Scholes was formerly a coach at United but this would be his first permanent No1 ... Yeah, that's just a standard copy and paste type article for me, just struggle with the idea he was seriously interviewed and we decided not to pursue it.

From The Independent. Paul Scholes had his managerial interest piqued by Oldham and has not ruled out applying for more jobs in the future. The boyhood Latics fan was interviewed for the position but missed out to caretaker boss Richie Wellens after he masterminded four wins from four matches. Scholes told Press Association Sport: "I had a good chat with Mark (Moisley), the chief executive, and Simon Corney the owner. Talks went very well. "I'm sure they interviewed quite a few people. It was something I was very interested in but Rick Wellens had done so well, they couldn't ignore that. "He's brought a really good style of football, something Oldham fans haven't been used to for quite a while. I lost out but hopefully Rick will take them on and he can be successful." Since ending his playing career in May 2013, Scholes has helped out Nicky Butt and Ryan Giggs in coaching positions at Manchester United before focusing on media work.

He's always been pretty good with us (apart from maybe one time) in terms of being happy for his name to be associated with us. Similar to when Seedorf was being shown around the gym and being 'linked' with the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We signed Sylla in the week before FGR. This was after significant unexpected income from the FA Cup run and during a time when the only other player movement was outwards.
