True Tic Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 Just read the Oldham Times report . DU speaks of his desperation to succeed but then talks in what appears to be a tone of surprise of the unrest with the fans and the NL being the hardest league to get out of (it is when you’re near the bottom of it). Talks of the “plan” again and uses the term “we” a fair bit as opposed to “I”. “Cant be having factions wanting to bring down what’s being done” . States we are a little bit behind the curve. He’s going nowhere and he knows it . Just maybe an acknowledgment of his massive under achieving and the fact we are in the same place or lower in the league than when he took over .

longtimeblue Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 "We're not winning enough games to appease the fans...". A little passive aggressive. We're not winning enough games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzlatic Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 I don't think what he has said is that bad. Seeing as it's coming from someone who wants to keep and succeed in his job. He's acknowledged it's not gone as well as it should have done but he wants the opportunity to see it through. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No manager can ask/preach patience with out results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank shouting a bit in an away end is fine, odd the club haven't had Frank, Luke or Darren do a piece saying they're behind him etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know what I was expecting really, but the “we can’t be having factions” irritated somewhat, but hes allowed to say his bit. What I would say is we can’t really be having one win in 8 matches preceded by almost a full and very lukewarm season, that’s what’s causing the “factions”.

Stainrod Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 Should he just take abuse without giving a little bit politely back? Don’t blame him for that particularly, we need him to show he’s up for the fight if he’s going to be here a while. Jumping on everything he says is getting a bit tedious. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiseowl Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 Just read the latest OT piece too. Just more bullshit cliches. However, it's pretty obvious our incompetent manager is going nowhere and I am now seriously beginning to question the competence of those above. I keep hearing how everything else is being run great (i.e. behind the scenes etc.). How come it's so shit on the pitch then? Why no improvement whatsoever after a year of "the plan"? What does that tell you? What do you do to resolve it? What ARE you going to do to resolve it - and when? How long do you plan for us to be a non-league club? What is the "plan" DU refers to? The only conclusion I can reach is that there is something written into his contract (e.g. a minimum length of tenure) because he seems to be immune from any criticism whatsoever from above. It is baffling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right lads- here’s the formation it’s supposed to be effective apparently, but I’m gonna leave you lot to figure that out. We should have battered them with the possession we had. Because we didn't was why I changed my tune on DU. We should be comfortable with having the ball that much, not completely devoid of ideas 3 hours ago, GlossopLatic said: I had a commodore Amiga 600 hours and hours on that thing Road Rash was a quality game too.

It's putting me off the whole board. I agree with your sentiment. It does, however, illustrate the level of discontent regarding the manager when that is virtually all we can talk about. We`ve had the euphoria of a takeover, a disappointing season last time (which we all came to accept - even me eventually) and then the build-up and investment over the summer with great expectations for distinct improvement on the pitch this season. The absolute flop it has been so far has resulted in virtually all the focus being pointed towards the glaringly obvious weak link in a supposed strong chain. Rightly so - who wants a great set-up behind the scenes when the football is dire?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not like The Lemsagam era where the whole club was on a downhill spiral with seemingly no end in sight, this will end and turn around alot quicker than people think. Some people need to dial it down abit some of the hysteria coming out on social media is outright pathetic.
