philliggi Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 It's been muted in another thread that fans are quick to show their feelings towards the players and coaching staff so why is there nothing in the direction of the board, and specifically corney? Apathy is the word thrown about currently, is it this or is it that too large a percentage of out fan Base are scared of life without corney? The fear of the unknown? This imo is going to be the death of the club so we as fans need to be far more vocal and visual about just how much we hate what's going on at our club. Why are we not seeing the sheepfold lane protests, the "get out of our club" chants or the fierce arguments that broke out near the directors box when Peterborough stuffed us? Now I know some of you will condemn the thought of protest chants towards the board during games but quite frankly that's your opinion. Go start another thread about some happy clapper tripe if ya want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckshawlatic Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 It would help if he was actually here to hear it - he's lost all interest and leaves the day to day running of the club (term running used in the loosest sense) to his absolute woefully inadequate minions Owen and Joy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigfatjoe1 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 We need a viable alternative.Is there one? Not that i can see. That's why i'm apathetic. I also agree that his absence doesn't help. There's always a flurry of activity when he returns, and then back to nothing. He needs to appoint both a chief exec and a manager with bit of passion and zeal and a lot more intelligence than the current collection of amateurs. Neither Owen nor Dunn or in any qualified. Nor do they inspire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petelatics Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 I do think that some sort of protest us required unless we want to see our team in League Two. We might not be able to get rid of Corney but an experienced manager would help our cause and unless someone new comes in before January then we are stuffed!

piglinbland Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 No surprises at Bramhall Lane on Saturday. All I saw was two poor teams trying to play in a strong cross-wind. The spectacle could have been worse, given the conditions. I've seen us lose countless ties in this manner over the years. There was no mutiny in the (at times noisy) stand, only the odd 'for :censored:'s sake...' when a pass went astray, the team acknowledged the fans at the end and the fans in turn applauded the team (albeit subdued applause). There was no lack of effort that I could see from the players, they gave their best - as demonstrated by Winchester's frustration at the final whistle. Likewise, I found nothing unusual in Dunn's tactics (given the players he has at his disposal). We were beaten by a classy finish by Matty Done, otherwise there was very little to choose between the two teams. What surprises me is that people are so outraged towards the club when all we do is ply our trade at the level we are at. If throwing tantrums on message boards and calling for the boards head would achieve anything, then fair enough. But it doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBigDog Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Why don't we all get behind the team for the whole game on Saturday instead? I'll be travelling up from darn t'sarf with a fellow Oldham fan and I will be happy clapping my way through the match. Go on you know you want to don't you? Smiley winkey thingy etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be careful what you wish for people... Clutching at straws for a use for Dunn I see, how many directors have been appointed to the board in the past 12 months? Surely one of these should be stepping up to the plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely one of these should be stepping up to the plate. Wasn't one appointed specifically for that? Did one of the BBC phone ins with Corney I think. Presume he's not achieved anything yet though?! Edit: just seen deyres post... that's the guy. All sounded very positive when he was first introduced, not much since.

Emcee Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Whilst I will agree with not being happy with the league position my club is in at the moment, do you really think abusing Simon Corney will help! Whether you like it or not the guy puts his hand in his pocket every month and subsidises the club. Do you really want to piss him off enough so he may possibly walk away or stop putting money in every month? Where would we be then? - skint and in administration! Yes he does make mistakes but until someone else wants to subsidise our club, we need him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristolatic Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Where and how do I start a "Happy Clapper" thread? I've read so much negativity and "sack every bugger from God himself to the tea lady" recently, I've forgotten how top be positive. I need help. * Cue helpful comments along the lines of "there's nowt to be positive about". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That he's said a number of times a bus could hit him tomorrow and the club would continue without much disruption... (I've put it in bold as there seems to be far too many who fail to compute this) So...yeah...maybe he's putting something akin to a bus fare into us....
