From the "Arsenal of the North" to the "Oldham of Yorkshire" in the space of a few years.
So we've got Cotterill, Coppinger, Bennett and Croft who are all natural right winger. We've let Woods go who was our only natural left sided midfielder and with Spurr likely to leave it'll mean Husband will be employed at left back rather than left midfield. As a team we currently look less balanced than a fat lass on a tightrope eating the contents of a greggs shop with only her right hand!
feel no one is giving dickov a chance. we still have flynn and jones to offer "advice". lets not forget at oldham he had his backroom staff put on gardening leave and was given no money. on boxing day they were no push overs and did well in the cup. Croft has represented England at international level, he is England's most-capped youth International, with 40 up to Under-20 level having been capped at Under-16, Under-17, Under-18, Under-19's and Under-20 level by England. Including captaining England under-18s. he also won the Fans Player of the Season award and played in 53 out of Oldham's 54 games in all competitions. cant be that bad.

Two players on our books last season........Garry Woods and Mark Wilson were both at a certain Lancashire club. Did that make us th Manchester United of Yorkshire?
I saw croft 3 times against rovers last season and he played well every game, some of you on here ought to get a grip and give the lad a chance if we have got him, and not slag him off calling him a fat b*****d etc.

What has happened to Dickov's and Flynn's infamously long lists? Have they gone missing? Has the pen gone missing as well?#clubincrisisFirstly I am quite surprised a man of your supposed intelligence manages to spell CALIBRE wrongly.Secondly how is PD running the gains the club has made into the ground?We haven't signed anyone yet!!! Most players are still under contract and getting paid by their clubs.Once we get to the start of the season you can start moaning IF we haven't signed anyone to your satisfaction. Until then why not try and be a sensible supporter?I don't claim to have intelligence. I claim to have knowledge gained through experience. And that's what makes me a frightening proposition in a debate.Do you still remember our last championship season? Do you honestly think signing overweight 4th rate players from a club which has been flirting with relegation (in a poor league) is the right approach we should be taking. If you do, you are a true deluded whomper.Dickov has no experience of managing a club with the expectations like ours. He's simply out of depth and already stringing half-truths the public ("I'll be working tonight" - well, where's the evidence Paul?)I am going to set my stall out now. I am truly frightened for our prospects next season with a man who is clearly in it above his head, station and personal ability.

You know you've won the debate when people start reverting to insults and pointing out grammatical mistakes (even though they are not).You think 'and' can't start a sentence. Ha ha. Whomper.I could school you on the evolution of english grammar but I won't because I am the bigger man. But I will say this. I am someone who has written two novels in his lifetime and written for multiple national newspapers on critical issues. Although my books didn't do well commercially (due mainly to poor marketing and me not wanting to sell out my principles), at literary festivals up and down the country they got a staggering response. At one said event, Bill Oddie and James May from Top Gear were promoting their autobiographies and had read my 2nd book and described it as (and these are their words not mine) "A thinking mans harry potter". Sadly, I don't write as much as I used to due to the accident in the Manx TT race last year, but one thing that cannot be doubted is my literary talent and grasp of the english language.

Just genius.All this and still you find time to learn/teach Swahili on youtube. Your time management skills are exemplary, RoT
Well I love RoT. He might well be making it all up as he goes along, but boy he does with style and humour. And I suspect he doesn't take himself very seriously too - which is something we could all learn from.CheersBobG
