Appointing Wellens is a bit like opening a present at Xmas and finding out you've got socks, exactly the same socks as you already have, which you hate, and they give you Aids.
My thoughts exactly... But...the socks are off my mum and I have to constantly thank her and be grateful.

Lets hope he plays a 2-3-5 in his first game in charge, something a bit retro and different. It would probably work as well, different seems to do well in football.

I love it how fans are saying that Lee Power wants us to get relegated.
I doubt that very much.
Fans wanted a change. They get change, and still moan. In all fairness, who else was there to appoint?

Shrewsbury have just sacked their manager, it looks like it's that time of year.
I guess we know where Paul Hurst is going then..

Not exactly an overwhelming appointment but we are currently the 8th worst team in the English leagues so there was unlikely to be a list of football genius managers likely to come here.
I wonder what kind of football RW likes to play. If Power will give him some money to strengthen the squad in January etc?
Too easy to moan and say 'shit manager, shit appointment'. Lets give him a chance and see what he can do. Hopefully he will come in with some new ideas and we can get a few wins at home and get the buzz back at the CG.

I don’t think Power wants us to get relegated but I don’t think he’d throw any extra resources into a relegation battle to make sure we stayed up.
If the plan was to sack Brown & appoint Wellens I’d rather we’d just spent the Brown pay off money on a striker.

Swindon, Wimbledon and Shrewsbury all sacked in the space of 24 hours. 2 of those teams won and the other drew on Saturday, thats a weird statistic.

Maybe some insight here into what to expect. https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/oldham-athletic-richie-wellens-latics-14835937He'll probably need to hit the ground running as it doesn't look as if there is going to be much of a 'honeymoon period'. All managerial appointments have an element of risk regardless of previous records or level of experience. Good luck to the guy. Yet another brave new world to look forward to on Saturday.

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change? Crap!

There's actually quite a few Oldham fans on the internet speaking out in favour of Wellens. and also quite a few: Lost count how many times Wellens played people out of position, must be a clueless management trait --- let's hope the positive posts are more right then the negative

Can't get over how shit the TEF is about this. We're 18th in the 4th Division and you're already laying the boot into the new man. It's not like we're boxing above our weight is it?
By chance, I heard him on the World Service Sportsworld programme a couple of weeks back and he sounded pretty articulate, said that he'd rebuilt unity in a divided dressing-room, turned things around playing attractive football, then they got injuries and the pitch went to mud in the winter and no-one adapted well. Which seems to be pretty much what the fans said.
Like any new signing, he's got my support until I've got evidence to the contrary. And usually for a bit after that too.

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
I look forward to a mod changing your user title any time now...
