Lee Sinnott2 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 I know it has been mentioned on the podcast thread, but I think it's worthy of a stand alone thread. He is absolutely deluded, isn't he...? https://pushtheboundary.co.uk/ptb-oasf-club-meeting-01-09-2021 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty_b_OAFC Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 a very frustrating read. Looks like no sign of things changing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Bosnian Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 What we expected really, he won't sell HIS club or remove his brother so we are screwed. Admin and/or Non-League beckons, what a sad state of affairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Pyro No Party Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Disheartening isn't even the word. Unless some miracle happens, the end feels very nigh. Quote Obviously, it was incredibly frustrating to hear that the gravity of the situation wasn’t felt by the owner and that the feeling of anger was mainly down to results on the pitch. We explained that poor results is something we are used to, but it has never deterred fans from attending games and has never led to protests like we have seen recently. We tried to explain that this is NOT about results and even if there are 4/5 consecutive wins, it wouldn’t absolve the club of its behaviour off the pitch. By the same token, poor results on the pitch don’t define how we as fans feel (albeit, when staring at the trapdoor to non-league, we can’t afford to be complacent). .. The role of the sporting director was discussed and that to make a decision in the best interest in the running of the club and to send a statement of intent, would be to remove him from his role and let the current manager have full control over the playing side of things. It was made clear that this wouldn’t happen and that the chairman is happy with his performance. We feel that for numerous managers to face the axe while the Sporting Director remains in place, amidst our poorest recruitment in living memory, gives the impression that he has security of tenure. This is obviously a valid concern for both ourselves and for supporters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnthonyOAFC Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Hello all. I haven't posted on here for a long time, nor have I been to an Oldham game for a long time. The last one I went to was the first game of the season vs Oxford in August 2017. It really is a sad state of affairs what is happening at our club. It doesn't look like it's going to change either. I fully support the Lads and Women running onto the pitch. I also support those who choose to stay away. I'd love to see an organised protest on a bigger scale though. I'm just fed up. I really am. I want our club back. All the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ritchierich Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Morallee made his views clear on Talksport the other day and gave us an insight into his personality. Any lingering sympathy for the owners position I had pretty much ended when I head that w***er talk about our club and our fans the way he did on national radio.

south east latic Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 If the meeting went as I have inferred from the updates this morning, it only goes to re-affirm that the time for action is now. The Athleticos have made a great start. A large-scale, organised protest both before and during a game (have seen Hartlepool at home suggested due to the acknowledgment it may get from Jeff Stelling) should be the next step IMO. I’d hope everyone with an affiliation to the club who can get to BP would do so (at least for the pre-game bit). ALMO have had enough opportunities to change. Enough is enough.

Ackey Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 I would have hoped that this went without saying, but please avoid making threats to try and find the homes of OAFC employees, no matter how much you may or may not consider them to be in jest.

In a funny way AL is correct, as was Simon Jordan.....ok bare with me!.....IF we were near the top of the table there would be less dissent but they are completely missing the point that we are not, won't be and can barely even remember the last time we were properly in the top half of a division, let alone in the playoff hunt. We believe that being bottom of the entire football league is a symptom and an inevitable outcome of their stewardship of the club, many on here predicted it years ago and here we are.

We believe that being bottom of the entire football league is a symptom and an inevitable outcome of their stewardship of the club, many on here predicted it years ago and here we are. I’d like to think our fans would protest and boycott like Blackpool did if we were top. However in the context of AL’s current rating amongst fans we clearly wouldn’t. We have a way to go in clearly and concisely diagnosing the issues with AL (beyond failings on the pitch) articulating them and securing a sufficient consensus. Until we can do that, a protest is going to be half baked in my view. God how I wish he would behave as badly as the Oystons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
