All I ask of the new manager is some signs of improvement before the inevitable relegation then consolidate next season building for the future.
Need to try some young players and try and build club that way.
No use sacking him after 9 games because it’s very likely the losing run will continue.
The team just isn’t good enough and no further chopping and changing of management will change that !The players on the pitch are simply not good enough for Championship level.
Low investment last summer was the killer for me, a change of manager won’t change anything , why will it ?Well said CW , not many will disagree with any of that.
Final nail for me was when we made relegation ‘rival’ Dull city look like Real Madrid just after New Year.
Can’t see any incomings now of any note and Chris zee and one or two others should be tried out rather than expensive loan signings.
No use wasting any more money as these team is all but relegated , not in any way good enough for this level.
I hate to say it but our glory era which has stretched from 1997 to now may well be finally at an end.Some great posts above , CL the best board on the net for Latics.
We all at the moment can only speculate, but a sinking side in January that hasn’t been strengthened for what now appears to be two windows says everything.
Sacking Leam was pointless and a total waste of money in my view.
Not sure this lot know what they are doing really , ok buying a club and walking round the pitch , arms aloft and scarfed up soaking the applause up, another one actually maintaining and sustaining it and running it well.
I hope I am wrong and a flood of money for players arrives however I ( and this is the best scenario now in my view)fear we might have to prepare for many years of league 1 and 2 football or even worse than that going forward.
I hate being negative but things now look far worse off the pitch than on it
Now and that Is bloody saying something at the moment isn’t it ?
I share the many intelligent points of view put above ,some of which were being said last summer amid all the back slapping.Agree with all of the above however no use throwing good money after bad especially if we have none.
Go to the youth team and get some of those kids in now, been saying it for weeks , season is gone now , this team has failed now and only way is long term view.
If the club has to be self sufficient then youth is the only way so get as many in now !!As mentioned previously in this post the team needs far more than just another promising front man!
Midfield and defence is screaming for improvement and the clock is ticking.
You never think history will repeat itself but this season is a rerun of the events of 2016-17 in my opinion.Do what I do and chill out and enjoy the little moment like last Saturdays ridiculous equaliser.
I have accepted relegation (FFS we should add the word relegated after athletic now !).
Pressure off and we might p/ss some tossers off here and there.
It’s done and the owners should just tell Kolo and his gang to get as many youth players blooded in readiness for next season and league 1 again.
Good transfer window in summer and who knows.
No use getting beat up , getting outclassed by dismal Dull city did it for me !He’s a promising player and I was initially pleased at the thought of him coming back.
With some thought though now I’m not so sure as I’m not sure he’d improve on what we have up front already.
Id sooner any funds ( assuming we have some obviously) be spent on improving that non existent midfield and some additional cover at the back.
If we haven’t got the funds then maybe look into that development squad again for another Hughes ,Thelo or Lang.After the euphoria of that last minute goal and it’s coming to something when a goal against the world giants Cardiff city can be described as euphoric!
Both teams really poor yesterday and the game was absolutely terrible, Cardiff so terrible as they sacked their manager after the game.
My main concern is that this game was a stonewall three pointer and we still couldn’t produce that against a very poor and unmotivated side.
It looks like relegation for me all the way and yesterday confirmed it for me.
The team is just not good enough and we will just have to enjoy those little moments like yesterday before the end of the season.
I live in hope though , it is Latics after all.I agree no use getting rid of him whatsoever , hee needs the time.
The club over achieved last season and expectations were sky high.
Yes bring in some players but don’t over do it and look for bargains and youth policy players.
I hope he has some good contacts and can bring in some players but I am old school and believe in scouting and youth policies and the best managers over the past 60 or 70 years followed that simple process when you look at it .
No use bringing in players with wide boy hard sell agents coming in for a wage and then slinging it next summer.
I am no fan of league 1 football but we seem to thrive in that division and a few seasons of bouncing between the two but making progress isn’t the end of the world.
A busted club and administration made me realise that it doesn’t really matter where you are in football , every club has its level.A shame as I liked Broadhead , a good lad who always gave his all.
His contract is up allegedly this summer so if this is the case Everton will probably want to sell him and given his record at Sunderland and Ellis Simms going back I’d expect him to go back there.
I would rather Kolo bring more lads from the development squad than buy a loads of nobodies.
It never worked back in 2017 and I doubt it will work now.
Lang, Asgard and Hughes are all home grown and have arguably been the best players of late , all play for the shirt and know what it means.
After Monday and being outclassed by a lowly team like Hull I have resigned myself to relegation now.
Recruit sparingly Kolo and have a good look at that development squad because it is starting to produce.
