PlayItLivo Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Corney: "Well, he might be a risky appointment, but we managed to stick £10,000 on him at 60/1, we're drinking champagne for breakfast!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorpiofc Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 think we need to know what the criteria was to even get an interview, would have thought it would at least have been around experience but clearly not? Baffled! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostofcecere Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 (edited) It's a baffling appointment but It's happened now, so we all have to get behind him and the team and pray that we can win 5 out of our 10 games and stay up.

Baffled! So what was all that about only offering Dowie till the end of the season??Clearly it WAS all about the cheap option.Gutted.

lalalajpkalala Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 (passing over from the other thread) Here lies the rewards of a run to the 5th round of the cup. A lovely new table cloth for the boardroom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fervid Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I hope all the muppets on here when Dickov got the boot saying we don't want Dowie, Brown, Megson etc as our next manager are friggin happy now. We have ended up with a complete novice when the club is on the verge of going down the pan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaticsPete Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 (edited) He's here. Perhaps we should let style of play and results now be a focus. Edited March 18, 2013 by LaticsPete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh Heck C-Beck Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Question is, will the fans blame him if we go down?? For me we are likely to go down whoever is in charge so I would give him a chance to rebuild in the Summer if we did. Sadly, I think most will blame LJ so I can see us having to pay off another manager this summer when no one buys a new season ticket. Maybe this is why we have gone for a cheap option as the same outcome would be likely with an experienced guy at the helm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueInAus Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Well, it is the final nail in the coffin, as I suspect it will be for a lot of "fans" that have had enough of these brain farts from the Oldham board. Staying up until 4am on Sunday morning to listen to us get beat - with the audio dropping out all the time. This makes me think, why the hell should I keep doing it? Why should I pay for 2 season tickets even though I clearly don't use them? They kept Dickov for too long, cos he is a nice guy. Maybe this clown is a nice guy too. Is that the selection process? What a thoroughly nice guy he was, should we give him the job? 2 year contract! After Barry Owen was saying that they have to be careful about not paying out huge contracts when they have to be sacked. The guy would have been lucky to get until the end of the season, we give him 2 years! Rant over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4froale Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 good luck lee but this is absolutely baffling, i couldnt have made a more uninspiring appointment myself and i know some right idiots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have ended up with a complete novice when the club is on the verge of going down the pan. I'm still glad we didn't appoint Brown, Megson or Sammy Lee.

longtimeblue Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 2 years???? Dickov was still on a rolling weren't he? Even those who think we've taken the cheap option can't deny it's a bold statement contract wise. They obviously rate what they saw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudemedic Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 The best out of 120 applicants fcuk he must be a good bull:censored:er. When an estate agent, an ex-copper and a mobile phone salesman appointed him what did you expect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even those who think we've taken the cheap option can't deny it's a bold statement contract wise. They obviously rate what they saw But what can they possibly have seen? The guy has no track record. What is their criteria? Will you work for minimum wage and a bag of quavers? Ur hired! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will you work for minimum wage and a bag of quavers? Ur hired! I'm struggling to get my head round the appointment. It's not the route I'd have gone but I expected a deal to the end of the season. I know nowt about him either but, rightly or wrongly, he's got 2 years so he's obviously not just impressed at the interview but absolutely nailed it.

laticdickovarmy Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 13/8 to go down now, watch that plummet Tuesday v Hartlepool is the biggest this club has had this season and we have a bloke managing who has probably never managed a Sunday League game in his life Mind you if he wins tomorrow he will be heading the right way to win the fans around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
