Other than the new Ops Manager coming from Oldham, I can't see why we're centred on Littler as a target. I was born to run a club like this. Number 1, I do not spook easily, and those who think I do, are wasting their time, with their surprise attacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 They’re fifth in the table, have lost 3 of the last 4 and could really do with going up this year what with the move to Boundary Park and the new consortium breathing life into the club. It doesn’t seem surprising at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Masked Poster Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Looks like a case of “he who pays the piper calls the tune”. I’m sure they know what they are aiming for though. Whatever, good luck to Oldham and I genuinely hope they can go up soon. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

south yorkshire Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 pressure on in league one no team can afford to stay in that division to long. Oldham are very ambitious this season and really need to be championship next season but same can be said of four other clubs in that league. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Streets tache Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 I don't think coaching is for Stuart Littler. His record at Swinton was atrocious bar the one season they had Matty Ashton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 I think the jury is still out at Swinton on Coleman, got promoted when we had the second highest wage spend so we should have done, got some good wins this year, but hae also been beat by Newcastle twice. We seem a bit clueless when we get into the opponents 25, and recruitment was hit and miss. Blindingly obvioulsy to most fans at the start of the year we lacked depth at half back but apart from the odd DR or Loan player, nothing has been done to rectify that, so we have Gregson who is a decent LF playing there "When you participate in sporting events, it's not whether you win or lose; it's how drunk you get." -Homer Simpson "I couldn't be more chuffed if I were a badger at the start of the mating season" Ian Holloway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doc Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 I'm sure we'll give Coleman a good welcome and support. But, obviously, come May 2024, some fans will be getting restless and wanting change, yet again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
