Midsblue Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Nixon in The Sun today claims Paul Jewell coming in as Assistant to Wellens. Phelan's obviously got the experience of assisting Fergie over the years but Jewell, being a cheaper option, also has years of experience managing at this level and above including promotions to boot. Whichever comes in will be the seasoned head for Wellens, which he wants. That said, Richie is proving a good one with selection, tactics and effective substitutions. Looks like Harbins involvement is working too with us playing to the very end. This January is going to big one for our new owner too. Can he keep this team together plus strengthen a little further to give Wellens the best possible chance of success come the business end of the season?! Its been a long while since I've been so full of optimism for our club as I am this season. After 26 years supporting, I still have that voice at the back whispering "enjoy it whilst you can...the bubble will burst soon" so I'm hoping Lemsagam can exorcise it once and for all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diego is right, I know it's the wrong thread but if you can all help support playershare by using easyfundraising.org.uk it would help to give playershare a kickback. This was set up by a fan who post on here called Opinions4u and it's helped the cause massively.

I would hope common sense kicked in and some agreement was in place with both Wigan and Preston re Byrne and Doyle should the loans have worked out for both parties and fees assuming the players wanted to then sign.. But this is OAFC...... Loans clearly doing well and enjoying playing. Bryan is a bit different re wanting to have a chance at City even if unlikely it will happen anytime soon. Best way to keep all three is a great run up to January and them wanting to stay. Not being able to sign Doyle now with the way its going would be one of worst on pitch events we have had in many a year. Davies and Holloway need praise too but Doyle brought that killer goal to the team we have missed for literally years. His smile says it all really and cant think he wants to go back to Preston as hes had that learning of going to Cardiff and Preston and a rough patch. Obviously some club can offer more but its really up to Doyle and Byrne at end of day. Ripley is a great example, how joining Burton is helping his career beyond me played very little football. Wellens has done a fantastic job and Dan G a major contributor. Think Banks Flynn will be gone in January. Possibly Ruddy or Wilson back to parent clubs. The form that Doyle has been in will not see another loan move...if Preston don’t want him they’ll be looking to cash in and sell him to the highest bidder. His salary is a fair wedge as well and he could potentially command more now after his start to the season. A goal scorer like him could be the difference between promotion and not for some of the teams with larger budgets in our league and they’d be willing to chance it. The owners will certainly have to dig very deep to see him stay with us...let’s hope that have the £££ to do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryBosch Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 If Lemsagam hasn't got the money to do it, it obviously won't happen, but..... If it is doable - and Preston and/or Doyle himself aren't taking the piss with a fee or wages - I can't see how we could possibly put that money to any better use. He's 29 years old aswell.

I read an article 2 or 3 weeks ago (think it was in the Preston local rag) that basically said, despite his scoring run for us, he doesn't fit in to their style of play so it's unlikely he'll be back in the team there after his loan. Allowing him to play in the FA Cup for us adds credence to that theory. It went on to say that their preferred option now is likely to be selling him in January as we've made him a lot more marketable than he was in summer. May be buying him will be a realistic option for us if the takeover has gone through by then (we don't really know). Under the current regime it probably isn't as there are clubs with deeper pockets interested in him. Wellens made an interesting point about him in his post match interview on saturday, saying that strikers are happy when they are scoring goals and our team was set up for Doyle to score goals, but if he went elsewhere there's a high chance that he wouldn't be scoring as much in a team that plays a different way. On the takeover, there was a brief line in Moisley's programme notes on Saturday saying they were "hopeful it will be concluded very soon".

youngen Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Said all along, Byrne will end up back at Wigan, Doyle will end up at Blackburn or Charlton, someone up there who just want to get over the finish line. Then he will sit in their reserves again when they go up to the Championship. Bryan is our most realistic option for the end of the season, as City may like the way he is developing with us. Although again we may end up losing out if a Championship fancy him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafcprozac Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Apparently he turned Charlton down before he joined us as he wanted to stay in the north.

oafcprozac Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 As for Byrne Wellens carries weight with him - I’m not saying he’ll stay but for the first time in his career he’s playing regularly and is settled. Many stay clear of him due to his previously disruptive reputation if Byrne did go I have faith in Wellens to find a similar type Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
