    Is that the Miller who we don't need us done nothing for weeks - Okay :chubb:

    Quote from Rovers rearguard.com: 

    "Oldham fans were quick to criticise Miller and were glad to see the back of him, but then again they had that opinion of Ollie Banks who was apparently also poor at Boundary Park, so that probably speaks volumes about their club and/or opinions of players more than the players themselves."

    He is somewhere between our most talented player and the worst player to ever grace a pitch. Got it.

    I think the problem is that he is both of these virtually every match. I can't honestly remember such a Jekyll and Hyde  player at the club. In any 5 minutes of a match he can tear the opposition apart or equally his own team. One thing for sure is he cannot be trusted  in a any kind of defensive role but has moments of sheer brilliance  going forward with the ball.

  3. After being a quiet watcher on this forum for a few months I can tell you're the sort of person who will argue black is white and refuse to acknowledge anyone else as having a valid point unless it agrees with yours. Probably a fan of Dunn too

    Yes. There are a few like that knocking about this forum unfortunately. Shame really as there is some interesting genuine debate often ruined by it.

  4. By having all his backroom team binned off from under him, presumably in an attempt to make him walk. Then being told immediately after the Liverpool win that he was going to be sacked anyway. Then being kept around for a few weeks to save face, then being sacked before the Everton game.

    I think it is likely that something along these lines will happen to Dunn. Maybe not sacked but undermined by enforced changes. Possibly a director of football brought in or another coach or a new assistant manager.

  5. Brendan Rodgers is keen for the youngster to get some valuable first-team experience and Oldham could offer him it down in League 1. He’s highly rated at Anfield, with many believing he has massive potential – hence why the Reds aren’t planning on letting him leave permanently.

    But, with the right-back’s first-team chances limited for Liverpool at the moment, they are keen to send him out to a club that can play him regularly. Oldham are keen on him and not only that but they are also managed by Darren Kelly, who is a firm friend of Reds gaffer Brendan Rodgers.

  6. Geeeeeezzzz.....this, and several other threads of late have descended into previously semi reasonable people (admittedly some of whom regularly fall into the keyboard warrior bracket) becoming complete parodies of themselves in the fight to establish whose balls are bigger than whose. This is a complete and utter storm in a teacup, fuelling the mightier than thou typists into making fools of themselves on a scale bigger than Ben Hur. You :censored:ing wankers......let it drop and get on with being a Latics fan!!

    never a truer word spoken.

  7. I appreciate what you say and understand that others are in the same situation. However, if people do not come back we will have no money to add players in January, which may make the difference between playoffs or not. When we played Liverpool and Everton away from home, 6000 turned up for tickets, thus giving half their money to the Premiership big boys. The fact is our fan base is no longer able to sustain a Championship side and we will be condemned to L1/2 football.

    I agree. The harsh reality is that if the gates and revenue do not increase quickly there will be no justification in continuing investment in the team or keeping it together. I do not understand how you can supposedly want and expect to have a successful Oldham Athletic football club but are not willing to help it. If you do not think it is value for money and do not come to matches or donate to player share then you cannot expect it to continue to exist for your own personal whims.
