Tranmere Rovers manager Ronnie Moore believes he failed to succeed at Oldham Athletic because the club's fans believe the Latics should be in the Premier League.

The former Rotherham United boss spent 15 months at Boundary Park but failed to win over the Oldham fans and left the club in June 2006.

Moore said: "It was unique for me that the crowd at Oldham didn't really take to me. I don't know why.

"We finished tenth in the league when I was there which was the highest they'd finished in a long time.

"Things happen sometimes and I think the expectations at Oldham are Premier League. Because they've been in the Premier League they want to get back into the Premier League.

"I think they've been used to Premier League-type football - pass, pass, pass. But it's very difficult at this level. You look at this level now, there's not a lot of teams who play like that."
