Latics owner says future of club is his priority
OLDHAM owner Abdallah Lemsagam has promised fans he is committed to the club after damming reports staff salaries hadn’t been paid on time.
And he revealed he is paying £200,000 a month of his own money into the Latics.
In a statement, Lemsagam said: “I have the utmost respect for all the staff, we are all one family at Oldham Athletic and I apologise for any inconvenience that it may have caused.
“I am still working to get the club back on track, we are striving to fulfil the commitments of the previous ownership which hasn’t been easy and I am personally contributing over £200,000 each month.
“There are also a number of other financial commitments that have recently come to light which were not previously known through due diligence.
“The positives will always outweigh the negatives for me and the future of the club is my number one priority.
“We are set to see some more changes at the club which will be announced in due course.
“These changes will involve the day-to-day running of the club and admin side of things, again the club’s best intentions are always at heart when it comes to these decisions and changes.”
Oldham will be looking to maintain their position at the top of their Checkatrade Trophy group tonight by gaining another three points with a win against bottom of the group Everton Under-21s at Boundary Park.
