NewBlue Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 (edited) Paul came to me and said things weren't working. Said that they mutually decided that it wasn't right and needed to part ways. I gave him every opportunity. It's a result driven business. I'd swap Liverpool game to stay in the division. We can't go down financially and with our fanbase. 1st time I've made a managerial change and been emotional because me and Paul are very good friends. Players have things to answer, they let him down and raised suggestions that they only perform in front of the cameras. Stan Collymore: What manager will you try to get? At times I wants the young hungry guy but it didn't work with Paul. Old experienced manager might not suit the club and the youth develop that we have. Stan: Will you stay as Chairman of the club? 10 years has flown by and I'm not going anywhere. Football is a drug. Although we have lows it's still great to be involved and I love it. Stress goes with it as the money has increased in the game and it's harder for clubs like ours. Looking forward to beginning construction of the new stand. Will bring income on and off the field for the club. Personally, I thought that the age of the manager comment was very interesting.

HAYESY Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 hmmm, yes. Seemed a very interesting comment. One would say that maybe experience would be a good thing to try. In my opinion though. Managers come in all shapes and sizes, old and young, and i would say that age should not be stressed upon. There are many good young managers, there are many bad young managers. There are many good old managers, there are many bad old manager. We need a manager Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dec666 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 The young, hungry manager is perfectly fine given a full pre-season and season ahead of him, but not in our situation. We need somebody experienced and somebody who will take no prisoners! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lags Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Owen Coyle for me is a top manager. Would he drop back down the leagues? am not sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scan Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 I really can't envisage any experienced league manager worth his salt wanting to take Oldham on - I think that we need to settle for an ambitious, successful, non-league manager and hope that he comes good.

welshgaz Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Majority of the names we've said are all dreaming. That goes for Megson. Billy Davies, jewell. Someone actually mentioned Adkins. Baffling. We will end up with micky Mellon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Scott at Grimsby is doing well, but I think SC will go for someone who knows how to grind out results in this division in the short term.

Laticacid Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Almost spat me brew at the screen when I saw that !! From champions league success to a relegation fight in league 1 , whoever suggested him has to be joking right ? Or it just goes to show how little some of our fans understand football, frightening !

M35FYC Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 seen somewhere that SC had 20 managers show interest in the job once the news about PD went public found a list of managers link to the job on http://www.thesackrace.com/job-centre Nick Barmby Blackpool, Oldham Athletic Phil Brown - Blackpool, Huddersfield Town, Notts County, Oldham Athletic, Stoke City, West Ham United Owen Coyle - Arsenal, Aston Villa, Blackpool, Celtic, Everton, Fulham,Huddersfield Town, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United,Notts County, Oldham Athletic, Republic Of Ireland, Stoke City,Tottenham Hotspur Alan Curbishley - Arsenal, Aston Villa, Blackpool, Celtic, Everton, Fulham,Huddersfield Town, Manchester United, Oldham Athletic, Republic Of Ireland, Stoke City, West Ham United Billy Davies - Blackpool, Celtic, Everton, Huddersfield Town, Oldham Athletic,Rangers, Stoke City, West Ham Iain Dowie - Huddersfield Town, Oldham Athletic, Stoke City, West Ham United Peter Houston - Blackpool, Huddersfield Town, Oldham Athletic Paul Ince - Blackpool, Everton, Huddersfield Town, Manchester United, Notts County, Oldham Athletic, West Ham United Alan Irvine - Notts County, Oldham Athletic Steve Kean - Huddersfield Town, Oldham Athletic Paul Jewell - Huddersfield Town, Oldham Athletic Derek McInnes - Celtic, Oldham Athletic, Rangers Gary Megson - Huddersfield Town, Notts County, Oldham Athletic, Stoke City, West Ham United Micky Mellon - Blackpool, Huddersfield Town, Oldham Athletic out of that list Jewell, Megson, Dowie seem realistic possibilities that id be happy with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al_bro Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I can't understand why anyone would want Megson as manager. He is disliked by fans and players. He wouldn't be able to attract any decent players who have heard of his reputation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshgaz Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Why would an out of work manager not want a job? Think we will be surprised whos interested. Adkins possibly Grayson fair enough but non of others are Mourinho are they? Adkins possibly? Adkins 100% definitely not. Why would billy Davies come to us? No chance there either.

lancy lad Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Adkins possibly? Adkins 100% definitely not. Why would billy Davies come to us? No chance there either. Adkins definately wont come to us, I agree. Can't agree with Davies though, he has been out of work for almost 2 years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
