The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $61.4K — a club that wants Raekwan Nelson enough to be asked twice.

Layton Love turns down Oldham Athletic
The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: West Bromwich Albion keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Oldham Athletic bid $53.0K for Raekwan Nelson
The offer went to Bristol City this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Manny Monthé wants to go home
“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Oldham Athletic know it.

Oldham Athletic rebuffed over Joe Buršík

Timothy Moore steps up from the Oldham Athletic academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Timothy Moore has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
