I saw the Marriott links, personally I think Eisa would be the better choice. If it does turn out to be Ladapo, I suppose that buying three players from the same club will go some way towards integrating them all into the group.

Are there rumours of that happening? There are a few whispers that he might be on his way out from our end and with Dane Scarlett going the other way he’ll probably be available. The only club that’s been mentioned is Derby but not sure if there’s any truth in that because I think they’re...

Thought I’d give my views on Kyle Edwards as a Town fan. In short, it’s a really solid signing. It’s a shame it never worked out for us but he’s shown some great glimpses of talent, is a really good runner and a decent option to bring off the bench to get the crowd going. He’s much better at...

Hello I've put together a League One season preview, with a little bit about Oxford in there. How are you all feeling about the season? From an outside perspective, I really like the transfer business, which makes a change from the previous few windows. League One is definitely there to be...

Hello Thanks for the responses to my blog last time I posted it and to those of you who subscribed. With the international break coming up next week, I decided to take a short break from writing about the EFL and talk about why I think the FA were correct to give Gareth Southgate one more...

Interesting to see Manning looking likely to get the job. I didn't mention him in the article because he wasn't among the favourites at the time, if I remember rightly. Overall I think it's fairly positive. Two out of his three seasons in management so far have been successful ones. His MK team...

Interesting, thanks. He's a good boss but is more process-based so may not be suited for a relegation battle but if you can get through the end of this season, he'll make a positive impact moving forward. I've had a little read around the other thread and it seems Warburton is a contender too...

I think that game you’re referring to was the 0-0 in late 2009, which was broadcast on the BBC. Wednesday went down that year but we were still just as bad as they were. Keane probably set us back a decade. He inherited a squad a few shrewd signings from the Premier League and left one which...

As an Ipswich Town fan, this would be a disastrous appointment for you. Granted, he hasn’t had a management job for 12 years so there’s a chance he’s done some self-evaluation but based off his time with us, he would be an unsuitable choice. When he came in, we had just finished 9th and had a...

I’ve managed to get 10 minutes to remove the bit about the budget and re-word it a little. Thanks to those who have commented so far, hope you enjoy the edit!

Cheers for the feedback and the read. Will do a bit of a wider edit later on.

Thanks, appreciate the feedback, I probably made the budget appear smaller than it is. It’s certainly bigger than the other teams at the bottom and many in mid-table. Would you agree it’s still probably fair to suggest the budget at Oxford isn’t as big as it is for ourselves, Sheffield...

I Interesting shout. I’ve added a bit about him into the article, as I forgot to post it originally. If he’s available he’d be a great pick, just not sure if he’d be up for it. He’s spent most of his career up north and may choose to wait as he won’t be short of offers up there, especially...

Cheers, wasn’t aware of that. The couple of Oxford fans I know tend to go with yellows, but that’s probably due to my age!

Hi everyone I’m an Ipswich Town fan who has just started a substack for EFL content. I usually publish articles every Sunday but have written a bonus piece about the unique challenges of Oxford’s next appointment. I’ve linked it below. I would be interested to know who your preferred...
