Boyyou Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Think defence is Curle's main concern. What about Cian Bolger? Turned down contract extension at Northampton where he was captain under KC. Could be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaticMark Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Curle could make changes to backroom staff, which could mean a reunion with Colin West, who was alongside him at Notts County, Carlisle United and Northampton Town. Simon Tracey, the chief scout at Northampton, is also a close ally of KC. www.theoldhamtimes.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's then up to the manager to go and have a look when the scout recommends a player Not bring in a bunch of players they have never seen play, for a manager to judge solely on how they perform in training.

Will you on pass my regards, and let him know normal bench don’t exist at Oldham. So if he can finish 14th it’s as good as a promotion else where.

Should of said bench mark - but then I think you knew that. . . If he’s good enough to sign an autograph for me, I’m sure he wouldn’t mind a little message as well- will you ask him to put- To LOF, I maybe the only manager under AL to win promotion at the time of my appointment, but I’m no miracle worker.

LaticMark Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Keith Curle Meets Fans For EFL Season Launch. https://www.oldhamathletic.co.uk/news/2021/august2/03082021-keith-curle-efl-season-launch-day/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritchierich Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Very interesting. In Summary: - We don't want many loan players, I am building a squad of my players, built in my image...super fit athletes with a winning mentality and chosen by me and me alone...I pick the squad, the team, the tactics, the half time snacks...everything. All is good on that front, please don't ask anymore questions about that, can we move on please - BamBam is the L2 Jack Grealish - Dearnley is indeed made of glass but is of Venetian Murano quality as long as he doesn't get smashed into a thousand pieces - Sheehan has already been smashed but we've taped him back together and hopefully no-one will notice and in any case he just wants to learn from me rather than hanging around some Premier League poseurs - The youngsters are too young and I've sent them to learn how to be men....except one of them thought it was a bit scary so has come back - Everything is absolutely fine on the money front although I have got the players to pay for the training facilities and their own kit...I've turned it into a fun game though so hopefully they won't notice - We may play well, we may not, we may score some goals, we may not, we may let some in, we may not - We may finish in the top ten, we may not, we may even finish in the playoffs....but we may not - and finally, thanks to the 16 of you for coming, we're very proud that Latics were the only club that managed to get every single one of it's season ticket holders to this special event Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Bosnian Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Good to know he doesn't want many loan players, I'd much rather build a squad of full-time players instead of the endless cycle of loanees. Aside from that, I wonder if Keef asked Dmaarms the twitter legend for his autograph when he met him today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankies6 Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 I dont blame him for wanting to move on from anymore questions about any interference from our exalted leaders. All in all seems like the meeting was very positive which is good to hear ,now proof will be in the pudding from Saturday onwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given we haven’t finished in the top half of any division we’ve been in for about 12 years I’d consider him the second coming of Joe Royle if he achieved it, which he won’t. I can’t think of anyone better, within our means, of giving it a go though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
