You’re probably looking at closer to 250k.
Based on what?
Do you really think the club will sack him with 3 or 4 games of the season to go? They might if we get whacked in all 2-3 games like we did at Bolton or when it’s not mathematically possible for us to reach the play-offs which I think was the aim/objective at the start of the season e.g. not promotion, but if anything is going to happen I think it’s likely to happen post season.Are you serious????
I was wanting to ask this question all night at the forum and was politely waiting for the right time to ask this very question and then the time was up.Unless you're itk, how can you be so sure?
Given that we're safe in league 1, the results this season will be quickly forgotten once Des and the recruitment team show their plans for next season to the board.
Simple question: Was promotion to the Championship the aim for the owners this season?
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again hoping that OUFC officials read this forum.I personally think we’ll scrape 3 wins, get a draw in 1 and lose the rest, which will leave us on 70 pts and missing out on the play offs by a handful of points.
That’ll be enough to keep Des in a job and the club will start the rallying cry of ‘Get behind Des and the boys next season after a valiant attempt to make the play-offs narrowly fell short’ etc etc when it’s time to renew season tickets.
I’m not sure I’ll feel excited and motivated enough to stick my hand in my pocket. Especially with how tight money is at the moment.

After 20 odd years as a season ticket holder if the current management are in place come the start of next season 5 of us will not be renewing
Yep; I think that’s exactly what will happen. A win at Port Vale proves nothing.I personally think we’ll scrape 3 wins, get a draw in 1 and lose the rest, which will leave us on 70 pts and missing out on the play offs by a handful of points.

I’m sorry but I just don’t get this kind of attitude. Fair play, if financially you cannot afford to renew or if other commitments mean that you will not get to enough games to
make it financially viable.
However, this ultimatum style “you’d best make a change, or else” attitude is something that I struggle to get on board with. Do you honestly think the club are going to take any notice of Joshua on an online forum?
Ultimately, you’ll either decide to support Oxford United FC or you won’t. If you do then great. If you don’t and it’s purely down to who the manager is, then I think that is more reflective of you and your other 4, rather than the club trying to show some loyalty and support to the man in charge. All about opinions I guess.

Are you serious????
Yes 100% serious.
What evidence is there that he will be gone in 2-3 games if things don't improve?
What evidence is there that 'the panic button has been pressed'? What does the latter even mean?
this sounds about right. A slow painful death.I personally think we’ll scrape 3 wins, get a draw in 1 and lose the rest, which will leave us on 70 pts and missing out on the play offs by a handful of points.

How about you shut up and show some respect for a fellow human being? It might not be working out, and maybe it won't ever work out, but he's not 'stealing a wage'. He's probably doing his utmost to make this work. For whatever reason that obviously isn't working, but there's no justification for accusing him of stealing a wage. You are a nasty piece of work.Stealing a wage.
This is nowhere near as bad as Kemp and Rix.Out of interest does anyone know how Des stacks up against the likes of Kemp, Rix, Talbot, Patterson etc ? In my opinion, the football is equally as dire, if not worse, but it would be interesting for direct comparisons. If, as I suspect, it’s no better then why are we not bracketing him in that infamous bunch ?
Would you just rip up a 3 year contract?I think he will walk!! I don’t think he will allow himself to be sacked.
Purely because of his OUFC connection. He will say sorry it hasn’t worked out how he’d imagined, but in the best interests of the club and supporters and himself, it’s best we part ways.
A bit more dignity when resigning.

I think this is a symptom of the way Des is trying to play.And he's not receiving the ball from the defence or deeper midfield to be able to influence the game.
