    New Stadium Plans - The Triangle - Planning

    The onus is now on the club to prove in the planning application, that staying at the Kassam is not a viable option. Which they would have been required to do in any event. You only get to build on green belt land in "very special circumstances". The club being homeless in less than three years...

    New Stadium Plans - The Triangle - Planning

    You can compare the two as ultimately it is the same planning policy framework which has to be used to justify in favour/against development irrespective of public feeling. The need to submit letters of support is important and carries a degree of weight but planning applications are not...

    New Stadium Plans - The Triangle - Planning

    I'm a planning consultant - though my bread and butter is in quarry development as opposed stadia, but well versed in attempting to secure planning permission for development that the local community would have you believe is entirely unnecessary and unwanted! OCC will be a statutory...

    General Jan transfer window

    Can't be the only one that thinks KR going public like this is in some way a tactical statement. A kick up the backside perhaps to get another deal over the line.

    Doesn't mean we can attract him to OUFC though.

    Four promotions - exactly the reason why we won't get Grayson. He's ticked that box and has no reason to drop down again. He also achieved three of those promotions with Leeds, Preston and Huddersfield. Without discrediting the achievement, it was hardly against the odds to get those clubs...

    Because only experienced managers guarantee success?

    Frank Lampard

    If as a fan base, we’re saying an average League One club shouldn’t give Lampard a chance because of his lack of managerial experience, who should then? Are we saying he should be fast-tracked to the Premiership because that’s where he spent his playing days? Giggs has (rightly in my opinion)...

    Is that a problem unique to Lampard? Any manager could fail or do well enough to earn a step up.

    Frank Lampard

    He's been promoted 4 times from L1. He's got nothing to prove at this level. Two of those promotions were with clubs who had no business being in L1 (Leeds and Preston). The other are now a Premiership club (Huddersfield). He made a poor decision to go and manage a basket club from the...

    Frank Lampard

    Coach being the operative word. He had a track record of failed stints as a manager. As did Appleton. Sometimes it works, others it doesn't. Why not be a club that is renowned for giving players/managers/coaches a platform. For the record - there's not a chance we'd attract Grayson to...

    Bizarre that as a fan base we are desperate for the club to sign young, up and coming talent to build on the successes we've had over the past few years but we're unwilling to extend that brief to the manager.
