NEW MANAGER: {enter next candidate here}

[tonyw]

I think he is Oxford United living legend. What a team we had late 90's. I thank you Robin Herd for bank rolling us.

Matt Elliott was the best player I've ever seen in a yellow shirt (started going to games early 90s). No idea whether he would be a good manager or not, but I hate the suggestion of him less than some of the others on this thread!

On the Robin Herd front.....no doubt that his heart was in the right place. But he also mismanaged the club off the field to the extent that we ended up with a rusting pile of metal in Blackbird Leys rather than a new stadium. If he'd done a better job, none of us may ever have heard of the name Firoz Kassam.....and we'd all be better off for it!

You're assuming he wasn't making a metaphysical point.

Err, excuse me MC, if I may finish, oh and thank you Belgium Yellow. If I may continue, the only way the manager situation will be solved is if we embrace, and try to understand the origin, structure, and space-time relationships of the universe

Who would you prefer Faz or Svennis?

I owe MY an apology. He said BBC South said immanently and they probably did.

129 pages of frenzied/ frazzled supporters wondering what is going to happen next. Seemingly 24/ 48 hours from naming someone we never thought would come and the Forum has almost ground to a halt. We’re an odd lot us Oxford fans (and probably exhausted by the whole thing too!)

Surely if an appointment was going to happen this week the media
would be briefed in advance that a news conference was being
held? We could hear something in the next 24 hours.

Derek Frazakerly was assistant to Sven at Man City and Leicester.

Hope this news conference is better than the last one ? Maybe we should have an Interpreter on standby.

Surely Chris Williams will be on top of this after the last debacle.

Im hearing it’s going to be Hope Powell. Need a woman to sort out all these guys

Of course! Why has no one suggested Beckham? He’s such a hasbeen we’ve all forgotten about him, I guess

Hasn’t he got a house in Oxfordshire?

I think Dean Saunders may be in the mix. Was at the game on Saturday. Last result as a manager was a loss to Swindon so not the best pedigree!

You’re just saying the names of former players now

Herd bought me a pint in the Standard so I'll not hear a bad word about him!!
