  1. Our supporters who 'Howl at the Moon' will be out in full force soon 2 Home Wins and 6pts against a bottom end of the table York City and Oxford City a recent addition to the National League Our next 3 games are against the current bottom 3 teams in the Form Table Kidderminster (A) Wealdstone (A) Maidenhead (H), all winnable you would think Steve Thompson has done a good job of stopping the rot and looks to be getting a tune out of the squad and the addition of Neil Redfearn should help keep the momentum going For me, Frank and the Board need to complete the search for a new manager and not be taken in by what will be a noisy section of support to appoint Steve and / or Neil if we win the next three games If after due process Steve Thompson / Neil Redfearn is the standout candidate then so be it
  2. Its really simple this We must recruit someone who has done something our club has not done for over 30 years A Manager that has actually won something, preferably a promotion Nothing else will be good enough Getting drawn into the nostalgia of previous players managing or giving someone their first chance in management is one of the reasons why we continue to fail
  3. Surely the OAFC fanbase can understand that a bloke when in his early 70's, with the drive and determination to row the 3,000 miles across the Atlantic to raise £1,000,000 for charity, just isn't going to fail to get our club back into the EFL Frank writes the cheques whilst the Board manages the business side of the club Like every driven CEO he will be all over the £numbers and business / team performance He strikes me as an owner who will give someone every opportunity and support to succeed but will make changes if needed I truly believe that our Club is in good hands and that we should trust Frank and his family with the future of our Football Club Personally, whilst I appreciate that some fans don't like the Manager and some of our players, I think calling them out at games in the way some do, just undermines the rebuilding of our Club #amwithfrankandoafc
  4. Apologies for the late response There is an interview on TNT / BT Sport with James Norwood stating 'the lads worked really hard today and our tactics were to restrict their goal opportunities and try and get a goal on the break' https://www.tntsports.co.uk/football/vanarama-national-league/2023-2024/it-just-shows-what-spirit-we-ve-got-james-norwood-reacts-after-scoring-last-gasp-oldham-equaliser_vid1971640/video.shtml After scoring 10 goals in their first 3 games we restricted them to just one They had 3 shots on target, we had 3 They had 3 shots off target, we had 4 A very hard fought point in my book
  5. What's happening to us ! We draw 1-1 at the BOOKIES favourite for the League Arguably our two best midfielders are out injured Shamefully, Frank had to put up with fan anger, the wonderful man who saved our club HATE for the Manager pouring out from the stands and all over Social Media An extract from a post from a Chesterfield supporter: "Thought Oldham looked okay and really well organised at the back and basically stopped us playing most of the game. Although we had most of the possession we didn't really create that many clear chances so a draw was a fair result in the end
  6. Forgot how slippery you are Fair play
  7. Just an observation League One, am thinking maybe if you read my post a bit slower it might help pal Here you go: "Up there as one of the daftest or most poisonous posts I have read on here and there has been some beauties"
  8. Fair response Monty I stuck with Unsy all last season and whilst the football was dreadful, I understood the need to play for points in the second half of the season We went to Southend on Saturday and soon as we saw the starting X1 it was pretty obvious we were in for a grueller 3-5-2 without the players to play it is madness and for a former Premier League Youth Coach to play a young centre back as a wing back without any cover was shocking For me, the Club has made some really good signings pre-season which have added substantial experience and quality to the squad, so NO EXCUSES for us not challenging for the title Both Dan Ward and Josh Lundstram made 46 appearances for their clubs last season but have broken down already for us, which is either really bad luck or maybe something in our training methods 'rumour' Am giving Unsy and his Coaching team 10 games (1 already wasted) to deliver attractive attacking football and at the very least the team be in the top8 after those games If he cant deliver that, we must cut our losses
  9. Up there as one of the daftest or most poisonous posts I have read on here and there has been some beauties Can live with a comment from Peter Clarke regarding the training regime (no documented confirmation seen by anyone of course) but a seasoned player wanting a move from his new team after playing just 45mins for them, folk have to be very gullible to believe that Sounds straight out of the 'Realistic Fans Group' does that
  10. First season in the Premier League for me after back to back promotions Not unhappy finishing 2nd behind @lookersstandandy who beat me by just 8Pts Really happy I beat @nzlatic by 8pts despite him walloping me by 12pts in the guessing the attendance element of the competition Think that's what's called 'throwing down the gauntlet'
  11. after back to back promotions it was my first season in the Premier League and I came runner up to @lookersstandandy by 8pts who to be fair didn't have to rely on guessing the attendances to beat me not the result I was looking for but not bad and well happy @nzlatic finished 8pts behind me in 3rd despite walloping me by 12pts in attendance guessing think that's called "throwing down the gauntlet"
  12. No point in playing if you aint out to win it “Do or Dont do, there is no try” (Yoda)
  13. Early doors I know oafcmetty but it looks like me n you for the title this season
  14. The lack of leaks from the three parties involved in the takeover is very encouraging
  15. Personally I find it very reassuring that our new owner has not only secured both Blitz and the Lemsagams to agree to a confidentiality agreement but has got them and his own team to actually honour their non disclosure Very encouraging indeed
  16. We are both bright enough to know that their 'terminology' of due diligence is to check the owner out from what they can find in the public domain Well intended commitment but as we know, the likelihood is that the sale will have been completed before they could release their findings Local business man with enough free £capital to negotiate both Blitz and the Lemsagams out of our club, just cant possibly have done anything remotely bad enough in his life for us not to like him, is my thinking
  17. But as you well know T, we haven't had access to the club books for a good while
  18. How on earth can you expect the PtB/OASF to do due diligence when they don't have access to the club books All they can be expected to do is find out as much as they can about the new owner from information that exists in the public domain
  19. Barry Vladamir Owen steps down with immediate effect
  20. Just about anyone remotely involved in the accounting world would do a bank reconciliation as their fiirst task Cash is and always will be King Who owes you and who you owe critical even running a corner shop for goodness sake
  21. Fair point but this is the opinion of an ex Finance Director of the football club who has had to wade through the mess Am not a property valuation expert but am pretty confident that an ex football league club with a stadium that needs at least a £million spending on it to bring it up to a decent standard just isnt going to be worth more than c£3m at best, Blitz landed here in 2003 but ‘stood back’ as owner in 2010 and still hasnt been able to find a buyer which magnifies how bonkers recent ‘valuation estimates’ are Regarding the shocking revelation from Shahed that under the Corney regime no bank reconciliations had been completed for 6 years, is there anyone still involved with the club who was in a position of influence throughout that period ?
  22. Reading the thread I'm now wondering if I listened to the same one but here goes One of the best BPAS podcasts so far for me, thanks Andy Stand outs for me, well to be honest, all I heard really: No bank reconciliations under the previous regime before the Lemsagams is off the scale shocking Even more uncertainty about when Blitz got involved, especially after Paul Whitehead and Simon Brooke stated on an earlier BPAS podcast that Blitz only got involved when the groundworks and steel had gone into the North Stand build Interesting that Shahed stated the club in his opinion are right to pursue the North Stand ownership in the courts, mentioning a clause in the documentation on transfer of ownership Couldn't breathe with laughing so much on his response to the question put to him regarding valuations "Both valuations are bullshit" "The ground and land isn't worth £6m or £5m, maybe £4m and anyone paying £6m has got too much money" "Anyone paying £1 for the club and badge is paying a £1 too much" Shamed stated Abdallah hates Paul Whitehead and Simon Brooke and reckons vice versa (no surprise there I guess) but it pretty much rules out any concessions being negotiated in the best interest of our supporters What a f>*kin mess eh Am well looking forward to the Legends game though, cant wait to get a glimpse again of the truly magical David Eyres Oh, Barry 'Vladamir' Putin calling us all "Rebels" was an absolute gift to our supporters, the man just keeps on feeding us
