Keith Curle has left Oldham Athletic following their defeat to his former club Northampton Town last night. That means they are looking for their tenth manager since 2018 under the leadership of Abdallah Lemsagam. No club can stabilise like that at all. He leaves the club 22nd.

Since Lee Johnson, the average job expectancy of an Oldham Athletic manager is a shade under 21-and-a-half games. Tragic...

4 wins out of 16 league games long overdue ..
