disjointed Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 If the owner pays off the EFL loan and gets a couple of players in, ie a striker, and removes Mo from his post, I'm in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc1955 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 IMO we should be in whether or not…Shez has made the effort the least we can do is give him our full backing at the games. No matter what happens over the next few weeks, hopefully, these ’s are not going to be here much longer. Whether they pay the EFL loan off or not we have to try and stay in the football league somehow and if fully supporting Shez & the team is the only way we can help then so be it! Their time here is all but finished and the job is almost done. A few good crowds at this stage won’t make much difference to them financially but could have a massive influence on our results. If the worst happens and they are still here in May we can renew our protests next season, hopefully in the same division!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If supporting the team now is the right thing to do then was it not also the right thing to do in August? Dizzying amount of u-turns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been protesting under the headline 'sell the club' and 'get a proper manager' if we don't go now after they've said they're selling up and brought the manager we wanted then what are we protesting? Sheridan has come in on his own accord for next to nothin wages when he didn't have to just because he loves the club. Don't no about anyone else but I'm not gunna shove that back in shezs face and say thanks mate but all ur sacrifices aren't enough for me to come and support you. I'll be there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans insisted the boycott was about the owner, not the results. Last time I checked Abdallah was still the majority shareholder.

Bigtic1975 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 It's quite simple if we have latics in our hearts (I do) then rain or shine I'm there supporting the players even though they may not be good enough but I still go and cheer them on and always gave almo rock all so please people just pack the park for possibly our final swansong in the league and if our mercurial manager pulls off the impossible I'm the first buying the drinks!!

Of course bad results are a part of the problem but bad results have been a by product of this regime ever since they arrived. They were given plenty of grace and leeway and it’s taken 3 years of a downward spiral on and particularly off the pitch for fans to take action. Due to fans pressure over the last few months thankfully they’ve indicated that they’re selling up which is a result the protests were trying to achieve from day one….you’d have to be a lunatic not to be ecstatic. It’s almost job done now but we need to stay up if at all possible and bringing in Shez gives us the very best chance of staying in this division and being under new ownership next season. That’s the only reason I’ll be returning to Boundary Park from next Saturday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzlatic Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 It wasn't just about the owner leaving, it was about wanting the owner to change his ways and run the club better - that was always going to be the quickest route to things improving. The problem was that never showed any signs of happening, so a sale seemed the only way for change to happen. The owner has changed, potentially. He's said he'll listen to offers for the club and he's made a managerial appointment that fits with the short term need to stay up and is popular. I think that's quite a big thing for him. Whenever anyone has been popular they've been pushed out... Clarke was never about him being too old, it was because he was too popular in the dressing room and with the fans. Byrne, Wheater, Murray and many others who've left have been too popular either with staff, players or fans. I still want to see him back up his promise to improve the squad with Shez making the calls before I'm convinced he's properly changed though. And Mo remains a huge problem of course.

andy_b_100 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 This is how I take the situation ....... A former manager (I know 5 times) who this board have sacked more than once ... and more importantly saved us more than once during the last 10 years, publicly offers his service free of charge to the man ran him out of the club more than once in an effort to see his beloved Oldham stay in the football league. After a terrible performance and scoreline away at Harrogate town (ffs) he is announced that his offer has been accepted. For this to have happened and as quickly as it has some form of negotiation has taken place between the two parties that both parties are happy to announce. I have no idea what those negotiations were ... I have no idea if Mo will still medal.... I have no idea if he will be allowed any new players ... or who has been sold...What I do know is that time and time again JS has made substantial differences to mediocre players and made them fight. He may even play them in the correct positions and in a style they can appreciate and understand. Who knows !!!! but it isnt just another appointment is it ..... Im fairly sure AL would not have reached out to Shez ,,, would he ... even if so that is humble pie. I will get a ticket for Saturday and see for myself because suddenly I am interested in what happens over the next 5 or so days. The fat lady has not sang !!! Thats enough for me #shezonahattrick?

redlion Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Well I'll be there on Saturday. If Shez can make the effort, it's the least I can do. It'll be my first visit since that shit show on the first home game of the season. It was that bad I can't even remember who we played or the score. My self preservation system has kicked in, erased it from my memory in order to preserve my insanity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
