beag_teeets Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Not got time to scroll through all the topics but just been told from one of Frankie Bunn's best mates who i work with that Latics now have enough in the pot to pay Penney off and the new Management team will consist of : Nicky Butt Frankie Bunn (Now sacked from Cov) Andy Rhodes (Currently at Sheff Wed) May we all pray for their souls. Butt - Manure scum - tactically naive, lost the dressing room. Bunn - Tactically naive, what does he bring to the party, too close to the players, too nice. Rhodes - Just what does he do with the keepers in the week? Tactically naive, good player, not a good coach. I'm not buying a season ticket next season (11/12 12/13 13/14 delete as appropriate) unless something changes, I'm not paying to see that shower of...... repeat ad infinitum.

LaticsAndy Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Merged. Not having a go at you here, Andy, but one part of your post stood out. We now have enough in the pot to sack Penney, but according to some we're on the brink of administration and can expect huge cuts in the playing budget next season. Things just aren't adding up. Like i said not got the time to scroll through really and only posted what i have been told by Bunn's best mate. True or not i don't know but wouldn't surprise me and he has no reason at all to tell me bull s**t! Things don't add up but tbh that's typical Latics.

Wow; I'll be amazed if this turns out to be the case - as I posted earlier; I thought it was 2 + 2 = 17; but now with the Penney announcement; well, guess we'll just see. I had posted a while back that I thought we should take a chance on an unproven young (ish) manager; I threw in a few; Gary Speed being one - didn't for one moment think about Nicky Butt (as he was still playing when & hadn't announced his retirement).........watch this space it is then...

ShakerT Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 I can't see it.................. an ex manure player managing Latics how absurd! oh hang on what was that bloke called again oh yes ANDY RITCHIE! (ok slightly different) If Butt is successful he will do for me! Although the thought of the legions of armchair manure supporters telling us hes good cos hes ex Manure can kiss my "butt" now! You are scum to support a club 30 minutes drive away with a club that is desperate for support on your doorstep .....................your all scum and not football supporters just glory hunters.. ........................phew!

To add fuel to this fire, Oaksey, I went out for tea last night at the Old Original and was given a cast iron guarantee that Bunn will be our manager next season. I told him not to talk silly cos we wouldnt sack Penney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Ritchie Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Ok then. Well if the person who complained, who clearly has read this thread to be so bothered as to complain, would like to come forward and tell me why it offended them, feel free to do so either on here or via PM. It was me who complained. as a man who was born with 9 legs and now only has three left I was very upset. Nicky Butt though. I've heard this doing the rounds. He's been managed by some good managers so hopefully could have learnt a lot. We need to take a gamble on an unproven manager because we won't be able to afford a good proven one or they will be at better clubs.

footy68 Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 But I heard Butt makes other Footballers intelligent. That comes from a member of his family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stitch_KTF Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 The only hope we have got of getting rid of Penney before the end of his contract is if he either goes by his own accord, or mutual consent, which would save us money and him the indignity of a sacking on is CV. I think Penney will be here to Christmas, minimum Again as I said, considering we could not afford an overnight stay at Yeovil or Southampton, its obviously alot of £££ to us. And where has this 60k figure come from? And is it just for Penney or the entire management team? As if its just for Penney then the actual figure will probably be well over 100k Like I said, you can afford to sack Penney if you think it will increase revenue sufficiently. Clearly TTA clearly felt they couldn't afford not too and have gone and raided another pot to issue him his P45. The £60k I picked up on here last night and it sounded reasonable. I'm not sure how pay-offs are calculated but I can't imagine he was even set to earn "well over 100k" even had he stayed and worked his final year. As for Nicky Butt, they guy I work alongside has been mates with him since infant school. I'll ask him to delve... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldhamSheridan Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 I take it he is also the butt of their jokes? If he can make other footballers intelligent he's likely to be working at the wrong kind of academy later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
