Scholes was at the game on Saturday with Mick Priest I believe, wouldn’t be surprised if it’s him who assists scholes. Recently left IK start in Norway. Previously with us and knows the club aswell.

Genuinely interested other than his shot what did he create? Crossing was poor. I like the fact he can drive with the ball but doesn’t do it anywhere near enough. He finds it easier after trying to beat a man comes back on himself to do it again.

You don’t stop following because an owner comes along who will be around for a few years. Not happy? Bolton fans seem to be doing a lot of good in highlighting the shocking job their owner is doing. Protests at games / before games is what starts getting things noticed. Don’t think there would be the support to start it yet though.

That all it says or anything else with it?

Branger played well second half? Must have been watching a different game. Yes he had loads of possession but what chances did he create barring his own shot? Nothing. End product so poor and he is so weak. Not been one to slate him but today was shocking in my opinion.

Branger can fuck off. Terrible. Apart from one shot on target so weak and fails to do the basics. Not good enough. Would rather start Robinson.

From MK Just shown Oldham caretaker boss Pete Wild replay of pen. ‘Clear as day. Never a pen.’ He’s furious. Says officials won’t speak to him.

Where’s he gone?

That’s been posted on a fake Oldham Facebook group

Ask Paul Scholes why he is close to giving up a stable life of family and punditry to take on a managerial role at Oldham Athletic, the team ranked 80th in England who lie 12th in League Two, and the former Manchester United player is typically straightforward about the hole in his life that perhaps only management can fill. The void has been there for the past five years, since he retired as one of the best British players of his generation; a lack of aim or ambition after so long striving for glory with United and England. Scholes retired at the end of the 2012-13 season having won 25 trophies in 22 years with United and played 66 times for England. At 44, he needs more than the gym, playing golf, family time and involvement as one of now six former United players known as the Class of ’92 who own Salford City and who, yesterday, welcomed their former team-mate David Beckham after he bought a 10 per cent shareholding. Punditry? Scholes has done it, highly effectively, notably in his staunch criticism of José Mourinho’s reign at United, which ended last month after the club’s worst start to a season since 1990-91, and his claim yesterday that “since Ole [Gunnar Solksjaer, the former player who is now interim manager] has come back you feel like you’ve got your club back”, but he admits that media work has never come close to satisfying him. “I think that’s what makes you, not depressed, but it makes you sad when for 20 odd years, from leaving school, I’ve always had something to try to achieve at the end of it,” he says. “It was usually trying to win a trophy. Then you spend five or six years in the media and there is nothing to achieve. I think I’m ready again to try to achieve something. It might be a massive failure, I don’t know, but I want that sense of feeling again on a Saturday afternoon. Whatever level it is you want to fight for something. I’ve got to a point now where if something does come up, I don’t want to be sat at home wondering about it.” There is still something very odd about seeing that celebrated Class of ’92 — Scholes, Ryan Giggs, the Neville brothers, Nicky Butt and Beckham — and realising that only one of them, Butt in his role as academy director, has a role at Old Trafford. It is not how Sir Alex Ferguson envisaged it. “I always remember the last couple of years [before he retired], he wanted us involved, he wanted us to get our coaching badges,” Scholes says at a press conference at Hotel Football, also owned by the Class of ’92 and just a corner kick from Old Trafford. “I think the manager always wanted something similar to a Bayern Munich or an Ajax where there are always ex-players involved in the club, but it just has not happened other than Nicky. A lot changed at the club.” He hardly need add that relations with Ed Woodward, the executive vice-chairman, have been strained but says that “you’d almost feel welcome there again” thanks to the revival under Solskjaer, a former team-mate. Rather than wait for an offer, Scholes is poised to take over the club he supported as a boy. He has had talks with Abdallah Lemsagam, the Moroccan who became Oldham chairman in January 2018, about succeeding Frankie Bunn, who was sacked in December after six months in charge. Pete Wild, the caretaker manager, is expected to remain in charge for Saturday’s FA Cup fourth-round tie at Doncaster Rovers. Does Scholes not fear that his outspokenness about the failings of other managers will come back to bite him? “It’s not important what pundits think,” he says. “I don’t understand why managers even give it the time of day.” As for his own opinions, he insists that he only ever sought to be honest. “You can’t get away with bullshitting people,” he says. “I wasn’t slagging the club off, I was slagging the football off.” Leaden football? “Shite,” Scholes mutters under his breath. Soon we will find out how he fares in the dugout. He has not yet done his Pro Licence qualification and has taken his time to move into coaching. “I was always the last one to do anything out of the five or six of us,” he says. “I was the last to make my debut, last to do my coaching badges, if something happens then I’ll be the last to go into coaching as well. I want to be challenged. I’ve been sat at home for five years not challenged whatsoever.”

Salford have a press conference scheduled for 11.30 am for an announcement today we ownership of the club

Not getting into an argument but Wouldn’t have Gardner anywhere near the Centre of the park. Stick him outside where he played mainly before he came to us. Has the energy to play wide and can put in a ball. Nepo left him right Maouche and a proper DM like lyden or Missilou would be happy with that.

Same guy loves a wind up saying the deal for the striker was off couple of hours before he was announced

Or they maybe for his family?

Surprised scholes hasn’t been seen around BP barring that match yesterday. Hoping we we get it announced before weekend will give everyone a boost.

Deyres42 being such a dick on this thread.

I’m sure he could sell them to either of the group and would get them back whenever he wanted if it didn’t go well at BP. Butt is his best mate I think out the group so wouldn’t surprise me if it was him he sold them to and the understanding he could get them back

Thought across the pitch we were poor yesterday but Iversen has his worse game yet. Goals conceded were pathetic. Becoming a real issue him not coming off his line and clubs are seeing that and using it against us. Mad as we played a high line yesterday yet our keeper doesn’t come off his line. Don’t know who’s idea that was but it was a shocker. Both Clarke and Edmundson got bullied for 90 mins. Maouche crowded out missilou and sylla didn’t stick to their defensive job which left us exposed. Vera no service at all and spent 90 chasing hopeless long balls aimed at nobody. Branger needs to be dropped. Weak and no confidence to drive at the opposition instead chooses to hold onto the ball for the opposition to get back before looking to find an orange shirt. If scholes was there yesterday can see some big changes happening. Glad that’s off my chest

Haha no he isn’t

He has already confirmed it

Could be wrong but think you have to register than when you first sign up online. When you are logged in have you gone into ‘network’ or ‘my details’ to see if they can be added?

Any others due in paddy?

The bookies do like playing with the markets to get people betting. Wouldn’t surprise me if no one has put anything on. Would like scholes purely for his contacts alone!

Rules both out then
