Rowe found agreement Wheater didn’t. One plays one doesn’t. While the club shoots itself in the foot in the process. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Again- depending on your point of view. Do you think AL thinks he’s shot himself in the foot? I don’t. If you were a company owner, and some of your staff refused to help in a crisis and wanted their full salary. (As is their right) Would you be pissed off? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No it’s not, and it’s clear as day that if you say something he doesn’t like- you’re gone. Personally I don’t like his methods, he’s inherently divisive. That doesn’t mean he hasn’t got a point from time to time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I for one would be happy take that gamble a couple of times to see how it works out. When we had Hamer at right back and Jombati and Piergianni in the middle, that's when we were desperate for Wheater to come in IMO. With Clarke in the centre we aren't watertight by any means, but it's certainly an improvement. All things being equal I'd have wanted Wheater as our starting centre back this season, but four months down the line and short on match practice I'm not convinced that he would make a significant difference in place of Clarke or Pidge. We'd still have a midfield that offers limited protection to the defence (Ntambwe aside). 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Clarke and Piergianni should be competing for the 1 spot next to him. It's just bad management/outright incompetence that's caused this with him in the team we would be in contention with a play off place. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

People take it very personally when you offer a different view, particularly when it doesn’t fit the popular narrative. It’s just debate that’s all. 1 hour ago, GlossopLatic said: It wouldn't take him that long at all 2-3 weeks max of full training and game time.

(As am I) But they didn’t fall out over nothing they fell out over pay when covid hit. Before covid he played every game. Some players thought what was offered was reasonable - others didn’t. That’s life. What’s happened since is a stand off from both sides IMO- most of it laughable bollocks. Best for all if he moves on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

oafc1955 1,109 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Don’t shoot the messenger, but this morning I have been told by a club employee that Wheater has not been ‘exiled’ as reported in the Oldham Times. He confirmed that he’s back with the academy lads and that the sole reason he is excluded from training with the 1st team squad is because he is not yet at the minimum fitness levels required to be able to actively take part. I find that hard to believe as he’s been ‘out’ since late November, however, if he does have a back problem it can sometimes be a long road back. This maybe more bullshit but if true there is absolutely no chance of him moving on in this window!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So what level of training do the academy lads do if a 31 year old with a bad back is fit enough to train with them .....nobody coming through from there any time soon then Quote Link to post Share on other sites
