Oldham apply to go into administration, meaning they could face huge points deduction which would leave them next to bottom of the League Two table.
Staff and players at the club have been told this months wages could be late as the Latics are served with a winding-up petition over unpaid taxes.

The League Two side have been summoned to the High Court on 18 March after a claim by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC).
The club has told BBC Radio Manchester that they are in the process of paying the outstanding debt.
HMRC had a similar petition against the club, who are in 19th place in League Two, dismissed shortly before Christmas after the Latics paid their outstanding tax debts.
Fans have their reaction after hearing Oldham apply to go into administration…
I swear these clowns are match fixing. The 5-1 defeat at Exeter had corrupt goal keeper written all over it. The defeat at Crewe also looked dodgy.
My sympathies to all Oldham fans.

Correct. Oldham are indeed breaking. Not like we didn't see it coming. We've had decades of decline, and now it's finally coming to a halt.
I'm almost happy to start again.— Andy (@AndyLatics) February 28, 2020
Another NW lower league team in trouble

Admin > -12 points > new owners > Promotion next season #oafc

As much as the fans won’t like this, this will save another Bury from happening in many ways as it’s not up to the owner of who the sale goes to

Well that’s it, my club is going the way of #buryfc
Old owners are owed are a fortune and have asked for administrators to be appointed, at the same time as HMRC have given us a winding up petition.#OAFC vs Bury is going to be a huge Non League rivalry! https://t.co/PGtdcLW11W
