Paul Scholes has resigned from Oldham Athletic with immediate effect, after just 31 days in charge of the League Two club.

The former Manchester United midfielder was appointed as boss of the Latics on February 11, but remarkably after just over a month in charge he has called time on his first managerial experience.

The 44-year-old, who supported Oldham as boy, has claimed he has been forced to walk away from the role as he feels he is unable to "operate as intended" and has stated he was misled before taking job.

Scholes won his first match at the helm of his hometown club, but subsequently drew three and lost three games during his brief spell in charge.

The 44-year-old issued a statement, that read:

'It is with great regret that I have decided to leave the club with immediate effect.

"I hoped to at the very least, see out my initial term of 18 months as the manager of a club I've supported all my life. The fans, players, my friends and family all knew how proud and excited I was to take this role.

"In the short period since I took on the role it unfortunately became clear that I would not be able to operate as I intended and was led to believe prior to taking on the role.

"I wish the fans, the players and the staff - who have been tremendous - all the best for the rest of the season and will continue to watch and support the club as a fan."

It's very easy to sit down on live TV to criticize players, manager and their tactics.
Just give them the chance to manage and they will flop.

G Neville was making noise as an analyst but floped in Valencia

Playing football and managing are different ball game

Omg

You see all these guys above me, they must be corrupt.

How they manage to remove from FTC is beyound my imagination.

Buhari please add them to list of kwarupt people.

Talk is cheap

Am so happy for his records there. This guy frustrated Mourinho at man u

Mourinho's spirit haunted him.

Paul Scholes was Mourinho's chief critic. Now that he has tasted the murky waters, he will be more sympathetic to Mourinho, while Mourinho will be like... right now.
