Oldham Athletic manager Micky Mellon celebrated the club's first promotion in 34 years, highlighting its significance for the team's future. Following a dramatic victory over Southend in the National League promotion final at Wembley, Mellon reflected on the achievement as a turning point, expressing optimism for growth. He criticized the current structure of promotions in the EFL and noted the increasing competitiveness of clubs in the National League, advocating for changes to support struggling teams. With the support of a large fanbase, Mellon believes Oldham can capitalize on this momentum for future success.
"It's a fantastic moment for us. This club is a monster. We were under a lot of pressure because we have a great family that back us - we needed to go up."
"There are some really big clubs in the National League who have been allowed to stagnate. The EFL has got to hand an olive branch out to its original members who are struggling."
