Putting things right, not that I've noticed, and I'm not bothered whether it's Water Eaton or anywhere, I'm only interested in what helps our club more forward, and to be honest I'm more concerned than I'm happy at the moment.
Put it this way, there's nothing more I'd like to see than Darryl behaving like he did 3+ years ago, but I don't see evidence of that. In fact I feel as if he's acting almost completely the opposite.

So u haven’t noticed a new md, a new head of academy, 2 new academy coaches, work to finalise the training ground situation ? Even if u were a dwarf I’d bet you’d never be happy

Agree with that, but maybe it's because he's doing the same stuff but with a different approach?

And the band kept playing on the titanic!
I'd question the md situation. I mean, even he doesn't know how long he'll be here.
Yes, I liked the sound of Dan, quite refreshing, but I do worry how long he'll stick around under if the lack of direction continues. Be interesting if he's so upbeat in 6 months or so if things remain the same.
Regarding the training ground, yes will be good, but it does feel as though this is peripheral in terms of a financial commitment by the club and more related to the council bailing us out, so not completely providing evidence of financial support within, if you know what I mean.

Wondered how long it would take
New forum but same old De and Oxvox bashing
You can please all of the people some of the time but never some of the people all of the time
Every one of us will have varied opinions on all things Oxford United whether it be players staff manager Owner Ground but why a need for this constant bickering, it's tiresome.

I believe, and agree with. that OxVox have signed a NDA about NDA's signed.

I don't remember moaning that we didn't have an MD, and to be honest to some extent I don't and didn't know what roles and positions were/are vacate at the club.
Regarding the new MD, he seems a nice enough guy, but he certainly didn't fill me with confidence about where we're going or that he's in it for the long haul. I actually got the feeling he was just filling a void.
Now Dan come across as a man who had vision, drive and enthusiasm etc, so like I say, I hope he still has those traits in 6 months or so. But I did notice he had an 'oh s**t what have I done' look in his eyes when he heard some of the stuff being said.
I remember talking to a number of players a few years ago when Kassam was in charge, and them telling me that they joined because what they saw e.g. a nice shiny new stadium and what appeared to be a club on the up, but within weeks the reality really set in and they regretted the move/coming here.
Re OxVox, it's not a dig, I would have thought the fans representation would have come out with some statement/concern re; the sacking of a manager at a pivotal point in the season, and the lack of communication and direction from the club, wouldn't you?
Don't even you find that odd?

No not really. My first thoughts on waking up (besides family issues)
Do we have a new owner
Do we have a new manager
Do we have any new players
Not once do I log straight into my emails to see if Oxvox have sorted the situation.
De is away yet u still want them questioning him and getting answers. The rest of the club are not talking to the oxmail, bbc oxford, none of the players are on social media, yet u find it strange they are not all keeping Oxvox up to date with proceedings ?

Concern at the sacking really? why the need for a fans representative to make a statement on this matter?

Not in isolation, but the general direction of the club or should I say lack of it.

OxVox recently held a members meeting, of which minutes have been issued. Since then, nothing has actually changed at the club, other than the manager being sacked. Although this is an important issue, it is not one that a supporters trust would normally comment on, as the committee would have their own personal views on it, as they would all playing matters.
So what actually do you want us to say, that we haven't already said? Or do you just want something, anything, to be able to pick apart and criticise?
Edit: Looks like I've risen to the goading Pete.

Funnily enough, I didn't get them either.
Like you say Colin, it is an important issue, so don't you think OxVox (fans representation) would actually comment about what they think about the situation at the club e.g. Direction of the club, timing of the sacking and possible take-over rumours etc?

Yes, so I wonder what are their personal views from a fans perspective regarding the current status of the club.
Like I said before, what have oxvox ever done for us, really quiet, you are supposed to be the voice of the fans, how’s Daryl, where’s daryl, what the f**k is going on, or don’t you want to ask leading questions in case you annoy him, bit like ogb, how’s that going.

Just make a statement saying that we're really disappointed with the lack of communication and direction from the club, and that it's affecting the feeling on and off the field surrounding the club.
Edit; or that it's having a negative impact for the club and undoing all the positive work put in over the last 3 years or so.

Wasn't that got across to the MD at the recent meeting organised by OxVox? I remember seeing it mentioned but may have imagined it.
If it was raised then why keep repeating it?

If Oxford don't want to be annoyed, why did the new MD and Academy manager go to an OxVox meeting where any question could be asked?
Likewise, if OxVox don't want to annoy Oxford why would they invite them to such a meeting?
These 2 questions rather punch a massive hole through your point.

And conveniently the ONLY person who could truly answer the meaty questions wasn't there.
Should the oxvox illuminati have been dispatched to drag DE back from abroad?
How dare DE try to sign a player during a transfer window, instead of attend an ox vox members meeting !
Our intrepid chairman has been living up to the Slippery nickname of late....as in hes very elusive .... the local media tv,radio &newspaper can't track down DE for comment or statement ...why then should any of oxvox comittee (elected by oxvox members) fare any better?

Or because he was trying to sign a player that if the claims are true (and they didn't come from the Oxford end) for a record transfer fee and it being a full back. How very devious of him!!!!
Ironically something most, if not all, people on here wanted!

Hi all
Some interesting points on this thread.
Just for clarification, there have not been any notes sent out following the recent members meeting. They'll be included in the next committee meeting minutes which will be in the next couple of weeks.
Also, as you'd expect, we are in very regular contact with DE and the other members of the senior management of the club.
Making a statement about Peps departure, wasn't, we thought, necessary at this point and with DE out of the country, we haven't been able to have a formal meeting (just phone calls) about the current situation and 'next steps'. DE is not back in the country yet, but meetings are in the diary!
Please be assured, that issues around 'communication' ARE being raised and we are not blind to the need for an improvement in fan engagement.
I'm writing this whilst driving (not behind the wheel!), but having picked up on the thread, thought it important to chip in!
Cheers
Jem
