I think he’ll struggle or be nothing more than ok. He won’t get anywhere near the Money Abdallah threw at it for the first few months, and the ‘exciting football’ literally lasted for six games. His constant whingeing and excuses began to grate very quickly. Did he have issues to deal with- yes. But what lower league manager doesn’t? As a comparison- I’ve not heard Bunn mention once that his number two has been sacked, despite the fact it must be killing him- It’s called professionalism. Ritchie struggled with that. Swindon have a got a manager who flatters to deceive IMO. Will blame ANYTHING he can for a defeat, or loss of form. He will demand Swindon ‘some him their ambition’ by signing players they can’t afford because he can’t get a tune out of what’s there or more likely who he’s already signed. As singe says- look at his first quote on signing. . . Enough said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to play attractive football, but I learnt from my time at Oldham that’s not always achievable with the pitches in the lower leagues, so it’s important we can adapt our style to the conditions as and when we need to. Instead he said My first job at Oldham was going fantastically well, but the pitch deteriorated very badly, and I had to change the way I played. One sounds positive and ready to learn from mistakes. The other sounds bitter and resentful, and accepts no personal responsibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just, as L1E says, learned a lot , tricky time, first job etc. And for 3 reasons 1) The pitch is always the same for both sides 2) Everyone's cut up somewhat after the weather we had. 3) We also played away from home, no change in tactics there. 4) He is admitted he can't scrap for a scruffy win, every team needs to do that.

L1onheartNew Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Some of the football under Wellens was the best i have seen from an Oldham side in years. He will not be anywhere near as hamstrung as he was here. Tenner going on Swindon to go up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The football second half of the season was us shambolically playing long ball to Doyle with our best playmaker stuck out wide not being involved.

Yes but with the squad available we should have been able to conjure the extra point required, whoever was in charge. So many mistakes by managers, players and directors ensured teams of lesser ability but more professionally run are now in a league above us.

If you can’t even motivate your players to win just one bleeding game out of the remaining 8 crucial fixtures, then football management is not for you. Just my opinion. I hope he falls flat on his cocky face at Swindon and fails miserably. Like someone pointed out elsewhere FB has it worse and isn’t making excuses to the press etc. I respect Bunn for that , whether I’m a fan of his or not. Get on with the fucking job in hand !
