That's not true at all. As far as I can see, those who want Unsworth out do so because they want Latics to be successful - surely that is support, not hate, and positive, not negative? And everybody appreciates what the Rothwells have done for the club. The essential question is, how long should he be given? We now have 6 games in the remainder of September, against teams currently 22nd, 13th, 23rd, 17th, 20th and 14th. All winnable and if we don't get as a minimum say 12-14 points then I'd say it'll be time to bring in a new coach. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the poster meant the Royles are coming in for stick regarding the appointment of DU. Though I'll let them confirm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither are you Monty, whist what you say is fair enough do you really think we should take all the emotion out of it because Frank 'saved us', I don't and whilst I'm largely apathetic sat in my seat and clap them on and off regardless some others are just as entitled to be more passionate and emotional, it happens at every football stadium in the country bar none.

Seen someone tweeting that 'we' , whoever 'we' is, are going to have to help them speed up the decision. That's not passion, that's menacing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Frank is asking everybody to change their opinions on DU. He's asking the SUPPORTERS to support the team. Back them, sing for them and take away the fear.

Beg to differ Monty. He didn't say leave DU alone, he said he and the board know the team is in good hands. He and his family bought the club because they are supporters. That he needed the fans (supporters) to support them doing it. He qualified his belief in DU by starting nobody is more upset when losing than DU. So for me what he wants is the supporters backing what they are trying to achieve and the best way is to attend and support the team.

Monty Burns Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 (edited) but in typical Monty not being able to leave it and causing fisticuffs fashion, he does want DU leaving alone. saying he doesnt is a bit silly!

Not really silly Monty. Owd Frank is a bit more shrewd than he likes to come across. Asking for DU left alone would be akin to moses parting the red sea yet indirectly by the fans backing and singing for the team, that's what he gets.

It's a bit like the better captains of industry using other tools than a stick to get exactly what he wants from his more unruly workforce. Leaving them thinking they've won. Now I will be mainly drinking large amounts of beer in my latics t shirt cheering on the Gooners to victory. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that’s the case it should have been done earlier then perhaps this terrible run of results could have been avoided! 3 or 4 out? TBH… I wouldn’t be surprised if that included Nuttall!
