oafc_lover Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 If it is Holden, my season ticket shall remain at the club ticket office. Happy to spend money on my club but not wasting 90 minutes of my Saturdays watching that negative :censored:e! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceStationLatic Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I meant hasn't travelled to whatever meeting/talks it was as he didn't feel too great apparently, not that he hasn't travelled over here at all. I'm going to limit updates now to prevent misunderstanding/miscommunication via me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue_Guru Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Imagine of this is all a Corney story to try and sell a few more season tickets before the announcement of Yates/Holden! He's a clever bugger! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midsblue Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Didn't anyone ask if Dowie was in frame at yesterday's open day just gauge reaction from Joy et al? Yes I'll buy a £14k corporate box but can you confirm if Dowie will be manager? (wink thing) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losesome Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 My mate reckons he asked the question to a director and was told - "will have to wait and see but it definitely WONT be Holden" !!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I'd like that to be true, I can't imagine a director being that disrespectful to a current employee of the club while he's still in charge of the team.

MikeF Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 With any luck we will find out by Sunday, still hoping for Dowie, but will support who ever is the manager Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't blurted out in public , It was a whisper in the ear of somebody enquiring about Exec boxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but I wouldn't have thought even our directors would be daft enough to tell a fan that Holden definitely isn't getting the job, before any announcement. Unless of course Holden has already been told and is fine with it, which would tie in with the theory that the new man will be paraded in front of the fans on Sunday... I hope you're right.

Keepingthe Faith Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 (edited) As much as I'd like that to be true, I can't imagine a director being that disrespectful to a current employee of the club while he's still in charge of the team. Really, you can't think of a director of ours who only opens his mouth to change feet? Edited April 30, 2015 by Keepingthe Faith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisbrogan Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I'm going to limit updates now to prevent misunderstanding/miscommunication via me. To be honest,you may as well carry on with the updates. Plenty of sources on here have proven to be misleading in the past. I've noted a couple of inconsistencies with them but if that's what you're being told, post it. It's better than anyone in my office is coming up with.

oafc1955 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I asked 2 directors and Paul Whitehead and got no indications whatsoever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryBosch Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Yes but I wouldn't have thought even our directors would be daft enough to tell a fan that Holden definitely isn't getting the job, before any announcement. Why not? If it turns out to have been fact and makes a punter potentially willing to part with £14k for a box feel "special" he should absolutely do it.

Stevie_J Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Not buying that at all. I don't for a second want Holden in charge, but I can't see them saying that. They wouldn't think twice about saying it, if it sells a £14k box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc_lover Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 They wouldn't think twice about saying it, if it sells a £14k box. But did it sell the box? That's the big question. Your everyday Oldham fan isn't going to rock up, ask if Holden is in charge next season, then buy a £14,000 box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusoe Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I've been told things about signings by one of TTA in the past when they had no need to. Owners, directors, they'll gossip and leak info (or disinfo) just like anyone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc_lover Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 What I don't understand is in the article about the new stand in the Oldham Chron, Holden says there will be a meeting after the game on Sunday where everyone can air their views on how the club can move forward on the playing front. Does this suggest there will be no Dowie announcement before the game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeF Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 The way I read it was that was more to do with developing the Youth Players Still think we will know on Sunday the new manager Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midsblue Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 OK I'm bored now. Announce Dowie already so we can get on with planning for next season. Holden probably knows already that he hasn't got the gig and just keeping the seat warm for last game of season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some on here have always seemed to think the Official Secrets Act applies to the minutiae of the day to day running of a 3rd Division football club.
