Gaz_Oafc Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Why wait till the end of the season for Yates? Surely it would have been more beneficial to give it him a few weeks ago? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz_Oafc Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 A few posts from Cheltenham's forum when he was sacked... "He will get a managers job and I wouldnt be surprised if it was in League 2 and reasonably soon, 5 years is a long time to hold down a football managers job these days, and I wouldnt be surprised if he does well it was just that the love affair went stale here." "Think he'll resurface in the conference but perhaps a league two club would take him, maybe even a cash strapped league one side." "He was the right man at the right time to give the club some TLC and did well to keep us up. However, losing in the play off final with a team good enough for automatic promotion was down to his tinkering, and proved he was only a middle of the road manager. The following season was poor to watch, and after we lost to Northampton, from there the whole thing fell apart. I don't think Yates had the quality to get us over the line to a promotion, but I think we would not have gone down either - he is better than that. The ambition of the board Is clearly to be better than middle of the road, they have taken a big gamble, and I hope it pays off." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Experienced lower league manager vs inexperienced coach who took a pay cut to work for Latics. Edited March 29, 2015 by opinions4u Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I suppose I'm looking at it as if we're paying Holden a managers salary (which we're not I suppose) But if we were to appoint Mark Yates it can't be on anything more than a few peanuts can it?

NewBlue Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Why trust Rodgers or Giggs? There is only private interests to be gained. Their vested interest certainly isn't with Oldham Athletic. Yates would be underwhelming but that's not to say he can't succeed. I won't write any manager off until they've been given a chance. The worst managers have had success and the best managers have failed as well. Management is situational. One thing I do worry about though is that we have a few players who may be sought after or could consider leaving in the summer, and Yates isn't a name that would make you think your club has ambition.

Any manager who can get the best out of average lower league players on a below average budget is worthy of consideration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Sinnott Posted March 29, 2015 Author Share Posted March 29, 2015 Didn't Kenny Dalglish help Johnson get the job here. As long as we don't ask Joe Royle for advice.

SavageTheBeast Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Another manager jumping on the I can't get a job because I'm black campaign. The manager is John Barnes who was awful at Tranmere. do people believe that they are not given a fair chance because they are black?

jsslatic Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Barnes is talking out of his arse. He had two jobs and was :censored: at them both. Ince was given plenty of chances. Curle failed at Notts County and is back in work at Carlisle. Powell was sacked at Charlton and reemployed at Huddersfield not long after. Hughton hasn't struggled for work after sackings. Of the admittedly few black managers in recent years, the only two I can think of who haven't got back into work are Barnes (after two chances) and Kiwomya. I'll stand corrected if there are more.

josh_latics Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 It's a real setback for the black community that those who are given a platform to speak about the issue of there being so few black managers are tools like Sol Campbell, Paul Ince and John Barnes. They do more harm than good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryBosch Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Any manager who can get the best out of average lower league players on a below average budget is worthy of consideration. Did he though? I don't want a manager who was given, a nowadays unheard of, 5 whole years at a League Two club and didn't get them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
