.I'm not sure why there's so many complaints. It's November 14th.

On October 18th when the club announced Stay tuned in the coming days as we announce some exciting signings for our 2025 squad. I looked forward to hearing about the newbies who would be pulling on the blue and white in 2025 However, all we have got was re-signings which isall good news  But I think the  angst  from the fans is not for the lack of announcements but the lack of NEW faces

LOL, here's a post from their forum on Monday evening:
"This is getting more than slightly ridiculous - pre season training starts Thursday and so far we have 6 players signed on - 2 of whom are probably still injured! The club needs to get a grip and release a meaningful update - even if its ###### news! "

It's the same across forumland - people have no patience.

 

Which they have done this week. No social media posts for getting on for 3 days is a joke. I’ve had a quick look at other Championship clubs, and none are this poor.

Here are a couple more posts, this time from the Oldham forum from last week:

"Gone quiet again on the signings front.  "

"What's happened to all the hype about Drinkwater, Thornley and Ashurst joining OUR club? Was it just a sales gimmick to generate more season ticket sales? Come on Oldham say something!"

One of those posters said on their forum yesterday after they had announced a couple of new signings "I genuinely feel that must be perhaps the strongest squad in the championship."

It's November.

"I won’t engage in a debate because the above is correct and if anything else is stated to the contrary it’s incorrect."

To be honest, I do not think there are many, if any clubs in the league that have a FB/W/SH/H/LF combo as good as Aekins-Wynne-Reynolds-Jones-Addy. Are you saying these signing don't count because they played for us last year?

We all know most of the newbies' names thanks to the gossip websites, and they'll be announced whenever.

Angst?? Really?

Sorry mate, there's no reason to call someone else's opinion BS.

I do need reading glasses at my age, but I don't share your frustration. I think we will be ok for 2025. That's it.

People are frustrated, the club just don't seem to want to communicate anything to the fans.

It's right to say it doesn't make any difference to the players who start the season, but there could be fans that feel if the club can't communicate why should I commit to a season ticket.

I am sure there are lots of fans who if they are served up some of the dross we had last year will pick and choose which games they attend, when announcing the signings would no doubt bring optimism for next season.

The Chairman has said we’ve made some class signings for next year so I’m not worried about whether we’ll be competitive. What does frustrate and confuse me is that it’s pretty obvious that many of those signings have already been made, as stated elsewhere one of our new players knows he’s reporting for training next week. So why not officially announce them? I can’t see any logic in not doing so unless it’s for some contractual reason.

You're not frustrated? What you've written was on behalf of other people?

So you agree with me, but your friends and family disagree and are frustrated. 

Ok.

Ok.

Bottom line m I've lived all my life with the attitude don't worry about things I can't change so with no influence on the club I just sit back and let them get on with it and hopefully enjoy the ride

It would be much easier if you made it clear when you're talking for your laid back philosophical self and when you're talking for your anxious and frustrated friends and family.

   The club must think we are daft.

For what’s worth I do believe we will have one of  the strongest squads- but this is as things stand. I am  sure other clubs will be announcing signings shortly which will level up the teams. But teams are returning to training so squads should be being finalised before much longer.

Good news, let’s just hope that the socials are back up and running and this was just maybe a change over of staff, or someone new getting involved.
