It was interesting when she said ‘he doesn’t need the money’ we often say- why would anyone take the job. . But actually they’ll always be takers. It’s could be- Earn a few quid Your first crack at management. Your in last chance salon Or even (as in Curle’s case) I don’t need the money but it’s better than being sat at home doing nowt.

I am sure every manager changes things to their way and looks to improve things. He was nothing short of terrible, his win percentage, brand of football and formation proves that.

Out of all those reasons to be a manger, that last reason you stated is one I would stay far from. He will say he gave it his all, and people in that situation always do. But in the back of their mind, they know they don’t need to push that extra yard or work that little bit harder. A huge generalisation admittedly but he’s managing Oldham.

Professional pride etc. But when it’s your 7/8th crack at doing the job, and people keep telling you to change 3 at the back. . . No wonder he allegedly told fans to fuck off.

Frankies6 Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 We actually stand a chance of staying up now he's gone . I'm not interested on how accommodating he was around the training facilities or how polite he was or that he was doing latics a favour by being our coach , I'm judging him on his sub standard performance in charge and it certainly warranted him being fired.

Its easy for people to slate fans for their opinions on tactics and formations just because they have never played the game at a professional level, I haven't but played many games since being old enough to kick a ball upto about 42. We fans can see things that need changing but I imagine coaches and managers alike don't want to change things because they are to stubborn to or just set in their ways.

Stainrod Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 'Curle oversaw just 40 matches, meaning not a single one of the last 14 permanent appointments at Oldham have reached the 50-game mark. This dates back to the exit of Lee Johnson (103) back in February 2015'. Commentary from the latest betting odds. Damning isn't it and evidence of very, very poor ownership.

Looks like Selim has been earmarked for the job from day one. Likely to be Almo's worst ever decision which is some going!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
