Just a reminder of what the club said on 1 December 2014:
"The Board of Directors would like to confirm that we will not be extending an invitation for Ched Evans to train with Oldham Athletic nor will we be offering him a contract."

If the chairman listened to 5 or 6 players, who have taken the club to the bottom of League 2, rather than his recently appointed manager, then the club deserves all it's getting.
Hopefully, Muzza and Donachie will get a decent pay-off.
Fair point. Why didn't Citeh just transfer Richards for 4.5m Euros, which is just over £3.5m? The additional 1.5m Euros is just under £1.2m, which is nothing to Citeh.
If it's just a loan fee Latics get nothing, but if it's a transfer Latics get should get 20%.
At the end of 12 months if Fiorentina / Richards say 'no' then Latics get zilch.
If Richards joins at the end of the season Latics should get 20% - but is it 20% of 4.5m Euros or 20% of 1.5m Euros?
This needs to be clarified as soon as possible - or this thread could run for another 12 months!!
Not quite?

Believe Fiorentina have paid 4.5m euros to loan Micah Richards which will rise to 6m euros if they make the signing permanent. #mcfc
