Oldham going bust

Last updated : 13 June 2003 By Simon Turner
Last year's promotion rivals Oldham Athletic are on the verge of bankruptcy, with manager Iain Dowie admitting that they are "almost at the endgame."

Such news has been hovering around the Football League for the past eighteen months as various clubs have survived by the skins of their teeth to get away with blatant over spending and under earning.

This sad news really does show how well Crewe Alexandra is run. We know our limitations, and this is one of the reasons why Rob Hulse has been put on the transfer list. It is well within our financial interests to sell him.

So as Oldham Athletic seemingly sleeps its last night tonight, just think how well Crewe Alex as a football club is run.
