Current Staff Change of role for Faz

OM report on the subject ....

https://www.Oxfordm**l.co.uk/sport/18638873.derek-fazackerley-moves-new-oxford-united-role-upstairs/
 
Firstly, thanks to Faz for all he has done and it looks like he will continue to make a contribution.
I would imagine Mous would want to play as well, but he is the sort of calming influence that KR needs, but perhaps it's not the right time.

I'm hoping the new first team coach is a similar character, rather than a Shaun Derry type!
 
I am glad Faz is staying on in some sort of capacity. I agree, get Mous trained up!
 
I'm glad he is staying - a calm and experienced individual but understandably doesn't want the day to day of coaching. If we can't get best out of some like Faz in an advisory role, there is no hope at all!
 
I was told last week to expect a new face at the club this week, and one that would really show our intent. I assumed it was a player (which may well still happen!) but maybe it's an off the field appointment. I know that there were different thoughts about Mous being able to fully commit to coaching whilst still playing, so I suspect that he'll do another year in a role that links the playing squad and management informally with a view to move into the dugout properly next season.

I would guess that we would look to bring in someone who could step in if Robinson is tempted away. His stock remains high, and a good start to the season with us, and someone like Brentford struggling could lead to another Blackpool situation, but one he'd not turn down.

So I'm guessing fairly young (late 30's) ex player with some coaching experience at maybe youth levels at a bigger club, but with a lot of potential.



......or Mous announced at 10am!!!! ??

I agree. He has been a constant through recent success and Pep so keeping him and his knowledge at the club seems a no brainer to me. He will take some of the pressure of KR I think in those other areas like developing the training ground.

I’d be surprised if there was that much foresight in the appointment of an assistant. Every club will have staff who can step in if a manger goes and a lot of assistant roles are just stepping stones to something better.

How about Richie Barker, current assistant at promoted Rotherham and someone who has assisted Robinson before. Thats the sort of character we should be looking at and someone who has clearly done a decent job.
 
He’ll do what he wants, he’ll do what he wants...

Pretty sure Karl has worked with Leven before as a player... got some good coaching experience now as well. Can’t doubt he has a decent footballing brain.

With no disrespect to Mous if that’s a new face and show our clubs intent, then I think that would be a ooor announcement with Mous being made coach.

If Mous is the best man for the best man for the job, it's what I'd prefer. I can see him being a good fit for this club for a few years to come.

I'd rather our club's intent (as far as 'name brands') came from some on-pitch signings.

So would I, just saying that if this potential news about Mous is the showing of intent then I think it’s poor, Mous would make a good coach
 
beyondthefourth said:
Well, Scotchegg's hearsay regarding showing of intent referred to a 'new face'. So it's doubtful to be Mous (unless he's spent his few weeks off in Harley Street)

I thought that, just replied to @Scotchegg regarding his post about statement of intent.
Although I thought that may have been eMatty Taylor the statement of intent
 
Phil Neville, just putting the name out there. No rumours, no “I’ve been told” just a name who’s available that’s all. Also Karl in the past has brought in Ian Wright to help out, again just putting the name out there.
 
beyondthefourth said:
Also, Pochettino.

Ian Wright with his media work might not be a option, but why not Phil Neville? Very good coach with lots of good links. Has said he wants to get back into men’s football & if I recall, someone mentioned on here before that IF Karl was to move on then the club would like someone who can step up to the managers job in house!? Again I’m just bringing this up for debating purposes, that’s all.
