Not wanting to disparage Oldham as for many years they were a 'bigger' club than us but looking at their current league position and financial situation if it were me I wouldn't consider this to be a job I'd put high up on my CV. Maybe just above my time as McD head 'flipper' but below pig sty lead shoveller and gentleman's outfitter inside leg measurer

ELK Didn't he coach Blackpool into the Premier lge when Holloway got all the credit ? Massively underrated coach who i'm told did a poor interview when applying for the manager's job down here. Better passer of the ball than Barlaser i am told so must have been good when he played for us !

Yes a good passer of the ball, he made a perfect partner for Kevin Watson in midfield

Slightly off topic but, can anyone remember a player, I thought he was a Thompson that played a few times back in the mid 70’s
I think he was a winger, had a lot of pace, think he was also an England schoolboy international?

There was another Steve Thompson that played for Lincoln and Sheff Utd but he was in the 80s

This Steve Thompson later worked for Sky but was dropped by them following a homophobia witch hunt
