Frankie Bunn was once known as the player who bagged six goals in a game for Oldham, but six goals conceded on Boxing Day have ultimately cost him his job.
The Latics have been on the cusp of the play-off race, but they’ve struggled to maintain any consistency despite having some strong players at their disposal. of their last ten matches in League Two and FA Cup, they’ve lost just two, but that has cost Bunn his job.
Where do they go from here? They’ve had ten managers in three years and two of those, John Sheridan and Richie Wellens, are currently doing well with clubs in League Two.
There’s certainly a feeling from fans that this move isn’t the right one, with many angry at the decision. They feel perhaps Bunn was on the right track and that maybe giving a manager time would have been the best option.
Here’s a selection of their angry responses to the sacking.
