Awesome lets get on with it ,lets get them players fitter ,stronger and playing better attacking football and if we go down lets all make a real go of it. Welcome Matt wishing you a long and happy time at the club.

 

[Lescottsforehead]

I notice at the bottom of the statement it mentions further announcements regarding his coaching staff so hopefully that means he’s bringing his own team in. May have contributed towards the delay?

[Bretch Hill]

Looking foward to some fresh ideas and a positive approach to everything on and off the pitch. And please keep us up . WELCOME.

 

[Osei Yaw]

Well he's already off to a better start than Rowett was as he wasn't announced in a match preview.

Good luck, Matt.

[Essexyellows]

Welcome aboard................ steady the ship and get us firing.... please,

 

[Jster]

Really interested to see how he sets us up. Hope he has as much of an impact as our last 3 appointments!

 

[Amarillo88]

He talked about adding one or two more players this transfer window in the interview on YouTube

He’s in good nick with some touchline dress sense as well, not to put you in to sensory overload.

Got quite tired of seeing Rowett’s little marathon running legs in tight lycra looking like he was coaching a boys team in his spare time.

Ridiculous comment.
6.5 for hair.

 

[Concretebob]

Time to get behind the manager and team.

 

[SSO]

Welcome Matt

Like a dusty carpet he will take some beating

 

[Malc]

Welcome Matt. Succes.

 

[McXal]

Yep, certainly not my first choice and it’s borderline farcical it’s taken so long, but he’s in now. Time to get behind him. COYY!

Decent. Let's go.

Is that using the Josh McEachran scale for teeth? If so, that probably goes up to 11.

 

[Manorman]

Probably goodbye to Craig & Chris.

 

[Wallop]

Bloomfield Out! Well someone had to.......

 

[bazzer9461]

All we can ask Matt guv it your best in trying to keep us up and then hopefully you can start properly this summer as Championship Oxfords manager

 

[Manorlounger]

That was something that leapt out at me.

"An announcement regarding any additions to Matt’s coaching staff will be made in due course."

If he gets the same runaround that Des suffered then the SMT will deserve every criticism going. Nobody likes to see staff leave but, if the new man works best with his own team around him, then that's what he should get. Manning turned up with an entourage and it worked.
Nothing against any of the current coaching staff but this is football and it's a hard world.

I hope that any announcement has just been delayed to finalise contracts, salary etc. I would also hope that Shorty's contribution is recognised. Perhaps Hacket could return to his previous role. Vital, at this time, is that our status as a Championship side is made safe. Anything else is secondary.

Dam it man you could have waited to see what the result is tonight……..

 

[JerryL]

That middle ground between not the one i was hoping for or the one i was somewhat dreading, fair enough really
2 home league games to start with, lets get 4 points please!

Decent. Let's go.

Will he look good riding a lion though?

 

[Jster]

Watching the interview, it's plain that he's big on both "connections" and "integrity".

 

[JerryL]

Lions have like 10/10 hair and 11/10 teeth so i think itd make him look worse in comparison
Im glad we're starting off with the right questions though

Watching the interview, it's plain that he's big on both "connections" and "integrity".

Those are certainly both 'behaviours'

If the same group of staff he’s taken with him everywhere don’t come with him then it’s time we get more vocal calling for a change of our SMT.

We shall see.

Essential question and I can only assume that they had a mock up done during the interview to check.
