Ex-Player/Manager Thread 2021/22

I think Accie has quite a few attractions for players.

It's handily placed for youngsters at some bigger clubs in the area, easy to get to without having to look at accommodation for those living in the Lancashire belt.

They are making major improvements to the ground.

They are a settled setup. Coleman is one of the longest-serving managers in the League and has a good reputation with players. He may enjoy winding up opposition fans a little too much but players who have played under him generally seem to rate him.

They have an owner who genuinely loves his club and wants to take it forward, but is doing it in a slow and steady way.

Charlie Wyke leaves Sunderland as contract expires.....Celtic bound supposedly.

Confirmed Wigan for Wyke:

I think Oldham are in a bit of trouble, things have been difficult there for a while, and now they have a transfer embargo and they have let Paul Murray go, who was head of their Academy and trying to hold it together on a shoestring. The owner certainly isn't popular.

No, Murray joined us as a Coach when Sheridan came, Summer 2018…

Well the Oldham fans must be taking the piss - they have a decent manager and players of the calibre of Adams and Hope.

If that is being held together by a shoestring then Jenkins must be using his own faeces to hold Carlisle United together.

Their manager got sacked from his last job, Adams is aging, Hope failed at Swindon, and Oldham finished 18th last season.

I liked Curly Keith, enjoyed the Adams/Grainger partnership, and felt Hope was underrated in his time here. But nothing lasts forever. We’re in a far better position than Oldham as it stands.
