Posted by yarddog73,

It's a huge mess one that can be blamed in part on Royle's vanity project when he employed his mate Unsworth in place of a club legend Shez who let's face it was treated shockingly and effectively forced out.   I suppose again we are reaping what we sow from having people on the board who put personal interest before the clubs. Thomson wasn't the man long term but had probably done enough to earn a short term contract with the incentive of a new one based on League position. He did go

He hasn't lost "most of the fanbase" at all. Most level headed Latics fans I've spoken to think he should be given the summer

It’s amazing how balanced Robbie from Blackpool view is yet we still have a small number of fans who have this “sack him” mentality. Utterly ridiculous given his win ratio and league position. We need

Going to buck the tread a little. I liked that Mellon interview, the honesty that we've all seen and worked out for ourselves. The level of abuse and vitriol has to stop if we are to become a promotio

I don't want Parkinson. Don't think he'd get the Time or patience he'd need

 

Millington at Halifax maybe?

 

There's not a lot of choice out there. And I'm struggling to see why a lot of managers would want to come to Oldham

You would be surprised, I would even bet my house that un invited CV’s are already been emailed to the club.

We sack a manager now we will just repeat the same cycle over and over and over again.

 

Although if he offers Mcgahey a new contract he can go. We have too many old immobile men in the team and if I was the board I'd ne pushing back against adding more over 30's in this team who will just get out run.

As I've mentioned promote Paul Murray and charismatic youth team coach Chuka Akuneto.

The youth team was poor before they took over, but since they've encouraged good passing attacking football with some of the best  young prospects I've seen in years.

By desperate managers who are already out of work, I'd Imagine 

 

That's why I mentioned in house.

We did it with Pete Wild from the youth set up.

Ask any of the youth about Chuka, they think he's great. A really warm infectious personality.

Winning the dressing room is half the battle in football.

The one thing that the 73 74 team all said last night was the team ethos, all would not let each other down and all played for a firm but fair ex player Frizzell.

Hard work and team work will go a long way to remedy current situation,  plus some pace on the wing and using Sutton as a CDM and some full backs please.

A refreshing idea BP but there’s a world of difference between coaching young kids and seasoned pro’s!

Derek Adams came to mind but possibly too similar in character to Mellon.

 

Lot of respect for the job Simon Weaver has done at Harrogate, he would probably be my number one choice.

 

Don't know enough about the lower leagues to know who is up and coming or who is ready to step out of the academies.

He's a gonna, no way he can survive this.

 

 

Just because the same people keep making the same points in slightly different ways doesn’t mean he's destined for the sack.

Whoever we get, we need to do a proper recruitment process.

 

Invite applications, then interview.

 

In spite of what anyone may think of Lee Johnson, he was bloody find at the time and came from nowhere..

Very worrying comments about next season and the budget 

Glad he's alienated 60% of his squad then, terrific man management that Micky, particularly as the old fool can't be taught anything. 

 

I suppose the playoff money, FA Trophy money and the other 40k we could have pulled off Chesterfield weren't needed then?

Don’t watch his post match presser. . . 
 

Just grab a beer and enjoy your summer. 

I watched the first 15 seconds... Knackered against a team of semi pros... Fuck... Right... Off

Disagree I'm actually optimistic after watching it. He knows the score and he'll sort it. No one better out there so just throwing random names of managers who won't achieve what MM has is a bit daft. (Obvs not aimed at league one forever)

 

Given the size of this squad I think there must be room to maneuver. We could get by with 8 fewer, so can defo afford to partially pay some off.

Enjoy the summer everyone

What a miserable post match interview, the players were knackered today he said (why did he start them and why weren't Wealdstone?). Blaming, players out of position (why didn't he address that in the January transfer window?) Blaming the fans, and even had a go at the interviewer for asking him what went wrong in the last few months (played a lot of top teams he said and didn't lose many). When asked about next season indicated nothing much can change due to contracts.

So looks like the same as, which is really depressing.
