It would appear that Manchester United legend Paul Scholes will be swapping the red half of Manchester for the somewhat bluer climbs of Oldham Athletic, in a player manager role as part of a dream team bid to turn the clubs somewhat pantomime fortunes around. Boo hiss! his boyhood heroes may be late with the wages again, but hoorah! plans afoot for a refinancing to save the show -for the show thespians, must go on.. The Latics currently sit 15th on 47 points and could do without a 10 point deduction to take them into the relegation zone so time is of the essence.
However salvation appears to be afoot to make the cash flow issues a thing of the past and to make quite a few’s dreams come true. Paul has been a fan of the Latics since the age of 9, regularly goes and sees this as his last season at Manchester United. However he plans to do more than just be a face in the crowd from next season it would appear.
Whether that will be in the engine room as well as the technical area is another matter of course.
