If stories about Latics don't muster much interest from your wider audience, why did you choose to take it to your employers to publish in such a way that would embarrass the club in public and potentially harm our chances? If you simply wanted to enlighten Latics fans, it could have easily just been posted on here. How does the reporting embarrass the club? Its the actions taken that are being reported on that damage the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's up to his employer if it's published. As for his views on England he reported what he saw with his own eyes, nothing wrong with either in my opinion. Personally, I'd like to see Mike interview AL and put an end to all this aggro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you won’t publish your much vaunted “brass bank special” because your employer has no interest in printing it.... fair enough but this is slightly at odds with you second paragraph isn’t it? If you are ‘one of us’ then why don’t you do it as a retrospective piece and simply publish it to this forum for your fellow supporters to read? You honestly believe your last piece will help someone run a club better? How so? I doubt anyone is taking advice from a reporter on how to do anything...let alone run a business. Slightly narcissistic. ... and yes, we know your job is to post things that aren’t necessarily positive. You remind us regularly by doing so. Thanks.

After you where not allowed to join Coventry in January you where hell bent in not supporting the team and threw your dummy out of the pram. Looks like you have not learned your lesson of keeping your own council. Good luck to Mansfield with you playing for them they will need it because you are trouble with a capital T. You know what?

Seems a bit self serving to me. Undeniable cook ups but seems exagerated in the context of his denied move in January and the fact he's had 17 clubs. Criticising other player must go on all the time. Was there more than one meeting when a player was called out about a derogatory article? How often paid late? Pay some and not others though is indefensible. AL needs watching there are significant concerns but this is a re hash of what Wellens has said or he was one of the moles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josh_latics Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Ah come on. Davies is an experienced pro, who has played at some messy clubs (Bolton, think Barnsley weren't in great shape when he was there), for him to come out and say this is relatively significant. The pay thing will inevitably have a massive effect on players and their morale. Think Abdallah needs to be very careful, and those around him need to keep an eye on him...
