He'll also bean inspiration for our youth players training with someone of the stature of Scholes. Pair him with an experienced assistant. Every appointment is a gamble but one that would generate interest for the club in a positive way doesn't harm. Dont understand the Salford conflict of interest comment. Loaning our kids to them will help benefit us. Training facilities perhaps? Again can only see positives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lookersstandandy Posted May 6, 2018 Author Share Posted May 6, 2018 So, back to the OP. Over 80% of those who’ve completed the poll say Yes to Lemsagam owing us a substantive address regarding his plan. I would like to call on Simon Brooke and the Trust to inform us of what they intend to do to secure said address? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamoafc Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 I’m surprised so many are blaming AL. Yes he has brought some of his own players in Nazon being one and without him recently we would have been down weeks before we were. Corney had us under a transfer and registration embargo which was a regular thing under him, which left us a week to the end of the transfer window to source players. For me corney takes a major chunk of the blame closely followed by wellens who’s decision making and formations/ selections have killed us the last 10 games with a team I think was far too good to go down. AL has a fresh slate this season coming, his staff, players, money. Let’s judge him from now and see what he has got lined up for us. Could prove us all wrong. I’m not saying AL is not completely blameless but harsh considering the state we were in when he took over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m particularly keen to hear from the Trust rep regarding how he intends to represent our wishes to our owner, such that we may better understand what his [AL] plan is for our club.

tGWB Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Our steady decline as a Club over the last 10 years has disguised the fact that we have slipped to the level of an average Division4 / League2 Club, financially and now on the pitch Latics average Home Attendances of 4,442 is at the current Division4/League2 average of 4,491, so we have absolutely no advantage of the financial benefits that greater home crowds have v other teams in the League and that's before we experience our crowds slipping further due to what standard of football fans are expecting to see. I would have thought Mr Lemsagam would have considered the prospects of relegation before he invested in the Club but I'd be amazed if he seriously considered the real likelihood of relegation due to us being in the same League for 21 years and our League position at the time and the playing squad available. I am not expecting anything from Mr Lemsagam soon other than maybe a 'holding statement' as he has a lot to digest regarding the significant reduction in £revenues being a team finding itself in Division4/League2.

Please could I also ask for an update - from the Trust - on the plan for Playershare, as I continue to contribute handsomely to this initiative - as an exiled northerner in the south - this was my way of contributing my season ticket money to the club, while keeping the money out of the hands of those I trusted less to spend it wisely. I’m very happy to continue to do so, so long as the money is going toward helping the club/manager/coach recruit players from which to assist us on the pitch. Many thanks in advance.

Worcester Owl Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Just seen the RW interview on the official site. He looks understandably depressed but sounds as though he remains in charge for next season. Already spoken to players he wants to keep/release. We will be a "big club" in L2 and the aim is promotion! He wants more character in the side next season. Confirmed Fane was suspended for disciplinary reasons. Can't make up my mind on this tbh. I admire the plan for stable management, if that is going to be the case. Guess he has to be given pre-season and the first dozen matches next season and see what happens. Everything is crossed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyboy55555 Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Honestly believe there is nothing to be gained by getting rid of him at this stage. He knows the club and the players he decides to keep. He's made mistakes yes, but lets give him a full pre season to bring players in and shape his own squad. You never know, with a bit of continuity we may start moving forward. Something we haven't done for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc1955 Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 If we get rid of the deadwood and recruit well then we’ll have as good a chance as any of achieving promotion. However, we will need a good start and with yet another ‘new team’ that’s not a given. If we have a poor start as in previous seasons it will turn toxic very quickly. There are a few clubs in the 2nd who will fancy there chances of a promotion push and it’s going to be anything but easy... There’s a lack of experience now right through the club from pitch to boardroom and it will be difficult to return at the first time of asking.

yarddog73 Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 I'd be happier if we appointed someone like Phealen if Wellens is keeping his job, too much work currently for one man and MP experience in the game would be invaluable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this all part of Leeslover's grand plan? Make the team as shit as is needed at such a low level that Bambi could actually return and look half decent (for 60 minutes! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
