  1. Hardly firing for God’s sake!!..…he’s fumbled in 2 goals in 15 games. I still maintain he was never happy here, wasn’t arsed about playing for Latics and came solely for the money. If he engineers a permanent move then happy days…… We can do without the likes of Joe Nuttall thank you very much!
  2. It’s no wonder because The National League even struggle to get their league fixtures played because for some strange reason the bloody FA Trophy fixtures take precedence.
  3. One thing you can’t say about Latics fans who have had patience in abundance!
  4. Only 7 appearances for Barrow this season…if he’s a mate of Conlon he probably wouldn’t come anywhere near BP!
  5. Maybe so, but the lower league clubs that have absolutely no chance of winning the cup are not really interested in a level playing field. The dangled carrot and the ‘Magic’ of the F A Cup is getting to the third round when the big teams join in and where small clubs and their players get a chance to play at Old Trafford, The Etihad, and The Emirates etc.etc. whilst making a shed load of money in the process!
  6. They were top of the bloody league from start to finish & are up as champions. We finished 10th a full 35 points behind them and averaged only 900 less. Last season we finished 12th and they lost in the playoff final yet our average was just 100 less. We are bigger club with a bigger history!!
  7. Thats bollocks….I’ve seen Shelton and Nuttall play consistent 90 minute performances loads of times!
  8. Which isn’t long when you’re an undecided season ticket renewer….the sooner the better!
  9. What about season ticket sales…just a thought like!
  10. They haven’t got time…the ST early bird offer finishes a week on Sunday!
  11. Yeah I thought that myself afterwards!
  12. It has to be better than the pile of shite the vast majority, if not all of our signings have left us in!!
  13. Options enable you to monitor progress so if a player is performing admirably you can take up the option fairly early. Are you clairvoyant or summat?
  14. I’m aware of that but as over 99% of fans aren’t members of the foundation I would suggest a general statement or video through the club media would be more appropriate.
  15. I also believe that going forward contracts for any new signings should be for no more than 1 year with an option. That would then give the club a fail safe whilst encouraging the said players to perform consistently rather than sat on their underperforming arses for 2 or more years thus leaving the club stuck in a financial nightmare!
  16. Think it would save way more than that, Norwood is reputed to be on £5k alone!
  17. Providing he brings in the right quality mind! What I would say is that it might well have been a good idea to have played the same eleven in more than 2 consecutive games. Surely a little continuity could have brought about an improvement in our general play? The continual swapping and changing of players and their positions on an almost game by game basis was bloody ridiculous!
  18. After Mellon’s comments post game on Saturday, bearing in mind what he said, surely there has to be a statement of some sort from the board. We haven’t heard a whisper from DR at all and it’s about time he put fans in the picture and outlined the club’s direction/plan going forward! A positive spin regarding next season has to be forthcoming as Mellon’s comments will no doubt have had an extremely negative effect on future season ticket sales and renewals. Supporters around me on Saturday were generally about 50/50 on the possibility of renewing. If that’s the general feeling then a drop of even 25% would be pretty catastrophic and hinder our chances massively!
