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.

Agreed

Had a read of what Oldham fans have said, about the situation he inherited at Oldham and then the problems with embargoes, style of play etc.

It may not be a blow your socks off appointment but I don't think it's as horrific as some people are shouting. Flitcroft/Brown were both "names" and look how they did.

Give the guy a chance.

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.
Agree 100%,  Is Power deliberately trying to get us into the conference ?.   Have given him the benefit of doubt up to now,  if it works I'll hold my hands up,  but at the present time I can only see a further downhill spiral.   Looks like this was obviously already a done deal,  he obviously didn't expect us to beat York.    Will continue to support the club, but how can you continue to back a chairman with this amount of ambition ?. Can't see attendaces increasing with this appointment.   Total suicide IMO.

You are going to have one hell of a party when we eventually go down aren't you?

Look at the Conference South, could be quite appetising"

You have the GWR derbies - Bath & Chippenham
Something to appeal to a global audience with a game against Slough, which could invoke a one off Office Special
The real A420 Debry
Fitton would have loved the Hungerford games
Gloucester City should be much more winnable than the games against their near neighbours seem to be, although Reg would miss those, so hopefully they follow us down
And Torquay can swap anecdotes about dodgy Speedway Stadium developers

Can anyone come up with a single name (has to be remotely realistic of course) that anyone else would find anything other then 'underwhelming'? I doubt it.

I'm not commenting on Richie Wellens as I know nothing about him.

Wasn't Noel Hunt recently at Waterford, so a cheap No 2 already on Power's payroll

So Noel Hunt is still playing is he?  I was confused on the link with Wellens, but see Hunt was recruited as Player Assistant Manager at Waterford (I might have missed conversation on this).

You've obviously not read any of the previous posts,  plenty of suggestions there -  And reports on Wellens previous experiences.
