Yeah, rumour has it Scholes was told that nobody would interfere with team selections - which is why he’s turned down the job several times in the past. So wasn’t happy when the owner stuck his nose in.
He also wasn’t happy that the owner was best mates with all the players and socialising with them.
Personally I don’t blame Scholes for walking out. He wouldn’t have taken it lightly, he’s supported Oldham all his life.

Exactly. There's obviously something going on that we don't know about yet. He's well respected and a very grounded guy. I don't think it's just a clash of personalities.
