Oldham Athletic owner Abdallah Lemsagam claims he is willing to sell the League Two club and is speaking to 'credible bidders'.
The Latics, without a manager since Keith Curle left in November, are currently under a transfer embargo, sit bottom of League Two and four points from safety having played more games than their competitors.
Oldham could become the first club to have played in the Premier League and be relegated to the National League.

Fans have staged a succession of protests calling for Lemsagam, a former Moroccan football agent, to quit Boundary Park after overseeing the club's demise in his four years at the helm.
