What a day it could be...Scholes, Gigg Lane becomes Boundary Park and after three Latics wins on the bounce, Bury get decimated on home soil. Let's start tomorrow. :D

I agree with your sentiments, better to have him than not...and at 20 years spent with JP Morgan, the man must have a whole world of experience behind him. It is the natural tendency of some to default to the negative every time 'news' breaks regarding Oldham Athletic. It could be symptomatic of the club seemingly being in a constant shit storm in recent times. Me? Just looking forward to dismantling Crewe on Saturday.

I think Scholes will have seen enough of Gardner already, to make a judgement. I thought he may end up at Chesterfield.

Better than a premature ejaculation, though.

Until somebody breaks his leg.

I tried turning down the brightness of my screen, but all that remained was the bloody logo! It would make a good screen saver.

I'm not really expecting a host of United rookies but, it would not surprise me to see a few PL loan players in the summer...if Scholes is still at the club and we are not starting from scratch again. It's certainly going to be interesting and I am looking forward more to the game at the weekend, rather than tomorrow night. I don't think there will be much difference, if any, in the team selection tomorrow.

Probably amongst the reasons why it was murdered done away with, to encourage dialogue.

I think it now has a hint of Ginger in it.

BolloxUp = I'm on the fence.

Now you've my Monday blue!

Strange days, indeed. I was reading the comments left on the BBC Sport article and the sheer amount of bullshit, vitriol and absolute cack regarding this appointment are predictable, to say the least. Could this move have been made instead of giving the job to Wellens? We will never know the effect that would have had and we may now have been looking a totally different situation...or maybe not, seeing as both are managerial rookies. I can only wish Scholes well, support the team as always and HOPE that the appointment is a success.

It's a bit, how shall I put it...bizarre and, depending on monitor set-up, potentially damaging to eyesight. Actually, to me, it looks as though the printing ink colours CMYK have been used and overlaid out of register to produce a rainbow effect. I have to agree, it's not good but also agree that the old logo needed an update. It would have been helpful if the forum members were given a choice between maybe three or four designs and the most popular logo was used. Then again, you could just tell us all to STFU and get used to it.

Too much cloak and dagger speculation going on. I would rather believe the 'people taking bollocks' aspect..."I know someone who walks the dog of the cleaner at the club and an announcement is expected at 18:30 today". Did the club actually announce an announcement?

Has Branger changed positions in the latter stages of the game?

Great for the lad to score on his debut. Hopefully a sign of more to come from him.

It was a bit of a rocket, that one. Goalkeeper had no chance.

The Gods of 'sod's law' but your streaming was much appreciated.

You have to give credit to the recovering tackle.

Good football, started by Nepo.

Does it really matter what I think, does it? It's the team that's out there, so we have to support it.

Don't waste your time typing. It's turning into fu**king Twitter on here.

That's definitely less than a month.

Nothing stranger than football. Let's wait and see.

Why should he get rid of his shares? He has a 10% interest in a, currently, non-league club. As far as I am aware, he doesn't manage the team but will be included in club-level decisions of a financial nature. Obviously, cash injections and the involvement of high profile 'local' ex-players has boosted the capability of the club and earn them three promotions in four seasons. They appear to have a good infrastructure, again, probably due to reasonable investment and high profile board members attracting interest. Although I am not particularly fussed that Scholes could be Latics new manager, I will support his involvement and hope that his knowledge and influence can attract better players and maybe help potential investment. Regardless of Lemsagam's supposed meddling in managerial affairs, one would hope that he has been the driving force in getting Scholes to accept the position and is well aware of the potential benefits to the club and his financial investment so far. Let's start the new era with a bloody good win at Crawley tomorrow,
