Franchise Notes: League One Side Oldham Misses Payroll For Players, Staff

League One side Oldham failed to pay the wages of players and staff for September. The club, searching for a new manager after sacking John Sheridan last week, is "in the midst of trying to secure fresh investment." Employees "were due their monthly pay packets last Friday but are now left unsure when they will arrive." Club Owner Simon Corney "is understood to be away in America" (DAILY MAIL, 10/4).

Russian President Vladimir Putin mocked Zenit St. Petersburg on Tuesday "for not fielding enough Russian players." Putin said that Zenit could not claim to be popularizing football as a "truly Russian game" because it did not "give enough starts to Russian players." When Zenit President Sergei Fursenko suggested "more attractive styles of play" could attract fans and make football "a real Russian game," Putin "hit back," saying, "You've got eight foreigners running across the pitch, playing for Zenit in the Europa League, well done" (AP, 10/3).

Harry Redknapp
has been asked to "work in an advisory role" with League Two club Yeovil Town Manager Darren Way, the team announced. Way contacted Redknapp after the 70-year-old former Tottenham manager was sacked by League Championship side Birmingham City last month (REUTERS, 10/4).
