TheBigDog 1,617 Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Watching the way that both Chelsea and Arsenal play out from the back leaves me hoping that Kewell favours the long ball option Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stott182 22 Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Bring in players "we" want speak volumes, but atleast they aren't hiding the fact it isn't just down to the manager. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Never really liked him as a player though he obviously had a great spell at Leeds. The way he hid in that Liverpool win in Istanbul was incredible. He gets the same chance as everyone else though. Which means that the Oldham fans will give him until half time in his first match to impress. Missed you Kow. Hope you’re good? Surely we can’t judge managers on usual standards. (Even by owtb) We all know he’s gone by the 3rd game for wanting to play a left back at left back. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Iron Duke 70014 0 Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Warren Feeney was appointed manager of Bulgarian 2nd tier team Pirin Blagoevgrad last November recently bought by Dubai based owners planning new investment, The town is small. pay low wages and are not really competitve but they have a good youth policy and list Dimitar Berbatov as a former trainee. The standard at the top of the this league is Division 2 and the bottom is Norhern Premier League. Pirin are about middle league status and crowds are usually about 400/500 with only 2or 3 decent teamsin the league , My team overhere has just been relegated to this league FC Dunav so will keep a check on Pirin. FC Dunav last season waseven worse than watching Latics, last season i managed 7 latics games on my season ticket and honest it was better at BP. So not much to keep Mr Fenney overhere apart from they play in green and white Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Quote BBC RM Sport @BBCRMsport 23h Oldham owner Abdallah Lemsagam has told @BBCRadioManc he remains “committed” to the Latics. Lemsagam says Harry Kewell is the most accomplished head coach of his tenure - and this appointment represents the start of a new dawn that he hopes the fans will get behind. BTW it's about time the Club was referred to as Latics, not "the Latics"! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
