Do we know why Clotet got the sack?

[Scotchegg]

No conspiracy. No accusations. Personally i think because of the timing it had to be something to do with the failed scouting trip to Scandinavia. But I dont know.

Or maybe to do with the results and the fact that he gave it the big'un to the crowd only to then get beat by a Bury side who hadn't even scored in about 8 games!!

It's Oxford United, not Game of Thrones! Not everything has to have some deep and disturbing conspiracy theory behind it!!!

Conceding 7 at home isn't always good for your long term future either.

We had a chairman who actually had a pot to P**s in and could afford to pay off an under-performing employee?

That was a month before the sacking. Why would Eales have put the time and money into the scouting trip if he was thinking about sacking him?

Didnt say it does!

Is this the nonexistent scouting trip, or was that a different one?

should've gone after that in my opinion. clearly wasn't working out and would have had all of January to strengthen with new manager

Didn't say anything, but implying a lot!

Sad and boring!!!

Shouldnt have been employed in the first place. He set us back years and destroyed what apples had built. If we had chosen lampard we would be getting mega bucks from chelsea for his services now. (Probably....)

The most pointless thread of the summer so far.

So far! I imagine that there will be many more!!!

I think its a pretty good reflection on the initial point.

Started off well with a lot of intrigue and promise.
But quickly showed it was more of an assistant thread than the real deal

Anyone who understands football could see the players weren't playing for him against Wigan.

Even more odd that you think people should be posting on here during working hours rather than before work/on their lunch!

I was just asking if anyone knew.

Just a strange original post!

Why mention Clotet now, unless of course you know something or heard a rumour?

 

[Leysboy]

Silly season is under way I see

Can't agree with that. A week later we won 2 games on the bounce. MK and Blackpool.
Wigan were much much better than us. Losing to Bury did for him. Apart from the Charlton win we were just as bad with Faz as caretaker.

As opposed to one that gave his manager time to become the form team in the league in the last quarter!
