As Reg would point out,if he replicated his Oldham performances with us, he'd do enough to keep us up.

I'm here with my head in my hands, how much fucking worse can LP make our club. Anyone who's free should be our new club motto, along with some latin transcript nonleagueus maximus. Its just a joke, I'm almost lost for words. Shocking appointment like all the other from our leader. Everytime I get a little excited at the possibility we may have turned a corner it doesn't last 24 hrs. January and well be looking again for another free signing manager, whilst only being a couple of places and points off the drop zone. Is the chairman after another, gone down ballon payment, to keep us going? Grim, just fucking grim.

They won 1, drew 1 and lost 7 before he took over it seems. Something like that.
That helps put it in context. I was under the impression from Oldham fans that he (massivley) underperformed, but maybe that's not the case.

In fairness as Reg will probably tell us, Wellens has experience of getting a club relegated which is exactly what we need right now.

It will have gone in as favourite because someone put £5 on it. If Richie Welles’s is our new manager I’ll eat my own dick

Ed @OAFCEd 9m9 minutes ago More Wellens got Oldham playing good football when he first took over. We have an absolute charlatan of an owner who hadn’t paid the players on time for the whole of last season. The pitch went to shit and there were internal conflicts. He wasn’t the reason we went down. #stfc

Is Hunt here as player/coach? He’ll fit in well with the rest of the cast of Last of the Summer Wine.

Fortunately, I couldn't watch the FA Cup game and spent yesterday in Atlanta watching them beat NYCFC (impressive stadium and fans, 70000+), so missed all this and didn't have chance to get any hopes raised. As far as my mind is concerned Brown would still be in charge, so I remain as underwhelmed as I was on Friday with life STFC, never getting the several hours others have had to raise those hopes.

There's actually quite a few Oldham fans on the internet speaking out in favour of Wellens.

I bet Southend fans did the same about Brown?

Nope, they were pretty clear, he'll stack your team with midfielders and games will become dull affairs.

This is quite a good read- Wellens speaking about his time as Oldham manager. https://t.co/L1qfVQ5cJe?amp=1

I bet some did, but Brown underperformed here going by his previous track record. We should not have expected greatness from him, but it should still have been better than it was.

When I went on their forum to look when he was sacked in June I saw no evidence of that, maye have been some but all I saw was "too little too late" when he was sacked. I bet Southend fans did the same about Brown?
There were indeed a few supporting him despite poor performances.
