oafc0000 Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 I know he did not please all our fans, but that is nigh impossible to do all the time. Ok, who has been bitching ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigfinLatic Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 What an utterly bizarre aricle all-together? Title alludes to possible signings, the article doesnt mention this at all... and then the random Ackey bit tacked on the bottom... Strange.

Oh Heck C-Beck Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 My guess is he didn't get kept on after the probationary period, nothing more sinister than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singe Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 My guess is he didn't get kept on after the probationary period, nothing more sinister than that. Normally probationary periods are 3 months aren;t they. THough I agree nothing more sinister, jsut not qute working out. No doubt he will enlighten some, so I hope there is a confidentiality agrement in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razza699 Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Im guessing they had complaints off fans about the OS, as no one can deny some of the articles posted had typing errors in them , maybe the more pedantic fans moaned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc0000 Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 My guess is he didn't get kept on after the probationary period, nothing more sinister than that. From my point of view the site was better under the last guy... Didn't he win awards and stuff ? Seems like he was a hard act to follow... When I went for the job years ago I quickly found out they really wanted a journalist rather than a web master / techie and really was not right for me. There is little technical about the official site, its basically a CMS system from what I understand. The advertised for a webmaster which for me is more of a technical role. So I would not be surprised if Ackey ended up being the right guy in the wrong job as such. Given some of the errors which have appeared on the site. This said its also now clear he was doing more than one job... Either way... Good luck to the lad... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be frank I have more things to worry me than the quality of spelling on the site Maybe it was people not knowing the club shop would be closed to sell keyrings while under 8 foot of snow...

Frankly Mr Shankly Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Yup probably right... To be frank I have more things to worry me than the quality of spelling on the site Maybe it was people not knowing the club shop would be closed to sell keyrings while under 8 foot of snow... But you can only put up what you are asked to put up surely ? I really don't think they've got rid because of a few typos. He wasn't a journalist and Stu Vose was. On the job description (which I saw, as I applied for the position) the job was more geared towards website support so suited more technically minded people. He got the job because his background was a good fit for the role and his passion for Latics unquestionable. Certainly hasn't been ousted because he doesn't know the "i before e except after c" rhyme anyway. Definite cost-cutting measure by Latics. I don't think it's fair to carry on speculating either. It's happened and someone's lost their job. Do we really have to go scrutinising this? After all, when a scout was laid off last month it hardly got a mention.

garcon Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 I see that article - or the Ackey bit tagged on the end - as Alan coming in, wondering what the **** has been going on lately, and doing what little he can to right the travesty that was the OS announcement of Ackey's departure. At least Alan had the good grace to thank Ackey for his work and wish him well for the future. I really wouldn't read too much into him "not pleasing some fans".

It was discussed enough in the last thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
