Jesus christ. The absolute state of that parting  of ways with Clarke. He deserved more than that. Utter disgrace

2 points dropped, but........with 7 games to go I thought we needed 71/72 points to have a chance of the play-offs, so 5 wins and 2 draws or 6 wins and 1 defeat. So it's still a huge challenge, but 4 wins and a draw from the last 5 will get us to 71.

 

Unlikely but here's hoping!

It's not gonna happen. A mountain ask. Just applaud the efforts of Wild. Hope he gets a deal for next year

You feel a bit sorry for a bloke that is single handedly destroying our club? 

You think this nutter is single handedly destroying our club?

Interesting 

I'm of the opinion this process started many years ago. Whoever he is whatever his intentions he took on a sunk ship not a sinking one. 

It's wild till end of season

incredible but i'm beyond caring about the playing side. It's so much more than this now

Modern footballer? Social Media?

I don't condone the culture but you want to see the absolute dross that our own legends Marshall and Holden spue out constantly and would have done had it been around back in the day. #footyLADS #boyswillbeboys #DMmebabe

Anyway....

As for this season the sooner it fucks off the better. I don't blame Scholes one single iota. I blame the owner for not learning lessons and I blame the players for absolutely conning us yet again. Spineless gutless and pure amateur against some absolute dross. 

I hope Scholes is able to remove as much of the deadwood as possible and bring in a group of players with just a % of the winning mentality required and I only ask of the owner that we don't hear his name or the club name in a single national press headline (notably Keegans DM) . That will mean we are doing something right. 

Gutted I couldnt make Tuesday but watched the live stream and genuinely buzzing for Saturday now with my lad!

Probably caught up in the moment but i genuinely think (probably more hope) that this is a turning point for this club!

Whatever happens now this season I can sense a real collective optimism around the place that we have been missing for such a long long time!

Does anyone really believe that Scholes would be happy with the projected 15th place finish?

As we have already established many supporters are more than happy,but Scholes is more used to winning shit than being brainwashed into thinking that avoiding relegation is a great achievement.

 

 

 

Great

Just the mentality shift that this club needs.

Im all for chances.  In this case though I think the guy needs to be very humble, show some real willingness to make it easier for people to help him, perhaps by starting in non league playing for a pittance or nothing. 

If you watch the podcast with True Geordie that has been quoted on here already, he openly says

A) Some league clubs have offered him the opportunity to train/trial- he has refused as he doesn't feel he has anything to prove that way

B) Any offer he has had has only been 'for pistachios' which I presume he means for peanuts and doesn't meet his financial expectations

Either way, if he has been humbled by his story, he is somebody that has continually proved he cannot change his ways for a susained period of time. Any offer other than a rolling contract would be madness from anyone.

So if the club in it's current guise went bust and disappeared from the face of the earth, you don't think there should be a contingency plan to build a replacement up from the bottom?

Why are we talking as if it's some impending scenario?

And to answer that specific question. No, given what we have been put through the last 20 years I don't believe the town would have the appetite for it to grow to become a football league club again. It would be doomed to the NWCFL for eternity.

Just go and support Mossley or Ashton. My loyalty is to our Oldham Athletic in its current form under whoever stewardship. Liquidation? Anything after that I couldn't care less

Worst thread and worst idea since this websites inception. 

I know we are all bit delicate after yesterday/today but lets not talk silly talk

Utterly depressing stuff

OMG disgusting losing to PNE 0-3.

 

If we carry on like this we'll be playing non league very soon.

 

That's my Saturday night and weekend ruined now.

I think the Urugyan is a dead cert which is typical of Latics when the answer may have fallen right in their lap they'll ignore it. 

We at the very least need to keep Wellens on in some capacity.

Listen from 55:00 mins.

I'm very impressed with the noise Wellens is making. Sounds like a man with a vision

For anybody that has the time.

Very insightful and presents himself as extremely knowledgeable about matters in and out of the game.

Really?

 

For the second time in two years Shez finished a season in good form - and therefore his 'stock' was high with supporters.  A combination of squad changes, pre-season and 2 competitive defeats neither of which saw us play well - means that I think its fair to say that he hasn't increased his 'stock'.

F*cking

Games!!!!!

A player in the Shez mould. Not saying he's as good as Shez was is it.

It's pretty obvious the point that you were trying to make pal. Some people on this board seem to get a weird satisfaction with picking at replies and taking stuff out of context.

We've signed a whole squad that will take time to gel, learn how each other plays and learn what the manager wants.

 

Problem is some people seem to be questioning why that's not happening instantly.

Those people do support Oldham Athletic, but dont understand football

bravo if you can even give it away for nothing
