Bloodisblue!

Ive been saying it all season, and most of last, that our current predicament is largely down to corney and the direction he is taking the club in,but many a time I have been shot down for voicing my concerns. Year on year we see budget cuts, and rants at the fans, council, or anyone else in his line of fire, never shouldering any of the blame himself.

 

I hold my hands up and say I do not know what Corneys intentions are towards the club, good or bad, but to me, they aint 100% in the interest of Oldham Athletic, and its fans.

 

For me, as a club we are at a crossroads. not only in the case of dickov, but corney as well, it is time to put up or shut up. we need drastic action to not only turn this season around, but secure the future of this football club. for too long we have seen budgets cut, and this blamed on the lack of fans coming through the turnstiles, but do you not realise Mr Corney that people simply will not pay more to see inferior products?

 

the club needs investment. if Corney cant provide this investment why isnt he actively pushing through the sale of this football club? or at least actively seeking outside investment?

 

its sad to say that over the last ten years we have gone from being one of the major teams in this league, to being a league 2 team punching above our weight. well we have come to the time when the opposition is ready to deliver the knock out blow

 

Regardless f you agree or disagree, if we continue down the road we are currently on off the field, the product on it will only get worse and the numbers in the stands will continue to dwindle. no matter what the success of the "latics for life" and "Playershare" schemes, the club will fail, because at the end of the day, it doesnt matter how hard us as fans work, there is only one man currently who can improve our fortunes off the field, and quite frankly, im not convinced by his motives.

Back corney, sack dickov.

i still think we have a good chance of signing this fella,

i dont think he failed a medical either.

whats the source of this?

cause all i get is brown sauce and some vinegar?

haha i wrote this post ages ago and left it. . a lot can happen in half an hour

i thought brill was one of the worst in the division.

i really doubt that OFW would be anywhere near as bad as him.

i know a few dale fans (not idiots) that were genuinly surprised and dissappointed

he got released. i myself havent seen him play like joe hart or anything, i just think he may be the best we could do.

as well as not being expensive in wages, hes on a free, and he is 24yo and

he has had consistency throughout a season too.

enough id say to make it worth the risk.

new profile fool :/

whats your suggestion?

its only when they make piss poor decisions like brill.

howler after howler.

coming for a catch hes never going to get,

dropping a catch he should of got all day long,

rushing 30yards out when there is no need,

if we have a decent start to the season and he has a few good games

we could easily have a trusty keeper for the season.

Agree or Disagree?

i think its worth the risk seen as there aint much else in our league

brill was abysmal.

i would have felt better with gerrard in net.

plus with a short list of keepers id say were in a decent enough position to sign

he must be one of the top ones, allready local, young, not too expensive

and has shown he has potential to be a good keeper.

far better than brill i think, he would play understudy to a no1 in an ideal world

i just dont think we can do that financially though

good shout. still a free?

and could we get him?

id like him between the sticks again

granted only 2 or 3 but its dale fans that are dissappointed he went.

i wouldnt be dissappointed if we signed him anyway, keeper situation is vital next year i think.

brill lost us quite a few points last year and i think we could do worse

OFW - he has been released recently and is a free agent as far as im aware.

several people seen him play regularly suprised he got released.

say he will be good for anyone at this level.

so especially us?

also he is young and not to much in the way of wages

defo worth a punt?
