UPONMOORS Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 In everyones opinion, who has the fatter head - Royle or Allerdyce? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaddy the owl Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 I for one am absolutely gobsmacked at this. I was always a fan of shez but i feel he had finally lost the plot after yesterday, never in a million years did i think big Joe would be back. I am dancing round here just thinking about the thought of Saturdays game. The guy was a god to me as a youngster, and i now get to meet him every week. What a fantastic job i have.

dazlatic Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 "You should never go back" Or "Big Joe leads Oldham Athletic to victory again" Which one will we be saying in 9 games time? It's never dull is it supporting Oldham! Welcome back Joe FANTASTIC!!! Full house at BP this week end? Roll on Bin Dippers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CD's Orange Heels Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 great news welcome back Joe. Does anybody know if you can lay a plastic pitch in under a week? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shefflatic Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 great move if hr does it and gets us up he can say thanks and then go away or he might want a year to try and keep us up, if he cant do it hes had a go. win win. Ive never seen us with joe in charge as too young to go to bp before he left but cant wait to see him in the technical box vs RONNIE MOORE HAHA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafcmetty Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Didn't we always lose against the Trannies in BFJ's first spell? Seriously though, delighted. Even if we don't make the playoffs, I'm sure we'll have a fun few games, and we'll see if he still has the heart and fitness to carry on next season.

Stitch_KTF Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 I'm staggered and over the moon. This fits right in with my policy of an appointment to first and foremost (re)attract some fans. I didn't think Joe was a possibility and so was calling for Stitch as the next best man. So much for all those assuring us big Joe would never take it! Now we will be motoring.

flytrap Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 What an astonishing appointment!!! I don't think anybody (except Harry) saw that coming, hence why I found the rumour so ridiculous last week. Fantastic news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oafc88 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 OMG!! big fat joe's blue white army!!! Play-off winners and then joe to lead us back to the premiership next season????? okay il go lie down (i reserve the right to claim i made this prediction first if it comes true ) Good appointment none the less and if we finish outside the playoffs, im sure performances will improve!!

thetramfixer Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 I'm getting my ticket tomorrow. Not gonna miss this for the world! I can't believe it! and that is one of the reasons why they have done it (IMHO!!)... attendences have been low, and the last few weeks won't help that either.... that, and in just a few more weeks they will be asking us for another £300+ for next season.. timing??? oh yeah!! great news... and i personally can't wait for sat'day... and you never know, the magic may still be there!!!!

Harry Dowds Green Shirt Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Just coming down off the ceiling at the news. After I read the clubs comments from SC earlier today, a Royle appointment just seemed to fit so welll with what he was saying. Did I think it would happen????? All I can say is it has and I firmly believe that this will give us the shot in the arm that is so badly needed. If there is any problem in the dressing room, that will certainly change this week. There will be no nonsense. Oh and by the way for those not happy with our 2 central midfielders passing the ball sideways, get used to it. Wingers will be the order of the day. Very many Cheers Harry PS. Coco you are entitled to your opinion but personally I think that no matter what happened re shez staying/Shez going and a new man coming in you wouldn't be happy or at least you wouldn't let anyone on here know you were happy.

ajjovek Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 I'm going out for a pint to celebrate. How bloody exciting. Whether he is capable of the job or not, this is an amazing bit of recruitment and PR from TTA. There will be a huge buzz (and a big crowd) at the club on Saturday and a feeling of optimism and belief running into the last 9 games of the season. I really fancy it. And god knows how, after what we watched on Saturday. BARMY ARMY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdob Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 goodness, quite a day as a latics fan and they haven't even played. never in a million years did I actually see this happening. Sorry about Sheridan going and certainly in the manner of it all but can't help being excited about Big Joe being back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
