Ernie For England Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Have you actually seen the group though and the people signed up? I think you could probably count the number of people over the age of 15 on one hand I haven't actually looked at the group but yep i can imagine that being the case as it is with most of the "penney out" groups on facebook. Kids that no f*** all about football! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafcprozac Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 I accept that to achieve success it takes time and I expected to be no where near the playoffs this season. What I didn't expect was the constant :censored: that has been served up this season. The majority of signings have been poor ( loans included ) and no signs to encouage us that there is light at the end of the tunnel either. Whilst I understand that he has another 12 months on his contract you have to take a look at the bigger picture. Is penney the man for the job? well the 2000 fans we have lost in the 8 months this season tell you the answer you need to know. debating having my own protest march......from pub to pub and not bother going watching Penney's pillocks again. Bored with it, it really is that bad with me now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky_Latic Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 (edited) Drewy who set up the page. He's the lad who Gatesy told to shut the f*ck up and get behind the team against Brighton. He went like a terrified puppy and didnt say a word till he got back behind his computer. The lemon probably wont even be there at his own march. He'll be too busy drinking in the Carters with his 15 year old mates. The lads a tool. Edited April 2, 2010 by Rocky_Latic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leeslover Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 I hope someone videos this, nobody but them would realise they were on a protest, they would just think it was a group of kids being a bit noisier than usual walking to the game. It could become a classic of modern-art-house cinema. Are they protesting to themselves, or to the world, or is it all a dream? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drphibes rises again Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Penney is a good manager on paper when he has considerable backing behind him which is what he had at Doncaster and at Darlington for his 1st season. He has never achieved any sort of success when on a strict budget like ours. Bit like Talbot I think, success at Rushden with the Doc Martin cash but failure when the revenue stream dried up.

lancy lad Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 He has a contract, we may not all like it but he does. We need all the experience we can get in every quarter of the club for the next 10 games !! Letting, Penney, Collett and Gray go now isn't the answer imo. Once we know we are safe or ....... I cant say it, Then the club have to make the decision. On paper Penney is a good manager, some people perform differently under different pressures.

Latics4Ever Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Only just heard about the protest, but it seems more like a kiddie march rather than a proper organized protest. That said, I am genuinely amazed at the number of supporters / pro-Penney fans we still have! What the hell are you lot seeing that the rest of us aren't? The guy is a clueless pillock, who doesn't have a Plan A let alone a Plan B. He doesn't consider winning games all that important and is devoid of any emotion whatsoever on the touchline, preferring to play with his bollocks rather than try anything tactical to switch things around on the pitch! Love Oldham, Hate Penney - Sack Him NOW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love Oldham, Hate Penney - Sack Him NOW! Hey Latics4ever I am now totally indifferent to the man now TBH. But today the Club need the points to stay in this division - not the manager, or the players as they come and go but our club. If your going to BP today and just for today's game only if you can muster a song of support for the club that would be great. Well at least until we let one in I suppose So if you hear "we love you Oldham" do you think you can join in? If not I understand at least if your walking through the turnstyles then you'll do for me. The sun is coming out and we need 4 goals, "we want 4....." See you there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love Oldham, Hate Penney - Sack Him NOW! Silly talk IMHO Latics4Ever. Penney seems like a decent bloke who has been let down by his players and injuries. I would agree that he struggles with changing the team around and appears to be punching above his weight in League One but as for this season, the bigger picture is that a new manager would take too long to get to know the players and the upheaval of changing managers now would possibly kill off our survival hopes anyway.

Love Oldham, Hate Penney - Sack Him NOW! Well I can't see many pro penney posters on here even I want shot of him now and I back every manager. The reason being not his supposed lack of passion I don't believe if he started waving his arms up and down like a maniacit would necessarily make him a great manager its more to do with the quality of his signing, which apart from Pav Abbot have been a massive dissapointments. This has culminated in poor results that he has delivered and the football he has served up has been woeful, its embarrassing that in April we still haven't seen the scoreline Oldham 3 at anytime this season. Oh and the protest march will just look pathetic. Their is a time to shout and call for the managers head and that will be at the end of the game and if we have lost.

wardlelatic Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 there was between 20 and 25 fans at the Protest start venue today.

Love Oldham, Hate Penney - Sack Him NOW! Because many can see the problems at the club don't lay directly at the feet of the manager, and it would be pointless getting another manager in when in 6 months time the same accusations will be thrown at him when things don't go right.
