Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham says he will not abandon Oldham Athletic fans as they bid to save their football club following relegation from the Football League.
Oldham's problems have been well-documented in recent years, with fans unhappy at the ownership of Abdallah Lemsagam and his brother Mohamed, the club's sporting director. In the last 12-months, fans have stepped up protests against the Lemsagams, with on-pitch disruptions, boycotts, and planes flown overhead to keep up the pressure on the club.
After relegation from the EFL for the first time in the club's history was all-but confirmed in April as defeat to Salford loomed, hundreds stormed the pitch at Boundary Park with banners reading 'GET OUT OF OUR CLUB', with relegation later rubber stamped as the game was completed behind closed doors.
