I'd hate to see fans turn on Sheridan but it would happen because he's no good. Make the decision now and make it a proper clean slate. I’m not disagreeing with your logic, (which makes a nice change) but your point is largely moot because there is no way the club will get rid of him.

Whelan was announced MOTM in our horrendous 0-0 draw with Rochdale last season and as it was announced the ball bounced off his shin and out for a throw which a 9 year old would be embarrassed about. We could have signed Big Mo from Eastenders and I wouldn't be sorry at letting that guy go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz_Oafc Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Over to you Frankie boy, Loosen the purse strings for 3 or 4 decent signings and we'll all be on board HMS piss the league. P.s... Sheridan's blue white army 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleetwood Blue Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 We looked unorganised and was easily outplayed by a team from the conference north, it’s a week away from the season opener and there is no chance we are going to bring in another 3/4 players that we need before then and throw them straight in.. Unfortunately we have a lot of players in that squad that arent up to scratch and that seems harsh saying that as we’re only in preseason but we look poor.. I wonder what Joe Royle thought watching that standard of player in an Oldham shirt.. Roll on Torquay next week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yarddog73 Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 We have a coach at the club who I idolised growing up, probably one of the most devastating wingers of his time, what does he see in Jack Stobbs? That goes for Joe in the stands he brought in some donkies in his time but he soon worked it out and moved them on, is it just a body till we bring someone in? Every pass he makes goes backwards if not inside to a centre half, he can't beat a man, won't risk taking one on and scores precious few, I'm sorry for signalling him out but he's just not kicked on and isnt good enough, it's as simple as that really. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whittles left foot Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 1 hour ago, SweeperKeeper said: Recruitment has never been Shez' strong point, going off his previous stints here and elsewhere. Even so, the only circumstance we should be thinking about replacing him is if we are in the relegation zone with a few weeks to play. We need to try and build a Latics culture and Latics style of play, and that will take time. So how you gonna do that if he is hopeless at signing players on your own admission? And those circumstances you mention are exactly what happened last year-and look where we are now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he needs help with recruitment. Doesn't necessarily have to be a 'Director of Football', but if we are really trying to make a new long-term start then we need a new long-term appointment in charge of identifying and signing talent.
