Couldn't agree more but after the years of shit and relegations we have put up with, it's no wonder we are getting nervous, yet again. It has to stop somewhere and now is as good a time as any.

I don't think there is anything wrong with having faith, different people have different breaking points and maybe willing to stick through thick and thin. Me, I've now reached the breaking point. #overtoyoumrunsworth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you taking our 36+ squad on a bonding exercise may be bit too expensive - unless it's running up and down Tandle Hill every day for a week. Ah, Tandle Hill is the Tandle Hill Tavern still in business? Hope so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if we were to get relegated, they wouldn't get rid of him... If that really is true then it implies the Rothwells and Royles are not so very different to ALMOBO, at least when it comes down to what really matters - results. So you’re making a very serious claim there. Far more serious than your regular forecasts that we’ll beat the latest sacrificial lambs to take the field against us, forecasts which rarely turn out well. I think you should spell out exactly why you regard DU as unsackable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Others think there's no evidence he's up to it. Let's see what the fans say, Clive... ...I genuinely believe that it's both! We've put the coaching infrastructure in place that is tailor-made for him and to sack him off so soon would be such a waste of time and finances. Yet he's got to show that he can actually manage the team during those 90 minutes so we can properly get behind him! I've voted to give him time, but it's based on blind faith.

Or, alternatively, they're acknowledging the dreadful team he's had at his disposal, the decades of mismanagement the club has suffered, and the fact that most of his best players have been injured for a lot of that period. And maybe also that he's in his first permanent managerial job, has brought in an entirely new coaching team, and has been here for less than two months... It's been poor so far, no doubt. But I'm far from convinced that sacking the manager after 8 games is the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritchierich Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 I think we have got ourselves into a right mess here. I started to worry when I heard Frank say Latics was costing him £12-£13m and there was no money for players so it would need other investors/partners….I’d love to know where that money went but no doubt most of it went to that scumbag Blitz who has been the architect of our destruction from the start. I really can’t believe how bad the decision making has been regarding the on pitch “investment”, we appear to have one of the largest squads in professional football and yet can’t string 2 wins together in the 5th tier My optimism since the takeover has pretty much evaporated and I fear with Unsworth in charge of this squad we are headed for relegation again I’ll be at Maidstone next week but struggling to expect anything other than a turgid defeat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm far from convinced that sacking the manager after 8 games is the answer. Or alternatively, he’s been given everything he asked for- including a back room staff that must be the best in league and 7 new signings. Fans then fall back on the past, which is completely irrelevant to his tenure. He has taken over at a time with fabulous owners, the club in midtable and struggling with a limited squad. He has since publicly lambasted said squad weekly, (showing an astonishing lack of self awareness) demanded a whole new team, taken us into the bottom four, and shown no ability to improve players. The team show no one iota of improvement, and fans still cling onto to the idea that if he signs another ten players (on top of the 7 he already has) we might come good. When they say this, they completely ignore the fact he had been slowly changing the team for weeks with the same results. 1 win in 11 isn’t poor, it’s diabolical and absolutely convinced that sticking with him will lead to relegation.

Check out the team performances and results since our alleged manager took over - performances which, he doesn't seem to want to take any responsibility for. Now that's slightly depressing..

Think you are probably right given Groco 510 has the shares in Oldham Athletic and the 2 people with significant control in Groco 510 are Luke Rothwell and Susan Schofield.
