I have no doubt Wellens will put the hours in/work hard

I've really no idea.... one of the things which struck me with Flitcroft, was that he was definitely norvern in character, and knew that scene very well.  The Oldham/Bury/Rochdale/Accy/Blackburn/Bolton run, using drop outs from Manc academies, a bit like Wellens in fact.

I did think he might find the cultural change difficult... and that apparently came to pass.  We tend to get our players from more southen/London based clubs, as often they won't want to move due to costs and short term contracts etc.

We'll have to see how norvern Wellens is....but this makes him look a bit suspect  Smiley

Quality McMahon wobbling out on the pitch like Kurtz up the Congo, and nice to see the faithful getting a bit of pitch invading celebrating a point in the north.

looking forward to hearing him talk, id given up with the season with brown- hit and miss every week.

7 points from playoffs, still in 2 cups. every chance this could be turned around and have some fun this season.

This is one of the areas where Power falls down... why not have a meet and greet session down the CG for the new gaffer, where he can outline his thoughts and then answer questions.

I remember this happening when McMahon was appointed.... after the questions I thought he was going to smack me one as he got redder and angrier.  I sought him out during the informal drinks session, at the end just to check that I hadn't offended him  Smiley

Iffy once did one also, although he may have subbed for King, so it was all about youth development.

A quick glance of the official site tells us no.

An open day is a different beast altogether, having one in the pre-season would be an idea though. I recall fondly Mike Spearman and Ray Hardman doing one in about 94.

They wanted the personal touch, so were showing little groups around the CG themselves.... the problem was there were queues off down County Road past Notton's cafe of disgruntled fans.  Smiley

I managed to wheedle my way in without the ground tour,  ready to see Joey Beauchamp be unveiled to the adoring masses, his missus literally shoving out the door... poor bugger.

We don't need the official site, just tell us how the first training session went will you.

We'll still be managerless Swindon Town on tonight's draw then.

Not sure if it has already been posted or not, but I saw this on twitter from an Oldham fan. It certainly looks like their chairman didn't exactly help things last season.

Despite their basket casery, they're still above us in the league... as are Charlton, Blackpool,and Cov who are also reckoned to be badly run.
