Chairman Chris Moore (pictured) recently spoke to GMR's 'Extra Time' when he gave an frank and open account of Mick Wadsworth's departure from the club. He said, “I'm abslotulely delighted with Iain Dowie, I was absolutley delighted when he joined us in the first place and I always said then that if Mick wasn't with us - going back to the middle of last season - Iain could quite easily have done the job. I came to the stage where I felt that I wanted to see more of Iain on the first team duties. I felt that the struture and the setup that we put into place with Mick and Iain was broadly holding Iain back quite frankly and not moving at the pace that I wanted to move at with the changes in the club. Mick pretty much resisted some of the changes that I wanted to make to basically speed things along and give Iain his full reign sort of thing instead of holding him back with obviously the knock-on frustrations that were apparent inside the Club - and Mick found this completely unacceptable to him. I come from a very simple standpoint. At the end of the day Mick Wadsworth worked for a limited company, it's called Oldham Athletic Football Club Limited and he was requested to carry out a reasonable request for work under his contract and he refused to do it and there's only one conclusion to that and it would be the same with anybody quite frankly. I'm now delighted that Iain's in charge - I'm absolutley thrilled that he's in charge, quite frankly. And quite frankly there's a completely different mood change around the entire Club from the playing staff to all the support staff and administrating staff and everything throughout the Club. No disrespect to Mick whatsoever, I wish him every good lick at Huddersfield”.
