Paul Scholes has expressed his sadness to see Oldham Athletic get relegated from the Football League on Saturday.
The club’s fate was confirmed following a 2-1 loss to Salford City, whom Scholes part-owns, after a long interruption due to an on-pitch fan protest. Supporters stormed the field with ten minutes of the match remaining to show their disdain for owner Abdallah Lemsagam, unveiling a banner that read ‘Get Out Of Our Club’.
After initially being announced as abandoned, the match was resumed and completed behind closed doors. The game remained 2-1. It means Oldham will not be playing within the top four divisions of English football for the first time in 116 years next season.
