Macca Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 If he's appointed will have to see how he does. I just want someone who knows what they're doing on the training pitch and knows how to get them well organised for a match. Someone who will work very hard for the club won't necessarily be good enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horlicks Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 I am willing to give him a chance and the reports coming in sound positive, plus if he does well in six months time we will get some undisclosed compensation when we let him leave for one of our League One Rivals.

PlayItLivo Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Endorsements are worthless. Proof will be in the pudding, let's just get on with it. The manager and the club have a heap to prove. Let's see if they deliver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaddy14 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Sound like a great choice, good coach with an awareness of the level of players we can actually secure rather than an unrealistic wish list. Hope he can bring If this is confirmed, congrats to the club after the money grabbers, Shez and Evans did their respective runners. Running any business (what Latics if after all) on a shoestring is tough and at least the club has kept quiet despite all the rumours running around about all the potential candidates. No good business is domne through social media or the Chron! Lets hope it is confirmed and then the new boss and his team, now Shirtliff is going back to USA with family, can get started with the squad, new and young!

kowenicki Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 People comparing this man to kelly are being ridiculous. Im quite happy with the team management set up going in to the new season. Just the small task if getting some decent players in now of course. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robboman Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Just been told off an older Oldham fan who I met through work today that when Shirtliff went in to sign his contract they'd docked his salary £5k Don't know the guy like, just putting it out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We knew this a couple of months ago. He's just been filling in until we sign a new manager. The announcement over the weekend was just to stop us from panicking. I'd like to thank him (again) for helping us out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
