Blitz upbeat about prospects

Last updated : 15 July 2009 By The Chairman
Athletic chairman Simon Blitz has sent out a positive message to all Latics fans for the forthcoming season. He told the Oldham Chronicle, "Considering the budget he has been given, the manager has put together a very good team. I would not be surprised to see us in the top eight."

"We are still losing money but, in theory, the club is debt free. We still own our own ground and are in a better position, financially, than most other clubs. The playing budget for this season will make us competitive without throwing our bank balance to the wolves."
