Oldham Athletic have appointed John Sheridan for a sixth spell in charge as the League Two strugglers turn to a proven miracle worker as a final throw of the dice to save them from their latest crisis.
Oldham's ownership problems under the controversial Abdallah Lemsagam have been well-publicised and protests from fans have been commonplace this season with multiple pitch invasions, tennis balls and flares being thrown on the pitch, and a coffin being placed outside Boundary Park.
A gutless 3-0 defeat at Harrogate on Saturday saw Oldham players booed and jeered off the pitch by their own furious away support, leading interim coach Selim Benachour to declare that everyone was against his team. The loss left Latics seven points adrift of safety at the bottom of League Two, facing a second relegation in four years under Lemsagam's reign.
