John Sheridan is calling on Oldham Athletic fans to get behind him and the embattled club in their 21-game bid to survive relegation to non-league.
Latics are marooned at the bottom of League Two by seven points, and are on course to become the first former Premier League club to drop out of the Football League.
The club have been embroiled in a number of scandals and controversies in the last year and beyond, with protests increasing against controversial owner Abdallah Lemsagam's running of the club. Fans have invaded the pitch, thrown tennis balls onto the playing surface, flown a plane over Boundary Park, and placed a coffin outside the club with the message 'RIP OAFC'.
