Got told today that Scholes had got it.

Not an awful appointment if it comes with some good signings before the windows ends.

31 year old journey man, who's never played in England, with an 1 in 4 goalscoring record (from the sources available)

Struggling to get as excited as everyone else seems to be.

Don't want to sound negative but the guy could be an absolute dud.

French defender...big lad and decent player by all accounts. 

Jean Yves Mvoto is without a club 

They ought to have saved the £19mil they splashed on Solanke and gave Surridge a chance. 

Officially recalled

Hopefully we use that cup money to source a suitable replacement.

It’s nothing more than a footnote now,  but if VAR is supposed to improve refereeing decisions then today it proved as reliable as a chocolate fire guard. You can understand a ref being conned by that dive, but the fact that it was reviewed and still given is at best abysmal officiating.

We're not a million miles away (/Ronnie) from promotion. We were 3pts ahead of Carlisle whilst we were winning against Exeter. They're now a couple of points from the auto spots. Get this appointment right, and get a couple of decent signings out of this cup money and we're well in with a chance.

What a craic.

Massive thanks to Dave for arranging this. If you didn't get on it, you've missed out. It's been facking brilliant

After we turn Fulham over, file under best away day ever.

He was doing okay at Carlisle, why would he want to drop down and manage non league?

Nice one, let’s sign a guy whose legal history on his wiki page is longer than his career section

I think some of the comments calling him a raffle winner were a tad disrespectful. He's fortunate to be in the right place at the right time and if today was the only game he'll ever manage in the pro game then it's something he can always look back on fondly. Hopefully it inspires him work his way up the coaching ladder and become the best he can be, wherever it takes him. 

Fair play to the bloke, I'm chuffed for him today. It must have been a daunting task for him today, not just only to gain the fans respect, but to manage a host of seasoned pros who might have been sceptical of this guy's ability to take charge for the day. I'm glad they put a shift in for him.

Good luck to Pete. I don’t know him but if he’s a Latics fan then it must be a dream come true for him. Hope he can get us three points tomorrow.

I couldn’t think of anything worse than supporting a Phoenix club. If Latics go bust, (which I obviously hope doesn’t happen) then I’ll become an armchair watcher of football, with no obligations to attend a game on a freezing Tuesday night. 

BRING BACK SIMON CORNEY!

Not complaining about this one bit. Best thing Abdul’s done since he’s been here.

Awful appointment in the summer and awful signings to boot. Gave my season ticket away months ago when it became plain to see we weren’t going to to do anything other than regress this season.

We’re as cockless and weak as a runt child’s piss.

Statement is a load of bullshit. 

No need to comment on it now, it's in the past. Other than taking a petty swipe at Gerrard (which for us is more than possible). The only other reason I see for such a statement is that we're trying to save face because we're involved in some sort of legal proceedings regarding his sacking.

Instead of posting on a messageboard why not ring OACT up and discuss with them?

 

A quick search gives their number as 0161 785 5176. As OACT and OAFC are different companies the problem might lie there.

Shit service needs to be highlighted, because it can lose the club money.

If I was hollandspies I’d probably think “fuck it” and not bother. 

This is a fantastic initiative and I imagine loads of clubs today will be discussing how to follow suit. 

An Oldham based Everton fan at work says she'll be taking her son who has autism to Boundary Park now, as he loves football but struggles with the noise and the volume of people at Goodison Park. 

Credit to everyone at the club involved in this.

I wish him nothing but the best. 

We can slag of all of recent former managers but there’s only one common denominator.

Well fought until the end.

Hopefully that performance will get us on TV against Maidstone, positive and attacking but with vulnerabilities.

We’ll be fine.

They’re winning by virtue of a horrendous referee decision. We’ve shown that they can’t hang with us and it’s taking everything they’ve got as well as luck to keep us out. We’ll turn it around and run out as winners by a couple of goals, no sweat.

Can we take Taylor off corners
