Lots of questions for our owners to answer. Why was his miserly 1 year contract not greatly improved weeks ago?
Back yourself and be confident!I'm pretty sure it is 'reins'.

Let’s just hope that the cost of living in Oxfordshire doesn’t leave us with too few options.
He could of said, yes I've been approached . it would of showed proof of his favourite word. INTEGRITY ......Oh aye, he may well have known Saturday, but "officially" he can't have known if approach not made to OUFC/clause not triggered - so he's got to tread the line.
That being said, I don't know what people expected him to say "yes I've been approached, and I'm just waiting for the contract to be drawn up"
Get out of here with that logic and reason, this is not the place for that!For fans, football is tribal, passion, life itself at times.
For managers, it is employment. They may love the club that employs them, may thump the badge on their coaching threads with sincerity after a win, may stay a while, and may come back to lifelong applause if they are a legend, but the rules of employment mean they will almost always take the opportunity and the money higher up if offered.
If Man United sacked Ten Haag and took De Zerbi from Brighton, Brighton took McKenna from Ipswich, Ipswich took Mousinho from Portsmouth, and Portsmouth took Williams from Notts County, would all of those managers on the move be dishonest, disloyal snakes who secretly hated the clubs they claimed to represent proudly, or would they simply be employees performing well enough to get head hunted for an even better opportunity?
When has any manager ever said that when being linked with another job? Other than when their club has publicly confirmed an approach?He could of said, yes I've been approached . it would of showed proof of his favourite word. INTEGRITY ......
exactly no integrityWhen has any manager ever said that when being linked with another job? Other than when their club has publicly confirmed an approach?
If Manning was approached himself prior to Bristol City officially approaching OUFC or triggering his release clause, then again, he's hardly going to admit being tapped up publicly.
The sack season is about to get going. There might be some good managers up for grabs in the coming weeks.
On the plus side, we only need 18 more points to stay up and it's only November!Just hope we end up having a season like Plymouth last year and not a season like 2013/24 when Wilder left us.
Sack season and good managers don’t necessarily go together. Plenty already out there from last few weeks alone, one or two of which you could argue would be good, but the others no thanks:The sack season is about to get going. There might be some good managers up for grabs in the coming weeks.
