    Your Views on Taking the Knee

    The moment it becomes a perfunctory measure will be a wonderful moment but I fear that moment is a long way off.... I look forward to it however. As far as taking the knee goes? As a gesture with no negative connotations may it continue until such a time as nobody at all feels that it is necessary.

    Chorley in our cup

    Red is one game unless violent conduct I think - hopefully the Tranmere Mickey Mouse trophy game counts?

    Load of Cobblers

    It can be argued that his habit of never making anything but forced subs has contributed to several injuries by running our (old) senior players into the ground. However, even ignoring that, surely it is common sense that if you are forced to promote youth into first team football you must play...

    Load of Cobblers

    It’s a compliment really that we are such a massive club that people who don’t support us come looking for our supporter threads online. I would never go on another teams thread or the thread of a team in a sport I (and almost all the population of the earth) don’t like but that’s because I...

    Load of Cobblers

    Got what I asked for 2nd half but it is becoming tiresome seeing such dreadful 1st half displays and again that can only be laid at Sheridan’s feet in setting the team up wrong and not getting the players properly prepared and instructed. I am confident that we’ll do fine and end mid table if...

    Load of Cobblers

    Can’t criticise the young lads - fault is entirely at the feet of Sheridan who is a joker of a manager playing everyone all over the place out of position. 2-0 down before he realises he only has one centre back and fucked up his team selection, not to mention the potential damage to crankshaws...

    I assume you mean adding perspective to how impressive it is after we spank them?

    Charlton

    Two clear penalties not given, a good goal disallowed and then to top it off the prick fell over was behind play and then gave their free kick 10 yards further forward than the foul which they score from. Saying all that Jones should save that and we’ve had other chances should’ve scored.

    This one is the shittest I’ve seen though - which is saying quite something

    PORTSMOUTH

    Great effort to get a difficult away win against a Pompey side who should be up there again come the end of the season. We’ve looked likely going forward in every game so far as we have a lot of talent and experience up top but have been shaky at the back. It was good to see the defence looking...

    Gillingham

    To be fair we started OK and got a very good goal. Unfortunately if you can’t defend long straight punts towards your area then you are going to lose every time, especially in L1 where this is the tactic used 90% of the time by 90% of teams. At least it is refreshing to moan about our...

    Deal edging closer?

    Plus why accept any offer? We don’t need to sell anymore - tell them to pay up of feck off. Or give Krasner a £250k sell on backhander and He’s yours.... allegedly.

    Deal edging closer?

    Because if you’ve already accepted the £10 bid then whilst you can also accept the £12 bid it’s still up to the player to choose which club to go to as both bids have been accepted. Are we talking about Windass now? He’s worth about a tenner.

    Deal edging closer?

    Nobody outbid because Blackburn already had an offer accepted at 900k and then no other club is going to bid more than that knowing that we’ll sell at that price. If you go to the shop and it says £9.99 on something you don’t then offer £20. West Brom came in at 900k knowing that they are a...

    Deal edging closer?

    previously the reasoning for the lower fees was that we needed up front cash and so the total price falls to maximise cash payment in advance with no instalment payments which are normal in transfers these days. That is no longer necessary if the admins are not lying (I know, unlikely from...

    We back the Yanks . F***off Smurthwaite!

    If he somehow takes over then as representatives of the newly invested supporters club surely we can get a few of us together to give him a warm welcome at the first board meeting and make him an offer he can’t refuse?

    NEW THREAD FOR ALL THINGS TAKEOVER

    I understand your point, but do you have any actual examples of this as Ivan Toney was never a Latics player as he was only on loan from Newcastle and was rubbish during that time.

    2020/21 Kit

    I thought the kit manufacturers paid to supply the kit and then obviously get a cut of sales of replicas - or is that only in the prem? Anyway I will be buying the kit for me and home/away full kits for my lad as again it’s a way of getting funds into the club. Same with season tickets - they...

    Players going forward

    I’d rather have a sustainably run club (think Brentford) with a long-term plan to move back up the leagues Gradually than another “get to the premier league quick for cheap“ moron who doesn’t understand football like the last lot and then panics and liquidates when it does It is imperative now...

    Players going forward

    There were 5 bids for the club originally and another had come in since the original deadline which is also under consideration - this is all a matter of public record having been reported. All bidders had to show proof of funds of £10m - again a reported and factual condition of bidding...
