It's a shame we can't bill Whatmough for the Hungary trip and use of Latics facilities before he fooked off.

I don't know why people are worried were the goals are gonna come from. If Maloney can get us playing as he wants then we'll pass the ball around teams and with player movement then whoever is in the box will do the business. I can see the likes of Wyke, Lang, Humphrys and maybe Thelo getting...

That 1st season people had bought ST seats which were in the dugout. John Benson wasn't to happy when the subs had to sit on the floor 😄.

It probably says apply to Latics because we're currently the stadium owners. I would think it'll change ownership to a separate Danson company as things progress and he takes control of the lodgers.

Maybe not the 1st season down but he'd have brought in players to play his way and that would've given us a better chance the season after. But the point is Coyle was a disastrous appointment. A manager who's football style was completely different to the players at his disposal.

Maybe injured or being sold.

I don't think Whatmough leaving would be as big a blow as we think. Yes he's a good CH at this level but I don't think playing out from the back is his strength. Heading the ball and organising are his strengths. But he didn't look comfortable last season when Maloney tried to implement his own...

I think you might be wrong about Dansons plan to buy 100% of the rugby before buying Latics. Lenegans son Simon tweeted Paul Kendrick recently on Paul suggesting what you have. Saying it wasn't the case and hinted that it was a recent decision by Lenegan senior to sell. Simon didn't elaborate...

I don't think it's a case of getting promoted straight away. It's more a case of bringing in someone with a similar philosophy of Martinez. Whoever the manager had been he'd have had a lot on his plate that season. With the European campaign and eventual cup run. But the season after wouldn't...

I've said it before but appointing Coyle was one of the worst mistakes Whelan made in his time as owner. I think even now we're still feeling the after affects.

I think we'll struggle for the 1st few months of the season as the team adapts to a new formation. The -8 could hold the team back physcologically and be a burden on them. But with a few more outgoings/Incomings in January we'll push to midtable and possibly top 10.

Is Danson actually a worriers fan or is it something the rugby lot put out? When he bought a 20% share in them during covid was it not because Pollard went to him with the begging bowl as the rugby had little income and Danson bailed them out. Rather than him being a fan.

Paul Kendrick said, "Watch this space". regarding a shirt sponsor. So the 10 days or so before it goes on sale could give them time to finalise things.

Paul Kendrick said on Sunday we were working on a few deals. So a tough tackling midfielder might be one of those. I feel if we can get the midfield right then we can give some inexperienced lads a chance elsewhere on the pitch.

A great character by all accounts. Maybe Jamie will return one day after he's got his coaching badges.

I was wary but relieved when Danson bought us. I'm still wary of his motives now. We've been stung by our last 2 owners so I think we should be cautious of Dansons actions going forward. His comments today after buying the rugby were all about making them great and winning trophies. Now Mike is...

Scully, Shinnie and now Keane? Possibly the 3 wanting to leave.

One of our issues with the ground is Whelan never brought in independent sponsors. He always used his own companies. Nothing wrong with self promotion but us not establishing a relationship with a bigger company to sponsor the ground hasn't helped us in the post Whelan years.

Our issues with player recruitment have been we've tried to get back up ASAP.. There's been no plan for the future just the here and now. So we've ended up with players to good for league 1 but not good enough for the Championship. Obviously the Cook era was different but we got the recruitment...

I think the recruitment team were Mal Brannigan and those other 2 directors.
