That opens up all sorts of chants for/against perhaps? Most of em involving sheep....?

If they say he could be in the dugout on Saturday (he won't) then it must be pretty close to completion in a matter of hours rather then days.
Take with a pinch of salt though it's the sun.

 

[Malc]

I'm quite neutral on this, if true.

Any reason why you’re adamant he won’t? The message from OxVox in another thread clearly indicates that we’re potentially going to hear news by Saturday.

Leauge one strugglers ??? Cheeky bastards

 

[Briggsy]

I'm actually fairly happy with this, though I'm not sure if that's just more relief that it looks like we've finally appointed someone.

What i mean by he won't be in the dugout on Saturday is he won't take charge. Faz has constructed training and prep for Saturday so i expect Bellamy will watch from stands on Saturday if he is indeed appointed.

Proof reading is clearly not a priority for the Journalist or The Sun.

 

[HeyMcAleny]

I believe Bellamy will bring exactly what we need at OUFC, which is of course mandatory karaoke at team bonding sessions:

Think this is going to happen this afternoon. Bellamy now 1/10 with sky bet

Never made up a story ever .

 

[Discoland]

Just checked Alan Nixon's twitter. Not usually wrong.

To paraphrase it's in the final stages of the deal, being done by current owner.

Wonder if they'll hurry up a press release if the Sun is reporting it now.

I've really warmed to the idea after reading round what he's been up to.

 

[Andy Stroud]

Never made up a story ever .

Especially about people with a link to Liverpool!

Alan Nixon is well connected, so if he's reporting that, it's a promising sign something is happening.

Daily Mail clearly think so http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...verpool-striker-Craig-Bellamy-Oxford-job.html

"... Oxford, who find themselves sitting in 21st place in the third tier ... "

 

[Northstand Grandad]

It must be Bellamy because he's got the tattoos

 

[BotleyOx]

A m8 of mine who knows someone itk says its confirmed that Bellamy is the new manager, i hope so cos its doing my head in as well now

 

[Kamal]

BBC Oxford on Saturday were pretty certain we'd have a manager by Northampton

 

[Manorlounger]

Nice that The Sun can announce it ahead of the club. And we don't matter either. Great marketing and press management.

[Oldham]

I’ve heard Bellamy has joined the local swingers society......

Ah, fair enough.

Let’s hope he does that classic approach of being in the stands for the first half but then joining the dugout for the second half as we dig out a hard earned win!

 

[The Hawk]

Does he have his coaching badges?

Would you expect the club to announce that Craig Bellamy is "set to sign"?

To be fair, this happens in all industries.

 

[Gary Baldi]

Does the Oxford Mail have a new manager klaxon? Or will the new signing one have to do?
