My opinion is that he can imputation great into the Club but my main concern is that should it not work out. Like Frankie Bunn and others I would hate to eventually see him leave with ill feelings The difference this time is, IMHO, he can dictate terms because of his personal wealth. He will stand or fall by his own decisions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Sinnott Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 He'll tell Lemsagam to stick it if he signs players he doesn't want or is told he has to play Johan Branger and keep Hunt on the bench. Looking forward to seeing how it'll pan out... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahhh, if that is the case there is every chance that he will beat Brian Clough's 44 day stint at Leeds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midsblue Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Do you think the club should jump on the Sunderland and Man City bandwagon with a behind the scenes documentary once Scholes takes over? Play this right and the club could become Football Manager in reality Some people can’t wait for him to fail. If he does, who cares? He’s the most interesting and exciting candidate we’ll have lined up. Secure some quality from the Prem and fingers crossed we start moving up that table and add a few hundred or more to the gates. Don’t even care if it’s United fans reminiscing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nohairdontcare Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I’ll be surprised if he lasts to the end of the season. But at the very least it’s going to be interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a thought...AL could have said a week ago from Dubai that he's getting the job on his return "meanwhile let me know your thoughts on the 2 new lads before we sign them".

The man has an affinity with us that is real. It is just as real as the affinity of any manager we have ever had, perhaps more so. He he must be able to use connections to get players and players will absolutely want to work with him. The man is a living legend in football and we should be grateful and excited that he has decided to finally take the step with us. Whilst Scholes was undoubtedly a great player, there are plenty of people who don't see a potential manager in him. He comes across as fairly dour, hardly Mr Charisma and his loyalties currently heavily lie with a club in the division below us. None of this means he won't make a good Latics manager of course, just as being a great player doesn't mean you'll be a successful one, as John Barnes, Chris Waddle, Tony Adams, Teddy Sherringham, Alan Shearer etc have proved. There's nothing wrong with people having that opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ncookie9 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Biggest positive of Scholes (potentially) getting the job, would have to be potentially less interference in the playing side from board level (which there seems to be from the outside looking in). Scholes will surely want reassurances in this regard and if they are broken, would simply walk. Lemsagam would then find himself getting some pretty bad publicity in national newspapers or on Skysports due to Scholes profile in the game I suspect. Confidentiality clauses aside.

Kusunga_Is_God Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I’m excited. There is absolutely no need for Scholes to come to bloody Oldham. He must be about 5x richer than our owner and his playing record speaks for itself. Hope it goes well and he gets us playing positive football with some decent loanees.

I was hoping he'd be in ASAP, 10 days leaves little if any time to strengthen and after Saturdays performance it would give the whole club a lift.

Dave_Og Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Times reports that he is expected to sign his contract in the next ten days and that he has told the owner that he will only do it if no interference in selection. Ten days is an age! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
