Ackey Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Say what you like about TTA Joe, I refuse to believe they he will be daft enough to repeat last season's mistakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manshaw Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Agreed I think this guy has all the right attributes to be a great manager, but like you said, he doesnt want it But he probably would, and has done so before, as an emergency. At least he is Oldham through and through. Wouldnt stand there with his hands in his pockets, saying that he doesnt give a :censored: about the fans. That really gets me going.

Stitch_KTF Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 I cant believe this hasnt been posted If it has or has previously been removed then sorry MODS In one of the totally trust worthy papers on Sunday not sure if it was Sun or Mirror it said Penney is to be sacked and Ritchie will take over with Gregan being promoted to assistant, This isnt a fishing thread I will scan the article in later today If this is a titanic thread then so be it im late Thoughts? Jesus Christ Razza. Are you trying to give me the horn? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singe Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Jesus Christ Razza. Are you trying to give me the horn? You're problem is you are too easily pleased, and not that "selective"..... I have to say I don't think that is the answer. But I despite my doubts about Gregan, I do think he will make a good manager. Is the Ritchie/Gregan some sort of Good Cop/Bad cop-Dream Team!

And yet I'm significantly more displeased with everything Latics than I ever have been? Stitch and Gregan would see us cracking on in no time. I assure you all, and when am I ever wrong? Infact, all things considered, I should be the manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That really gets me going. the last thing we want is to give the job to someone who doesn't want it. The town hall cat is oldham through and through and is demonstrative. Doesnt mean it would make a good manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest FyldeBlue Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Where does he rank on your all time favourite Managers list though? Great players do not necessarily make great managers, see Bobby Charlton, Alan Shearer, Tony Adams as examples, But you'll surely agree Carl that Andy never had a fair chance when Chris Moore was there, obviously he went on to Manage Barnsley and you know what he did there. At this present time with everything down at rock bottom, I can't see anyone else who the public would get behind other than Stitch personally, I think he deserves another chance with the TTA now running things.

Our squad isn't a BAD squad, it is how they play/perform on a saturday i.e. DON'T ATTACK that is the problem at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJ33 Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 If ritchie wasnt given time by the huddersfield fans then why would he be given time here. Some fans wanted Penny out in October. If results are bad for whatever reason we want the manager sacked immediatly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Stitch will get more time from the fans (who the TTA seem to take notice of), maybe stick 1k or so on the gate, he's got a team promoted out of this division and is available! Surely there can't be many more boxes to tick.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronnie Moore has also got a team out of this division, and look what happened there. Will agree that he certainly kept a team of kids and journeymen in this division, whom would have probably been relegated under any other manager at the time. But he has been out of management for approaching two years. Put club legend status aside, if we were talking about anyone else with the exact same record, I think the answer would be 'absolutely not'. If Ritchie was such a fantastic manager he would not have been out of management for going on two years. As was said elsewhere, its time to let someone else have a go at becoming a legend, rather than keep turning to old ones when the going gets tough. What if Ritchie does come in and doesn't work out, who we going to turn to next, Eyresy? Liddell? Crossley? Gregan? Stand by what I said, maybe ok as a short term solution but we need to look elsewhere long term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stand by what I said, maybe ok as a short term solution but we need to look elsewhere long term. We need a totally new approach, this team is so predictable and boring, even if we retain our status in division 1 the damage has been done. Penney is simply unpopular with the fans and like Ronnie Moore just doesn't show enough passion for the club and the job......Season ticket sales will probably dip to under 2000 next season and we'll be lucky to average 3500, especially if we go down. Ritchie may or may not be the long term answer but we need a quick fix now and he's Oldham through and through.... if he could keep us up this season and improve the entertainment on the pitch I'm sure, at the very least, it would impact on season ticket sales.

While being a club legend shouldn't be an essential piece of criteria for a management candidate, neither should it be completely ignored. Surely someone who's stayed in touch with the club, knows how the club operates and could keep the fans onside might just be the answer?

LeylandLatic Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 I don't think we should get rid of DP, however if we do make that decision then I'd look no further than Tony P. Agreed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
