This year I felt we had a real chance of promotion but when your manager wants to "develope" a good young c.b into a right back you know you've no chance.

What do you expect him to say? 

"I'm looking for a new right back because the young lad who played there late last season, when we were getting decent results, is crap !!"

 

He probably is still looking or has got someone lined up.

People need to stop taking everyone he says literally. Last Q&A with Unsy and he categorically stated we weren’t singing Willoughby.

 

Chill the fuck out.

 

Oh yeah 

 

But you know to paraphrase Albert Einstein, never underestimate the stupidity of people.

 

Sounds like he's keeping tight lipped about signings right now. Probably wisely so.

Calling all fans to our Forum with manager David Unsworth. 
 

Ask whatever you want- and he’ll just make stuff up. 😂🤦🏻‍♂️
 

 

Absolute pointless exercise in having a fans forum if you aren’t going to be as straight as you can with fans. He literally said the opposite to much of his comments tonight, and when in front of the fans completely contradicts himself.
 

Comical.

Obviously still looking for a RB, hence the Ogle bid turned down on Scunthorpe official. Be surprised if we don't get one in and Sutton, who I think is a  promising talent, is our defence sub for RB or CH.

Fans aren’t stupid, they want to ask him questions to very obvious issues in the team or his own comments. 
 

Saying we’re not looking at loans when he has said several times he will be doing is disingenuous and patronising to his own fans. 
 

Saying Sutton is more than good enough for right back. Isn’t cute to protect a target. It makes him him look deluded or stupid.

Really hope you are right. And yes I understand he can't divulge targets but why not answer the question in a different way that doesn't wind everybody up?

He needs to show us he's learnt from last years mistakes.I suspect he hasn't As has been said before he thinks he is a mesiah when it comes to coaching but would can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear. Will is a promising CB not a right full back( ar the moment)

Exactly. 
 

But at a fans forum pretends like it isn’t an issue and deflects. 
 

It’s pathetic.

Again. Spot on. 
 

Is right back a target? 
 

‘It’s something we’re looking at, but if we have to go with what we’ve got for the time being, then that’s ok. Because I want the right person. 
 

That would have been fine. It gives nothing away, but acknowledges the question without making out its nonsense.

No Bob. 
 

I expect him to be honest about areas he wants to strengthen without talking absolute nonsense.

Top tip which has worked for me, I don't listen to him anymore and he has become far less annoying, contrary and contradictory waffle half the time - I get less offended now but you think he'd have developed a little bit of self awareness, obviously not.

It’s on twitter Monts. 

at 20:24 according to the Oldham Times

 

Q. when is a RB signing?

 

A. (Rhino) if the season starts tomorrow l'd be happy with Will there.. we will look at it when the opportunity comes but, at the moment, lm more than happy with Will.

 

 

 

thats the perfect response for me.

Absolutely nothing wrong with DU’s comment there, I agree. Some people really need to get a grip and calm down. How many weeks away from the start of the season again?

Said by whom? Where is your evidence that he thinks he is a Messiah (sic)? If he thinks that, bloody strange that he’s chosen to start his managerial career in NL don’t you think?

I’m surprised nobody has had a go at DU for failing to sign Kane yet. Slow and indecisive transfer dealing in my book 🙄

l think some people started the evening looking to be offended, some people drank too much too quickly and got coffended (offended incorrectly becase they were confused), some people did both and lots of people didnt take it that seriously atall because it's a fundraiser in June.

They might be telling the truth.

I know I don't read it.
