Micky Mellon's Transfer Plans for Oldham Athletic
Oldham Athletic manager Micky Mellon has revealed that he has already earmarked targets for his summer recruitment drive, aiming to strengthen the squad and improve their chances of finishing in the top seven. The Latics boss has put plans in place for next season, labelling the club "a good proposition" for the players he wants.
What happened?
In the final month of the campaign, Oldham Athletic suffered a run of four straight defeats, their worst sequence of results this season. However, manager Micky Mellon has explained that this has given him more insight into what is required during the transfer window to help strengthen his squad.
Why it matters for Oldham
The influx of injuries and run of defeats has led to the Latics' challenge for a play-off spot falling away. However, Mellon is hopeful that he will be able to have a better look at the transfer market this season, unlike last season when they were only certain of which division they would be in on June 1.
What comes next?
Mellon is hoping to have the benefit of time to strengthen his squad, unlike last season when they were left with a short turnaround. He revealed that he has already been looking at the market, but will endeavour to put a group together so that things like the last five games don't happen. Next fixture: vs Chesterfield (away, 2027-02-20) (15th in the table).
