oafc1955 1,059 Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 We haven’t heard a tap from the guy for a good while. He needs to sell some season tickets. He needs to outline the ambition of the club and get the fans back on side. We have a completely new slate with a new manager and a new squad to assemble. If he apologises for a disastrous 2 years and outlines an actual plan going forward then with a good start to the season he has a last chance to turn things around! What he says tomorrow could make a big difference, I’m hoping it will be an unusually positive interview. If he comes out with the slowly slowly bollocks he’s fucked!!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's because he was his Assistant at both his clubs, more than ITK. The Bulgarian club is owned by a Dubai investment fund.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Crusoe 1,477 Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 So long as Feeney is a better assistant than goalscorer, fair enough. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bristolatic 2,837 Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 I'm a better goal scorer than Feeney, and I never played anywhere except in goal. And I'm about 35 years older than him, as well. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chaddy14 58 Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Welcome to Latics Harry. Good luck in your new coaching role and like the few signings so far, especially Piergianni! Looking forward to some more to boost the squad. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
