League one forever Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 I think we’ve lost sight of the basics. Sack the stench. Employ good people. Engage with fans. Don’t create unnecessary shitstorms.

latics22 Posted July 1, 2022 Author Share Posted July 1, 2022 It’s great we have got rid of AL but I want to win games and be exciting and spend money. Don’t want to tread water being a well run club… boring. Give me some excitement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously we don't want to make daft signings like that but I'd like to think that we can give John Sheridan a relatively competitive budget for this level and let him get on with it while the new regime fixes all the of the pitch stuff. We should be better geared in 12 months time granted but even a moderate recruitment budget could see us challenge the top 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to the extent where Wrexham are currently but to a level that sees us compete with the top 7 clubs it won't take that much of a shift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's amazing how some folk can manufacture a doomsday scenario before they have confirmed who the new owner actually is.

It's because Shitpeas was all over this season preparing himself to Billy Big Bollocks his way around the National Leqgue grounds as the self appointed CEO of OAFC that he thought he was. I'd be very surprised if he is seen at a match again and neither will Birkett as both are likely to get filled in, I'm not condoning that but it is highly likely that both will get weighed in at some stage given the hatred towards them.

There were several occasions since AL bought the club that had me hoping it would now turn out ok. My complete loss of faith in the current regime happened after the Paul Scholes debacle. I understand fans that will never boycott, that is there choice not mine, I have not spent a penny on anything club related since then and wont until ALMOBOFO 2 of my 3 sons have attended some games and will probably continue to do so, like I said it’s their choice. I will always love Oldham Athletic though. I also appreciate the work put in by numerous fans in their efforts to get this current regime out. Thanks Here I go again ……Hope returns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzlatic Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Any new owner shouldn’t be coming out saying they’re aiming for promotion. I’d like them to come out and say they’re going to invest time and money in the people and infrastructure of the club so that it is able to compete at the level above where we are now. Would be good if they gave specifics too so they can be judged on their actions rather than the sort of vague promises we’ve been fed before. If they get that right then income will go up, better players and coaches come in and promotion looks a lot more likely. Chucking a couple of million at an immediate promotion push then everyone shitting the bed if we’re not top by Christmas isn’t the way to go.

Midsblue Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 For me, deep pockets means nothing. Throwing money around doesn’t prove success. Restoring the harmony between club & fans whilst stabilising the club is more important. The thought of having our club back, removing the rot & some positivity around the place is a great feeling! Someone who cares, unites as many fans as possible and boosts attendances is what’s needed. The actions of the fans over the last few seasons demonstrate how passionate we are and someone coming in, embracing those fans and recognising how crucial the fans are will help rebuild our wonderful club. Getting 3k through the door each home game is what’s needed to stabilise our income and we build from there. Granted results are needed on the pitch but consolidating this next season is key. Stop the slide. I can’t wait to return to BP after my self imposed exile these last two seasons. Packing those away grounds, cheering on our team alongside a few thousand fellow Latics fans will be a wonderful feeling. It’ll be weird being one of the big boys in our league for once.
