Squad3 Apr 2028

17 days out for Christopher Wright after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Oldham Athletic will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Player ratings3 Apr 2028

Ryan Woods, 34, rolls back the years — 7.84

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 7.84 at 34, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Squad3 Apr 2028

Michele Cavion stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Michele Cavion and Oldham Athletic agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

The dugout3 Apr 2028

Kane Drummond frozen out at Oldham Athletic

This is not rotation. Kane Drummond has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Oldham Athletic is pretending otherwise.

Squad3 Apr 2028

Defences have started doubling up on Keiber Lamadrid

9 goals and a season average of 7.29 will do that. The space he used to find has gone; he keeps scoring anyway, which is the mark of the real thing.

Squad3 Apr 2028

A row about effort at Oldham Athletic

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Robbe Quirynen was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout3 Apr 2028

No hiding place for Robbe Quirynen

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Robbe Quirynen, and the manager let it.

Boardroom3 Apr 2028

Oldham Athletic release $1.5M for the manager

The board have put money on the table rather than an encouraging word. What happens to it now is somebody else's problem, and somebody else's job.

The dugout3 Apr 2028

Oldham Athletic keep their word to Francis Gomez

Clubs make promises constantly and the page usually only hears about them when they are broken. This one was honoured, and the dressing room noticed that faster than any supporter did.

Market27 Mar 2028

Only the photograph left for Mitch Clark

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Mitch Clark will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Oldham Athletic the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad27 Mar 2028

Christopher Wright breaks a bone — 24 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 24 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

The dugout27 Mar 2028

Moisés Delgado: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Oldham Athletic have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Boardroom27 Mar 2028

Mitch Clark signs for Milton Keynes Dons while still at Oldham Athletic

The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Mitch Clark has agreed terms with Milton Keynes Dons for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.

Squad27 Mar 2028

Tempers go at Oldham Athletic

Jasper Moon was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad27 Mar 2028

Words at Oldham Athletic training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Robbe Quirynen is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad27 Mar 2028

Brandon Brocksom wants to go home

“I have tried. I have really tried, and every day I wake up in the wrong place.” Nobody at Oldham Athletic can coach that out of a man, and nobody there is pretending to.

The dugout27 Mar 2028

Mike Fondop gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Market27 Mar 2028

Calum Kavanagh runs his contract down

3 months remain and no agreement is close. Every week without a signature costs Oldham Athletic money.

Squad20 Mar 2028

Christopher Wright breaks a bone — 31 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 31 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Player ratings20 Mar 2028

Age has not caught Michele Cavion yet — 8.13

At 33 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 8.13 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Market20 Mar 2028

Harry Griffiths hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Oldham Athletic can pretend not to have heard.

The dugout20 Mar 2028

Dynel Simeu says Oldham Athletic went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Match18 Mar 2028

Oldham Athletic make it 3 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Oldham Athletic have 3 straight wins of it.

The dugout20 Mar 2028

The manager makes an example of Harrison Ashby

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Match18 Mar 2028

Oldham Athletic keep winning on the road

3 away wins in a row. Travelling support is the truest kind, and this season it is being repaid in the only currency that counts.

Match18 Mar 2028

Oldham Athletic find a way past Bristol Rovers

Bristol Rovers made Oldham Athletic work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Squad20 Mar 2028

Words at Oldham Athletic training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Robbe Quirynen is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Market23 Aug 2027

Zach Awe asks to leave Oldham Athletic

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

The dugout23 Aug 2027

Frank Tattum says Oldham Athletic went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Transfer targets23 Aug 2027

$220.0K settles it between the clubs for Matt Macey

Colchester United have accepted the money. What Oldham Athletic do not yet have is the man, and between here and the photograph is a conversation about wages that both sides are dreading.

Player ratings23 Aug 2027

Age has not caught Kieron Morris yet — 8.08

At 33 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 8.08 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Transfer targets23 Aug 2027

Oldham Athletic baulk at the price for Joe Powell

Fulham wanted more than $570.0K and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Boardroom23 Aug 2027

Graduation day at Oldham Athletic

5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Transfer targets23 Aug 2027

Oldham Athletic rebuffed over Lamine Cissé

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Everton have kept their man, and Oldham Athletic go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad23 Aug 2027

Moisés Delgado in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Oldham Athletic this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market23 Aug 2027

One of our own: Edward Clarke joins the Oldham Athletic first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Edward Clarke is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
