Sheridan's side face local rivals Salford on Saturday, with a short trip to Tranmere a week later before they take on Crawley Town on 7 May in what could potentially be their final game in league football.
If they go down, they will become the first club ever to have played in the Premier League and non league! Agree with Steve, I think they'll be down before they kick off against us. If they are, maybe some form of protest from their fans on the day?
We’ll we have had a recent trend of getting mangers sacked after they play us so maybe they’ll end up getting relegated when they play us and their manager will get sacked or resign. Protests could be likely as well seem to remember they have had one or two ones earlier in the season.

Not sure that the supporters will want the manager, John Sheridan to be sacked. They will be delighted to get rid of the owners though. Relegation could put Oldham out of business, some fans think that they could go the same way as Bury.

There were some talks a couple of months ago about a potential takeover but haven't heard much recently though. I'd agree with a lot of the comments on here that Oldham will probably likely be already relegated by the time they play us at Boundary Park and I can imagine the atmosphere at that game being toxic, wouldn't surprise me to be honest if we see a pitch invasion similar to Blackpool in 2015.
A common trend in recent years amongst relegated teams from L2 is that they have suffered because of mismanagement at boardroom level (think Southend and Grimsby last year, plus Macclesfield, Chesterfield, Leyton Orient and Yeovil not too long ago)

Oxford, Luton, Notts County and Carlisle (think there may be a couple more I've forgotten have also been relegated to non-league after being in the top flight but yes Oldham would be the first to have done so having played in the top flight after 1992. Think Portsmouth and Bradford have been close previously

Is back room mismanagement not a trend with most relegated clubs in the football league in general, particularly in League Two given only two out of 24 teams go down so something has to go badly wrong to be relegated.
On a different note, seems unfair that four teams get relegated from League One and only two from League Two. Surely 3 each would be better and would help improve the standard in the league as teams would have to up their game in League Two!

Yeah fair point. Don't think it's a coincidence that two seasons in a row it is likely that the 2 that drop out of the Football League do so because of horrible ownership
Im very much against increasing the number of teams going down from L2. If L2 teams become part time (which I think could happen in this case because it may take longer for some to adjust) the FL is devalued. I can however see a Scots style bottom of L2 play top conference teams in a relegation v promotion play off happenning one day. Not sure I agree with it though.
It's a huge step up into L2 and I think having only 2 drop out creates more stability overall. There is no way any EFL club will support more teams being relegated from L2.
I see your point, but don’t forget that most teams in the National League are full time as well.
but on a Full time decline I'm suggesting, as to sustain that they need league status, crowds and associated revenue streams surely. The longer they stay PT and away from the limelight the harder surely all the above becomes.
I cannot see the number of teams being relegated from L2 going to 3 anytime soon because it's the clubs themselves that vote on those types of matters, and voting in favour of it would be like a turkey thinking Christmas is a great idea

I guess what Oldham have needed is a young manager with International and Premier League experience, maybe foreign born even, not one of the Tom, Dick or Harry types
