2031…. I can just see the national press interview now…I can already visualise the thread on here in 8 years time discussing the pros and cons of rehiring KR.
‘Enigmatic Oxford United manager Karl Robinson leans back in his chair in his office in the Karl Robinson Suite nestled under the Karl Robinson stand in the new state of the art stadium that is just crying out for Championship football. He glances out the window at the 25 ft statue in his image that the club proudly unveiled when it moved into its new home. Intriguingly it depicts him, bare chested, wrestling with a lion… “Tim Williams came up with that design”, he says with a smile. “It’s a constant reminder to me that I must remain humble, like that marble effigy, I must keep my feet firmly on the ground”
“This is a long term project” he says as he enters his thirteenth season, a thirteenth attempt at reaching the elusive promised land of the Championship. “Each transfer window is a gradual building block. Step by step we look to improve. Thirteen seasons of mid table is a fantastic achievement by me at a club of this size. We’re constantly up against clubs with huge budgets. Players I’m targeting are going to Morecambe for at least £10 million! But with the support I’m getting from the board, particularly Tim and Grant, I’m very confident that this will be the year”
