last night was the perfect example.

This is not a time for sentiment and certainly not about considering appointing ex players with no/little management experience at all

 

If we don't get this next Manager appointment right we seriously risk the drop into League 2 which holds the 'trapdoor to oblivion'

 

Chesterfield and Port Vale are currently in the bottom 3 of League 2, very similar Clubs to ourselves

 

A Manager of experience is critical now

I might have agreed, before watching the match last night. I am happy for things to go on behind the scenes, and let RW carry on and entertain us for now.

Hmm.

 

Needs to be familiar with English football.

Needs to have some history with the club.

Needs to be multi-lingual to deal with the current squad.

 

Only one candidate for me: Steve Marlet.

Needs a coat of armour.

Needs to buy some Thermals....winter is coming
