Much rubbish has been written however I know him personally and whilst a lot of venom has been directed towards him much of which might be true I can tell you all he loves O.A.F.C. He may be opinionated and made errors but he would give his last breath for the Latics. So everybody just chill and amuse yourselves with his tweets. He's no longer a director but he still loves the club. I have met him. Some years ago I raised funds for "Playershare" by selling pin badges. I never got paid for them, I can only say as I find 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The secret is not to compound them by making the same ones over and over again - and occasionally admitting to them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but I'm not sure shutting the North Stand on health and safety grounds could be seen as a mistake. More an act of vindictiveness. If Barry's 17 years as a director was him giving his all for the club and putting the club first I'd dread to see what his idea of half arsing it and being out for himself looks like. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even now, if he was to show some humility and publicly admit how many things he got wrong, that would be something.

Only Blue Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 You have fell into the trap of talking about him. I assume it's because everything at Latics is a lot calmer, so random thoughts of the past come back. Just forget him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Ritchie Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 That man does not love OAFC. That man loves himself and massaging his ego. He saw OAFC as an opportunity to do this. If he loved the club he wouldn't be banning fans for speaking up against the club. He wouldn't be shitting stands down in some petty dispute. Very happy he is no longer involved in the club. Hopefully he never comes within 2 miles of the place. Unless he is in the hospital across the road* *for a routine check-up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's defaecating not defecating. Comes from the word faeces, unless you lot are Americans.And BTW I'm glad I'm not the real B.O. They threw the mould away after they'd made him thank goodness.
