Another one in fine financial shape.

Well if even half of that article is half true then Oldham is in a big pickle, without the assets of a club like Villa (also struggling financially) to more easily dig themselves out.

Just sacked Wellens, too.

i wonder why they waited a month to sack him... valuable time wasted for the new guy.

It might have something to do with the first post on this thread. Someone must have given the Daily Fail all that info.

I love the comment from Jose Baxter last week when he left Everton to sign for Oldham: "It's a no-brainer."

Yes Jose, leaving a Premier League club to sign for a relegated League Two club in all kinds of trouble is a really good move.

Perhaps he was referring to himself?

I work with a Latics supporter who said last month they couldn't afford the diesel for the lawn mowers and by all accounts the Boundary Park pitch is in a right two and eight!

How was Baxter still at Everton after all these years (!)

Crazy long contract on relatively crazy wages?
Would you move?

I don't know, that's not what it reads like. Everton gave him a new one year deal when his drugs ban expired, having not had him for five years and with him being 25? It was totally mad him being there having been released by a League One club, and I guess just to give him a chance to get his career back on track. I thought he couldn't have possibly been there all that time.

I used to live near Oldhams ground , just pray the fixtures dont get LCFC there in the height of winter . Can get bloody freezing especially at night games .

2nd highest behind WBA and just above Port Vale , the 3rd highest .

Our last visit there in the league was February 1999 and yes it was freezing!

As we have digressed to ground heights, I think I read somewhere that Blundell Park was the lowest ground in England at just 2 feet above sea level.

Very rare a team doesn't get relegated who doesn't have problems both on and off pitch.

I don't think there'd be a great deal of complaints should it fall a further 4 or 5 feet

Spot on there me old China, lowest football league ground . But the lowest football ground is Canvey Island FC in Essex. Just below sea level. One of my teenage haunts. Essex girls . Gorgeous
