wroteforluck87 Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Martin Jol becomes the latest addition of obscure managers to "show an interest" in the Oldham Athletic job. Gattuso and Seedorf have also expressed an interest in the job in the not too distant past.. any other names we could add to the bonkers shortlist? I don't believe for a minute that Jol is seriously considering coming out of retirement to manage a struggling league two side but imagine his first impression if he came to FGR at home to get a feel of the place/job and hardly anyone is there because of the protest proposed by ptb.

UsedtobeWozzer Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Calling Martin Jol obscure is a bit harsh. I’d love to see him knock Mo out on the training ground though when he tells him to try a back 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longlostfan Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 I'm not convinced he has enough cash to run the club let alone pay the silly money wanted for the badge and ground. I am pretty sure he has the smarts not to invest in the current set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dickie Down Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 In the exceptionally unlikely event of Mr Jol taking the job, he would become the second former Ajax manager in the Latics hot seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlossopLatic Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Putting 2 and 2 together here and coming up with 50 but wasn't there a consortium of former Dutch pros looking to buy an English lower league club not so long ago? Personally I just think that this is a story that has deliberately been planted in the media to try and get some publicity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafc1955 Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 If, and it’s a big if…..Jol was genuinely interested and AL was open to him coming in it would maybe indicate he’s not given up on the club…..however, if that didn’t coincide with paying off the EFL loan and giving Jol a budget for the window it would be totally pointless!! Personally, like everyone else I think it’s just bollocks!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

latics22 Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Clutching at straws, he’s listed as a potential manager. So we assume it’s a consortium? Bit of a leap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaticMark Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 The only place I've seen this story is in The Oldham Times: "Now there is speculation that he (Jol) could end his managerial hiatus at Boundary Park following Keith Curle's departure." https://www.theoldhamtimes.co.uk/sport/latics/19742961.oldham-interest-former-spurs-ajax-boss-martin-jol/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He came back to Latics after a successful earlier spell and was a disaster in trying circumstances quite similar to nowadays. Happily the ownership problems were sorted, Jack was relieved of his duties, Jimmy Frizzell was appointed and we began our long march to glory. Jack Rowley is also the only known link between Johann Cruyff and Oldham Athletic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
