    10th clean sheet in the league on Saturday for him in 25 games.

     

    Connor Ripley seemed unbeatable and had one of the best seasons we've seen a goalkeeper have to keep 18 clean sheets two years ago. Which is a club record.

     

    Daniel only needs 8 from the last 19 games to tie that. Not far off on current form. 


    I know we're in a division below but didn't think he'd be anywhere near that record.

     

    Been a class addition, hopefully we can get promotion and keep him for another year.

    Still got along way to go Iverson but very good prospect, his shot stopping is superb, better kicking than ripley but his claiming of crosses is so poor and has cost us a few by not coming off his line.

    It would be an incredible leap of faith to appoint Pete as our next permanent manager.

    He's no experience of working with 1st team pros other than the last three matches and quite rightly is concerned for his long term employment prospects should he take the job.

    However he's done amazingly well so far, which often happens when a manager is sacked, so for me, unless we have an adequate replacement, he could continue to the end of this season. 

    Pete Shirtliff has been around the club the last few weeks I don’t know why. Would be an ideal assistant if Pete did take the job.

    I've got nothing to do with the Trust, but I knew Diane Mellor was the official representative of the Trust to the club's board. 

     

    However, I didn't know she hadn't actually taken up post, despite her role being announced in the summer, when Simon Brooke stepped down due to a conflict of interests (he was a club employee at the time). 

     

    I can fully appreciate that she is effectively in post, but for her not to actually be in post 6 months later, exemplifies one of the issues with the Trust. There is no point in paying £300k or whatever it was to have a seat on the board if:

    The first Trust representative lets Brassbank take control of the club's assets without a buy your leave token public complaint. Then becomes acting CEO of the club (see the point above and below about Mr Brooke). 

     

    The second representative becomes a club employee for a period before he properly steps down from the role and doesn't last much longer as a club employee after stepping down from his role on the board. 

     

    The third Trust representative, who has been on its board since the beginning (didn't the Trust fail to submit its accounts properly once or twice) not actually take up the role for 6 months because the new owner hasn't held a board meeting in that time. Is very worrying. 

     

    The Trust needs to seriously audit the original decision and any other money it has pumped into the club since. That has nothing to do with the ACV, which was quite clearly the correct decision, but paying money to have a seat on the board when there is no board is frankly stupid. 

     

    The people connected with the Trust all work hard in a purely voluntary capacity (although certain former senior members didn't). But perhaps the focus should be on other things. 

    I’ve said time and time again the trust needs to be ripped apart (structure wise) and started again. The trust has become stale and needs a new direction. Seems very much an exclusive group with very little information coming out to its members and fellow Oldham fans. I know a few have offered to assist before but nothing seems to come of it

    We are going as usual on the official coaches.Just hope the coach stewards  tell people not used to going that it's a first come seat basis but you keep the same seat.

    Last time away to Liverpool this woman and her husband got on last and demanded they sit together on ticket numbers so that she could talk to him.

    Caused a load of grief until she got her way and then never spoke to him!!!!!.

    1st world problems hey...😂

    Statement by Chef Simon Wood on twitter about the clown AL not paying his way:

    The club take the money from the hospitality sales, they’ve had it already. OEC provide a match day service and are continually not reimbursed....

     

    Same as the deductions for cooking for the players who have money taken from their wages for breakfast and lunch. OEC provide for £0

    OEC is lining the pockets of the 3 amigos yet the club is left with the massive bill for it so fuck them. We take away our services from hospitality side. It then Takes away the value for blitz. Only destroying their own little empire. Will be interested to see if they offer to sell it to him. We might actually start making money then. 

  6. Sheridan’s interview is how passionate I want Bunn to sound. There hasn’t been an interview Bunn has sounded like that or had any dominance / drive over this side all season. 

     

    To me sheridan spoke like he was still Oldham manager for a fair bit of that interview. 

     

    Maybe AL is trying to get Bunn to walk without having to pay him.
