Mathew Hudson 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.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Luke Hannant falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Ryan Woods 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.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Luke Hannant runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 18. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Oldham Athletic pick somebody else ahead of Kane Drummond

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

Market24 Aug 2026

Billy Waters is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Oldham Athletic has been clear about where Billy Waters stands, which is more than many ever get.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Oldham Athletic

Luke Hannant 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.

Michael Mellon falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Too much change too quickly at Oldham Athletic

6 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

No place for Donervon Daniels in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Donervon Daniels has his answer from Oldham Athletic; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

Match15 Aug 2026

Oldham Athletic share the spoils with Gillingham

A 1‑1 draw with Gillingham leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

Boardroom17 Aug 2026

Oldham Athletic turn down the training-ground plan

It is the quietest way a club tells you what its ambitions are. The money was asked for, the money was refused, and the people who work there every day now know exactly where they stand.

Off the bench and decisive: Calum Kavanagh

The substitution nobody applauded turned out to be the whole story. Oldham Athletic were going nowhere until he came on.

A move Harvey Rodgers would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Harvey Rodgers is living that version at Oldham Athletic, and it tends to show in the first month.

Mathew Hudson signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Mathew Hudson commits to Oldham Athletic for another 4 years.

Tempers go at Oldham Athletic

Mathew Hudson 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.

Squad10 Aug 2026

The manager makes an example of Calum Kavanagh

“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.

Market10 Aug 2026

Oldham Athletic and Harvey Rodgers are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

The clock runs on Ryan Woods's contract

24 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.
