Current manager doing what he is told.

Personally I like the new approach regardless of whose behind it, for me that  is irrelevant, no player or group of players is bigger than my club and I'm glad finally that we seem to be addressing the lack of respect some of our players seem to hold for the club. If they can't tow the line cheerio.

Not sure that is the reason for his departure, more a case of Clarke or Gerrard but not both.

I keep my dad informed of goings on at Latics that aren't in the public eye, such as Gerrard's alleged attitude to a family with young kids watching, and he mentioned something from when we'd just signed Graeme Sharp. Must have been a friendly, and Sharp was unhappy about something and started swearing his head off. Which, you know, would probably be less of an issue now but it's irrelevant to the story. My dad being my dad wasn't pleased about him doing this in front of my then-12-year-old sister, and said so as the team and Joe Royle were going off.

 

The next Junior Latics meeting, Joe recognised them when they went to get his autograph, apologised for the language, and said he'd reminded Sharp of his responsibilities as a role model and Oldham player!

 

As well as speaking to the kind of guy Joe is, it shows how important attitude was to him, and that it wouldn't be surprising in the slightest if Frankie Bunn has inherited that sense of attitude being important in his Oldham team.

If he does go there I’m having 20 quid on him being sent off in his first match back here. 

 

Doubtless he'll get booed to high heaven.

 

Which illustrates what an odd one he's been - he was a massive factor in us staying up twice but was shite third time round and will now only be remembered for that (and his off field shenanigans) rather than the very positive contributions he previously made.

Sharp? Swearing his head off in a family area? Never!

 

Watch this kids, this is how you knock United out of the FA Cup.

 

Oh fuck. 

 

What are you looking at little Johnny? What was that, shut the fuck up you little twat, it bobbled.

I actually don’t think he was that shite last season, at least when he was playing next to Kean Bryan
