The Oldham Job
Avoiding the Relegation Zone
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oldham Athletic announce new Manager!

Following the departure of former Oldham Athletic Manager Paul Dickov, who resigned from his managerial role on the 3rd of February 2013 after he lead the club to poor league form, Oldham Athletic Chairman Simon Corney has announced to the media that they have found a new manager to take over the managerial reigns.

Unknown American Manager Christopher Everett, who turns 32 next-birthday, has signed a three-year deal to keep him at The Latics for the foreseeable future. With Oldham finishing just above the relegation zone last season, following Paul Dickov's shock resignation and leaving Tony Philliskirk in charge as Caretaker Manager, Everett hopes to somehow take Oldham up to the Championship and then, the Premiership.

Christopher Everett joins a veteran Oldham Staff, with the likes of Tony Philliskirk, Paul Gerrard and Mick Priest still staying at the club after Dickov's departure. How Everett will cope at Oldham, with the League One side being his first venture into management, as the club will be fighting a relegation battle that will probably have Everett's managerial role on the line as well, only time will tell.

Simon Corney said 'We would like to welcome Christopher to the club. Although he is a virtually unknown manager, I believe he shares the same ambition and determination as the Board, the Fans and the Players. Although we are in a tough situation and many fans believe that signing an unknown man to the job is risky, we at Oldham believe that he is the right man for the job."

Oldham Manager announces first signing of the season!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
images


Oldham Athletic A.F.C. is happy to announce the first signing of the 2013/14 season and under the reigns of Christopher Everett.

James Dayton, aged 25, rejected a new three-year deal with old club Kilmarnock and has instead agreed terms to a new two-year deal with The Latics.

Dayton told the club website, "I know what this new manager wants to do. He is ambitious and wants to take the club forwards, and I hope that I can aid him with that."

Dayton becomes the first signing for newcomer manager Christopher Everett, who has been in charge of Latics for barely a week.
