He has to play in a two up front though, and alongside someone who will create space for Doyle. Otherwise he's a bit lost.

https://www.oldhamathletic.co.uk/news/2019/may/21052019-owner-update/ The owner has written a fairly lengthy long-term plan and vision for the football club. While I'm on board with the content of it, I don't trust him to deliver on it. The sporting director/head coach model needs the coach to...

Mega-talented, great to watch, has a reputation for being disruptive, left under a dark cloud. But then again our owner antagonises just about everybody, so who knows. Alex Iacovitti has signed permanent from Forest after a decent loan spell. Big defender who can also play a bit, best position...

Nepomuceno has re-signed for another year, thought he'd be the first to turn us down tbh. Really good left winger. Dayton was generally not good enough at League One level, with the occasional moment of "where the f did that come from?!"

Rangers appear to be leading the race to sign George Edmundson. Preston, Burnley and Sunderland are among the others who have shown interest. I'm expecting a fee in the £450k-750k range, but with an ex-agent as owner, it will be interesting to see if he can drive the price up.

All the foreign lads offered new deals, everyone else (plus Vera) released, big lol.

Christ sideways, our keeper's injured. His replacement is called ZEUS DE LA PAZ, best name in the league, but how's his goalkeeping??

Cracker that Vale goal. Assist of the season

They played for the draw, at home, when it meant nothing to them, just because we needed a win to stay up. Worth remembering.

Pete Wild has said on Radio Manchester we played Maouche high up the pitch because we knew there would be space for him because your back 3 rigidly stay back. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p075s3hd 32 mins in here.

Assist of the season?

Well I wasn't wrong. I haven't been as excited as that at a Latics game in ages! Playoffs are now in our own hands, christ!!

Two teams in a bit of form, business end of the season, should be a good game!

(Long video but) Good guys = Latics Arms dealers = Tranmere Jamie Foxx = Callum Lang Grenade = Two goals

I'm still not sure if he should keep the job after May, but Pete Wild can clearly get a tune out of these players. He's seen we need to be direct to get the most of our best attacking player, Lang. Impressive from somebody with no history in the game whatsoever.

Callum Lang is gonna have a great career. Can't help but like him as well, he's one of those who just loves paying football. Wigan should use him next season.

The only time I've properly lost my temper at football was at a fan who booed at full time when we'd won under Moore. I was only 19, bless my cotton socks.

Aye. Comments, both on this thread and from our own fans in the last couple of weeks, having a go at Scholes are laughable. Mr Simon Stone has nailed it here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/47578195

3 changes from Tuesday's blancmange of a performance. Looks strong and attacking. January loan signing Afolayan fit for his first bench appearance. Striker from West Ham.

F-I-N-A-L-L-Y been given the go-ahead from EFL to appoint Paul Scholes. Hope it was worth the wait! Oldham and Salford will not be permitted to make transfers between them while Scholes is involved with both clubs.
