Oldham Athletic 2000–01 football season
These are the details of the 2000–01 Oldham Athletic A.F.C. season , who competed in the Football League Second Division .
Season summary
Hopes were high for the Latics at the start of the 2000–01 season after a 4–1 opening day win at home to newly relegated Port Vale , but a run of 11 games without a win saw the club slump to second bottom in the league, making relegation look a real possibility. The signings of veteran winger David Eyres and midfielder Tony Carss gave the side added impetus and the Latics recovered well to again finish comfortably mid-table.[citation needed ]
