Oldham Athletic put Thomas Foster on notice
The board have said in public what they had been saying in private. Results between now and the next meeting decide it, and everybody in the building knows the arithmetic.

Pressure builds in the Oldham Athletic boardroom
The directors have stopped offering the manager public warmth. In football that is usually the stage before the short statement.

Oldham Athletic turn down Crewe Alexandra for Kieron Morris
The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Oldham Athletic sign Indiana Pedder, one for the future
Indiana Pedder is 19, and Oldham Athletic have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.
