Oldham Athletic owner Abdallah Lemsagam has agreed to sell the financially-stricken club after coming to an agreement with the landlords of Boundary Park.
Lemsagam is deeply unpopular at Oldham having overseen two relegations in his four year reign, including this year's plummet to non-league for the first time in the club's history. A series of off-field problems, controversies and fan protests have marred his time at the club, and the Moroccan said in January that he would look to sell Latics and find a new buyer.
However, a long-running dispute with the Boundary Park landlords over who owns the stadium and its newest stand, the Joe Royle Stand, appeared to delay any sale — until the club confirmed in a statement that both parties have come together and found a buyer who could take over in as soon as a month.
