Oldham Financial Issues?

It has beem alleged Oldham have not paid player injury treatment bills & pension payments. This has led to a breakdown in relations between the Oldham chairman & Boundary Park owners leading him to being banned from the ground for 12 months!

How can that work satisfactorily going forward? Are they going to have to find a new stadium? Whatever the situation it does not sound good.

Is this going to turn into another Salford or Featherstone situation? Have they overstretched financially? One clue was given last season when their chairman was complaining fans were not paying to come & watch a winning side in enough numbers.

Some of us complain about the strength of our squad but once again this proves you cannot massively overspend on the assumption improved gate takings will meet that spending.

Overspending in this league is usually fatal, I assume that's why we don't do it. At least we still have a club.

Just more scaremongering the only conflict is with Oldham Athletic and their chairman.

Seems to be getting worse, our game could be at bower field - this must be costing Oldham a lot of money

His assistant coach has also left. The reason quoted as " does not like the direction the club is going in" whatever that means.

Will the Noosegate Kid now take over as head coach at Oldham?

Interesting (wrong word?) times ahead for the 'Yeds!

My mate at 'Ornits is loving it!
