53 days out for Conor Coady 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.
Market20 Aug 2029
Terms done: Jack Moylan is going
Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Amiens SC waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Oldham Athletic is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.
Match14 Aug 2029
Chastening afternoon for Oldham Athletic
A 0‑4 beating by Peterborough United was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Jack Diamond 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.

Ryan Woods: 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.

Conor Coady 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.
Transfer targets20 Aug 2029
Oldham Athletic rebuffed over Jack Currie

Boardroom20 Aug 2029
7 academy players handed senior numbers at Oldham Athletic
The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Ryan Woods makes it 500
500 times in these colours, in all weathers and under four or five different managers. That kind of service is quietly disappearing from the game.
