HarryBosch Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Looks like SR has been told he's gone if we don't beat Fleetwood going off his LP interview and his mates comments on Twitter. Lets hope he can get the first of several wins tomorrow, keep his job and keep us up. Has a manager in the past ever been a dead man walking but turned it around, either temporarily or ahead of a run of real success? Dickov maybe? 3 or 4 times Was Royle not far off at one point? Other than that I can't think of anyone who didn't just keep digging a bigger hole for himself until the inevitable happened...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yet an agent posted on Twitter things went well on his visit to BP. Unless this means we have a new owner lined up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hands on Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 It could just be that the "threatening and abusive tweet aimed at the Oldham Athletic manager Stephen Robinson’s family" is the final straw and Robinson can't see beyond the Fleetwood game because he doesn't want to be here any more.

oafcprozac Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 We've been in the :censored: a few times and it's looked precarious but I can only really think of this year and last year where we've been cut adrift rock bottom. the situation we are in calls for an old stager like Moore - he achieved miracles with Hartlepool when cut adrift at the bottom of the FL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafc1955 Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 SImon Corney is about to destroy #OAFC. He is the problem not the manager. I've supported SC 100% until now, what's happening is a disgrace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewBlue Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 What are the stipulations for Fleetwood? We must score? We must win? Perhaps discussions about transfers have caused friction, similar to Kelly. It seems bizarre he would be kept on for so long while we're dour, only to be sacked the game before he has a chance to alter it. Little has changed on the pitch since pressure began to mount two months ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickjagger Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 To sack him now makes no sense when the transfer window is about to open, if he was to be sacked it should of been weeks ago. Unless Corney has a replacement in mind but told him to be identifying targets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that I can't think of anyone who didn't just keep digging a bigger hole for himself until the inevitable happened...? I think Royle got one point out of 9 games once, possibly 84/85 or 86/87I'll have a look in the book Crikey it was worse than I thought. One draw and 9 defeats in 10 consecutive league games 85/86. And I don't remember anyone calling for Royles head. Interestingly the forwards he had were Futcher Palmer Quinn and Fairclough. Defence was Goram, Donachie, McDonagh, Hoolickin and Ryan. Scored 9 and conceded 26. What may have helped was having won 8 and drawn 3 of the first 14 games of the season. They bought Paul Jones and Andy Linighan in late December/January and lost 4 of the remaining 17.
