a response to that article on the Oldham forum:
I think he’ll struggle or be nothing more than ok.
OK would be fine, should keep us up. It's sub OK which worries me |

I mentioned this t'other day. Underwhelming appointment. Feels a bit Flitcroft lite (and not in weight). That's really saying something.
Not going to write him off but if he were to fail, then Power can fall on his sword.

We've had various regular soundbites from managers of recent past; '...and hopefully we get lucky again.' - Mark Cooper
'...well three draws equals a win.' - Luke Williams
'...yeah we need to microwave it.' - David Flitcroft
'...about a clean sheet mentality.' - Phil Brown Some bizarre ones there, especially LW and DF. What will our new manager Robbie Wellens catchphrase be? I'm going for 'We all need to show more ambition.' Hardly original or inspiring but would likely be truthful, at least at the start. |

Time will tell. I'm not really interested in what Oldham fans think of him, or his record there. We've had managers with a better pedigree (One of which has just been sacked) and they've rarely been that successful.
Any appointment is a punt, hopefully this one's a winner.

am I reading too much into this:
"The remit in my contract is to get the club promoted.”
actually what does that even mean, he's contacted to to get us promotion? I doubt it!

Why doubt it? In the real world some sales people get a boot out the door, if they don't reach targets |

because he's got a 2 year contract, promotion is unlikely this year so I don't see what purpose it would serve

more likely than relegation but that doesn't stop people saying it. |

I thought our natural league position was the league above? Plus we have the 3rd highest attendance in the league despite being in a relegation battle and it beats half of league 1. I'd say we are too big to be in this league. doesn't mean that we don't deserve to be where we are however |

As i said before it might be broken into segments 20 points after 10 games 30 after 15 etc, he might have taken it to get us up this year. People will agree to anything when a job's on offer. Tough ask, but 6 months money is better than 0 months. Equally this time next year if we have 15 points from 20 games we wont be going upwards and the contact will say that. I'm pretty sure PB will have been on the same, and reached a critical point a few games back and set wheels in motion. The appointment didn't happen in 24 hours, this was well in advance when a target wasn't met. |
