LaticsPete Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Boothroyd's view in the Chron of tomorrow's game : The U’s manager is expecting Penney to provide a tough test for his promotion-chasing outfit. “He’s one of these English managers who I think has been a little bit overlooked when the bigger jobs have come up,” said Boothroyd, who is without former Latics man Scott Vernon through injury. “I know him very well — he’s a very astute and bright guy. “The budget isn’t very high at Oldham but he’s managed to mix and match and they will be very tough opposition for us, particularly on that big o.” Understood it until the last few words.

ghostofcecere Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 There is only one job bigger in football than Latics first team manager and that's the Marketing Managers job. Christ, we can't even get people who spend all their time on the clubs messageboard through the turnstiles! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diego_Sideburns Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 his football is crap...... His manager yelled Go, Go, Go (Down The Line), but after Falling he said “I Drove All Night, I’m Hurtin’ and Only The Lonely (Know How I Feel) with Twinkle Toes Working For The Man and, with The Crowd Crawling Back, I’m In A Blue, Blue Mood”.
