Finishing 15th with little or no debt would be a good start. You have a better chance of attracting a decent player if you pay the wages on time and the facilities look decent. OAFC needs to enhance its reputation right now and try to become a well run professional football club on and off field. This doesnt look like consolidating it looks like downsizing to me.

Nohairdontcare Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Joe Royle is my football hero, marginally ahead of Andy Ritchie. I love the man. When I was a lot younger, and Latics were a Premiership club, I wrote a letter to Joe - keep in mind that I was in Galway, and these were the days before email etc, and I was a kid who loved Latics (and still do). It was early in the season and I posted the letter - basically just a note saying I love Latics - and forgot about it. Someone who didn’t forget about it was Joe. A few weeks after the season ended - sadly in relegation - a letter pops through the letterbox in Galway. Joe wrote back - he had waited until the end of the season to respond, as he wanted to hold off his reply until it had played out. I still have that letter. The excitement it generated for a young me was off the charts. As as I already said, I love Joe. My favourite man in football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickjagger Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Nice touch to honour Joe Royal and give him the recognition he deserves for what he did for the club & nice to see him give it his stamp of approval by being there tonight.
