Mr Corney, and associates.
As fans of Oldham Athletic, we want nothing more than the club to be the best it can possibly be at any given time. We understand the club works within tight constraints off the pitch, and this often has an adverse affect on it, but every now and then there comes a time when you - As custodians of the club - can make a decision that is the overwhelming first choice of the majority, while at the same time won't jepodise the clubs future financially.
Over the last 4 games Ritchie Wellens has galvanised this squad into a team that has the potential to not only be one of the best Oldham teams seen in years, but one that could actually challenge this season. The fans are absolutely loving not only the results but the performances to go with it. In him we believe we have a winner.
We are not blind enough to think this can continue. There may be troubled times ahead, but when you are winning why upset the apple cart with an outside appointment? Recent media reports have suggested big name appointments, but the fans simply want to see good attacking winning football which we have seen in abundance under the current manager. There is no guarantee any outside appointment will match that no matter how big the name.
I write this to ask you to make the sensible decision and make the current caretaker manager permanent as soon as is viable. Clearly there are goings on behind the scenes that us as fans do not know about, but all involved want the best for the club and it would seem folly at the current time not to give the job to Ritchie Wellens.
We await your decision, but know it will be one that has the best interests of the club at heart, and one that will bring solid foundations to the club going forward.
