Any way I can watch this on catchup ?

Wellens is a massive Utd fan so I think he would be all for working with Scholes possibility they already know each other from their time at Utd and Wellens also played for Salford City for a short while

Paul Scholes will be announced as Oldham Athletic manager in the next 48 hours. #OAFC #Oldham #Scholes Journo on Twitter

So is Gerrard in the wrong for airing this ? doubt the club would be happy but he’s got every right, it’s piss poor again from the top not delivering on wages when they are due, it will be common knowledge to a lot of players. Who would want to come and play there football here when wages are payed late time after time, you can’t run a business like this no wonder we are where we are !

Wasent he on trial here in the summer remember him playing a few friendlys ?

Could depend on what there contract situation is at their parent clubs not sure how long they have left, Byrne is obviously surplus to requirements at Wigan but they won’t want to lose him for free, and could they change there mind and bring him back if he’s preforming week in week out, we may have a chance if his contract is up next year it would decrease his value somewhat, Doyle on the other hand maybe still in Preston’s plans if he starts banging the goals in, I think we have a greater chance with signing Byrne permanent.

If they keep this form up though other clubs will be interested in January and they will probably pay more than us, if we manage to sign one of them permanently I would be over the moon both highly unlikely though even with investment, I’d say Byrne is worth at least £250,000 and Doyle slightly more the more he socres the less likely we are able to sign him unfortunately

So we’ve got two very good players on our hands (on loan) what do we reckon they are worth in the market ? I doubt we will be able to keep both beyond January, even with Abdullas investment I think it will cost us a whack to sign them both permanently so it may even come down to keeping one permanently and losing the other, so if you had the choice who we would we rather sign on a permanent ? For me Byrne younger and could fetch a large fee in the future if he keeps his level of performance up, Doyle is a brilliant striker for our level but I think the area we’ve lacked previously is a proper creative midfield player who can create for the strikers, so this is up for debate what we thinking ?

Nicky Butt appeared in the betting at 20/1 must of been interviewed

Dident Scholes fall out with Corney and the club after we “used” him to impress the Chinese investors last season ?

We always seem to do well when TP is helping out can't be just a coincidence shame he won't take it on full time he's happy just doing his youth role, I would be all for a Wellens and TP team, Wellens clearly knows his stuff and should be seriously considered I think majority of fans can get behind him !

Tommy Wright returns to Chesterfield as Jack Lesters assistant

I'm really warming to giving Wellens a chance comes across really well in his last 2 pressers, obviously very knowledgeable about the game, seems to have a good relationship with the players knows the club and someone we the fans have a connection to, however I doubt the new investors would like him to take it so hopefully he sticks around after they take over.

Maybe Harbin working them to hard ? Was always known for his rigourus fitness training, gets teams very fit stamina wise but more chance of fatigue injuries ?

Is he Oldhams first ever black goalkeeper ?

Banks was awful when he came on nearly cost us the game when he dribbled into his own box and got tackled then should of been a penalty when he pushed the player over, Placide saved his bacon with two wonder saves, he give the ball away a couple of times two made a couple of golf clearances that's it ?

Most things were similar in terms of style of play we worked a lot harder tonight though closing down and defence looked more solid with a 4 plus the goalkeeper was excellent maybe Shez just needed to tweak one or 2 things earlier and he would of kept his job !

It was a clear penalty Wilson was last man and shoved him in the back blatant, Fane went through the back of him as well and got away with it

Banks and Bryan owe him a pint made some outstanding saves when it was 1-1 the Banks cock up when he Double saved saved with his legs then tipped over a Maddison curler that was destined for the top corner was unreal, then the Bryan back pass he was already aware of it to come out and clear, I counted at least 4 superb saves that kept us in the game, not only that but his distribution and commanding of his box from corners was excellent ! Maybe Shez reluctancy to play him was his downfall ?

Steve Evans is very happy at Mansfield doubt he would leave to come to us right now

Shez in the investment isent going to be massive it's not like these guys are multi billionaires they will be putting a few extra quid in from there company JL2 which will enable us to bring in there clients to the development squad for free and we will getting the best ones to sign for the first team

Stats don't lie Bryan - a goal and two assists in 2 games Byrne - 2 goals and an assist in 3 games Doyle - 2 Goals and an assist in 3 games more then Banks Green and Fane could create in a full season

Can we get a "SHEZ IN" banner made up for Saturdays game, all this talk of forgien managers replacing him we need to show to the powers that be that the majority of fans want him to stay and that he has our full backing

Can remember Gary Kelly pulling off a few worldies my favourite Latics keeper shortly followed by Pogs

Defence is a massive worry, to let a 2 goal lead slip in 2 minutes is criminal, good job Doyle scored with a great header otherwise it would of felt like another defeat, i just hope we can keep hold of Doyle, Byrne and Bryan beyond January what a difference they have made quality players for this level, I'm sure there will be other clubs interested if they keep this up. We never do it the easy way do we ! Onto Saturday
