As Steve Molloy takes the reins at crisis-club Oldham, Mark Knight - John Harbin’s second-in-command - has quit after being overlooked for head coach's job for a second time.

Despite loyalty through what has been a tumultuous period, he obviously feels that he's been let down. “It was a difficult decision ­ and it’s going to hurt. It will be a wrench” Knight told the Oldham Chronic. “I feel a little bit let down... I go with a heavy heart, but with my head held high."

Meanwhile, the Biffs' Alliance coach Shaun Gartland has taken the Head Coach job at Rochdale Mayfield.
