Now if I was a Batley fan I think my choice if they could prise him from St Helens would be Richard Marshall. One coach Batley can keep their hands off is Stuart Littler.He is staying put at Swinton Lions soon to be rebranded on the field Manchester Lions. Tbh pal I don’t think there’d be many fans this side of the Pennines that would want Stuart Littler 5 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vitocorleone 67 Report post Posted September 11, 2019 I`d love Richard Marshall, but I don`t see that happening. More likely to be an easy choice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bi11 375 Report post Posted October 9, 2019 I notice that Matt Diskin is doing a 500 miles cycle ride this month to raise money for the Archie Bruce appeal. That seems to me to be a hell of a thing to do. It was time for a change, that's for sure, but perhaps we should lay off of the character assassination . 10 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tub 74 Report post Posted October 9, 2019 Naylor's supposed to be going to Salford , as an Oldham fan he did ok with very little financial support, in his seven seasons we only spent two in the Championship so although he goes on a high his record is ok. However the rugby we've been served up as in the whole been pretty difficult to watch , he is the Tony Pulis of League 1 , I genuinely thank him for his effort which is 100% but am happy for a change ....... to Diskin ..... time will tell !! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oldham fan At our level coaches seem to work at different clubs. Look at Karl Harrison, loved by us but not so loved by the time he left Fax. Diskin made a few mistakes with us early on that he never really recovered from, one example being isolating himself from the fans. This created a big gap between the two where as we'd always been used a coach who was the centre of the club (in Harrison and Kear) that pulled everyone together. He probably learnt a massive amount from his spell with us so you'd like to think he'll take the learnings to you. 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He made mistakes, there's no denying it but we were his first proper coaching job and if he's learnt from them, then I wish him the best of luck. As do many others, based on the FB posts.
