Ryan Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 I cannot fathom why 90% (Twitter poll) are saying they’d break their boycott for this. What exactly were you boycotting over? If it’s the owner, how does this change anything? Don’t get me wrong, I’m buzzing with Shez back. In all honestly I feel it’s a few games too late as 7 points is a huge gap, but I’ll probably make the effort to go to a few aways between now and the end of the season.

Serious question. Well Abdallah has finally acknowledged his ownership isn’t working, isn’t wanted and that he’s now willing to sell. That feels like big change from the previous noises coming out of the club. We haven’t had a home league game since he made that statement. And it came at a tricky time for the proposed Leyton O (h) protest as hard to reverse that communication to fans, so rightly was still going ahead. Getting behind Selim’s team was a tough ask. Clearly wasn’t an appointment that was working. Shez in charge will galvanise support. It’s an near impossible situation so now feels like the right time to assemble as a fan base (or tossers unite as fake Barry would say). Even ending in relegation, a reinvigorated fanbase could help showcase new buyers a more positive Oldham. The Lemmies must know this, so a calculated move on their part. Just hope the intention to sell is genuine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look at it as we the fans wanted a significant sign of change from those in charge and here it is at last apointing a manager who has the potential to sort on the field out .would they have done this without lord John's offer who knows will it work who knows but it's something I'm willing to back for now .signes of mo sticking his oar in and its and it's back to boycott .its a significant lift to both the players and fans and to not back it and blow it would play right into Barry and the realistic groups hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serious question. Supporting the team in the next home game is not really different to a “pack the park” protest. We the fans have got our way in appointment of someone with the experience to manage a team, and who has an attachment to the club. We should celebrate that. Hopefully we can have a remote hope of staying up. If there is no sign of movement towards a sale going forward, we can all boycott again. A few more pounds through the turnstiles won’t fix ALs debts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As bad as our owners have been our protest looks to have had the desired effect. The club is up for sale and apparently there are several interested parties, for me the job is almost done. Relegation would be absolutely disastrous for this club and Shez is going to be counting on the fans to be the 12th man. There is absolutely no point to him coming here if we’re not going to back him!! Staying in this division is now the No.1 priority and IMO we should pack the Park home and away from now until May. There is no way back now for the Lemmies….let’s get behind Shez and his team, we can worry about next season when we know where we’ll be playing!!!

BP1960 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 I'd advise John to bring in a big centre forward like Beck of Harrogate who isn't catching the team at the moment. He isn't quick but is very strong and great in the air for getting on the end of Adam's crosses. Will come quite cheap too, initially on loan. Ok he's not the top quality we all want, but needs must Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dickie Down Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 As much as it would be comforting to think that John Sheridan has come back in preparation for the embargo to be resolved, a flood of new players chosen by the manager, a surge up the table, followed by a sale of the club to responsible and deep pocketed owners, I remain unhappily sceptical. Together with the announcement of the club being up for sale, the appointment of Sheridan seems a piece of opportunist populism which gets the supporters off ALMO's back for a while, brings in a few bob through the turnstile and kills the momentum of the protests. It will cost very little up front with any outlay coming in the unlikely event of us stopping up and bears the shadow of a dreaded red fleece. In my heart, I do want us to stop up, but what then? Same owners, same problems next season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
