Latics fans: "Get Clarke in. Proven track record. Knows what he's doing!" Also Latics Fans: "Bollocks to him. He'll take them down anyway!" 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly think we're a better prospect than Cheltenham, maybe location has played a part. If we are running a proper process there would be no guarantees so that could also be a factor. He may never have been interested in the Oldham job, who knows? I know we're f*cking massive, but any self respecting manager would back themselves to turn the downward trajectory of a Lg1 club into an upward one. FWIW I would have had Clarke as my first choice based on the names banded about but plenty of other good candidates around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only just stayed up last season, 1 point from nine games, no goals in nine, centre forward sold and not replaced. He's taken on a big job.

IanMarshall's Mullet Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 (edited) Will be interesting this after Clarke going elsewhere. Mellon and Gateshead manager still possibles for me but doubt us paying for anyone. Thompson probably the favourite at the moment I would think. Next two games will have a bearing on it I expect. Cowley bros anyone? Edited September 30, 2023 by IanMarshall's Mullet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet again in his post match interview he says all the right things " we need to keep possession more" "we know what needs doing" and we'll do it. Please give this man time. This year might be a bit late after Unsworths F.ing about. I have absolute faith in Thompson and Redfearn. Can't think of any other managerial candidate giving a better post match assessment after today's result. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yarddog73 Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 To be honest if they are going to gove it him it needs to be now and he needs three players in this week, we cannot continue with this midfield for another week, we've been harping on about it for months now and fuck alls been done to sort it, what are we waiting for?. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GKing521 Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 New man needed ASAP. Yesterday was absolutely rotten. Unable to compete at these dog and duck grounds makes me ill. Give Mellon the gig until the end of the season with a hearty promotion bonus. If he doesn’t get us up, get rid and find someone else. The longer we stay at this level, the more fans we will lose, commercial opportunities will dwindle and financially we will suffer. There is no time to piss about and experiment any longer. Thompson seems a nice guy but whatever the tactics he instructed yesterday were totally and utterly unacceptable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Sinnott Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Interestingly, Clemence was on the "guests" list for Rochdale's game in midweek. Could be reading too much into it, but could he have been scouting Rochdale ahead of our game...? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiseowl Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 It's been just 2 weeks since ST was handed the reins and he has guided us to 3 victories and a draw from 2 home/2 away, which has kick-started our season and given us some hope of a decent showing this time around. He's had the same players at his disposal as DU and is getting a lot more from them; which is a positive sign regarding his ability to "manage". Whilst accepting that yesterday's performance was not good, ST is finding a way to grind out results; again a positive. What's evident (apart from the oft mentioned problems in key positions) is that something was wrong with the previous training regime. Several players looked "end of season" leggy yesterday and that should not be the case. Such legacy issues will take time to address but you cannot help but admire ST's interviews; he recognises what is needed and you can tell he wants to make the changes required. IF the board are prepared to back him even half as much as they backed DU, then the results could be very fruitful. There is no need to rush into any new manager recruitment; steady as she goes. We are unbeaten under ST; that'll do for me and look forward to the 2 home games coming up. Keep it up ST - you're doing a very good job so far. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanMarshall's Mullet Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 (edited) The fitness is an odd one because DU said they would be super fit after the pre season with him and I have it on good authority that it was indeed a bit gruelling as was the personal fitness regime each player had prior to coming back for pre season. Perhaps it may have been gruelling but not necessarily effective? I’m not qualified to make a judgement but curious nonetheless.
