Manager/Coach Next Manager

[Oufcrealist]

We need a troubleshooter to come in and have a new manager effect just to get the points to keep us up. I think Warburton or Wilder with Alan Knill, would be more likely to achieve that.
Gareth Ainsworth would have applied if the job had been available a month or so back but that ship has sailed now.
We can't dither though. I fear leaving the existing coaches in charge will just lead to more of the same.

Can someone explain why Sol Campbell is on the list or is it a joke?

I think it's a bit of a joke, he has quite often in the past wondered why he rarely gets a management job. But if you listen to him he comes across as very arrogant.

I think it could well be a foreign manager, someone we‘ve not heard of before. Likely from Italy or the Far East, with previous connections to the Board of Directors.

* Edit
“Head Coach”

Leam Richardson for me done a great job at Wigan,would love to see us go for him

 

[tatabanya]

Surprised to see Richardson such a popular option, a fair chunk of our fanbase would turn on him very quickly due to the style of play, or lack of it.

 

[Ewes]

Simon. Wetherstone. Now. Please.

 

[RyanioBirdio]

Simon. Wetherstone. Now. Please.

Another really interesting shout.

Along with Still and Buckingham, the sort of appointment on paper that I would love to see.

 

[tatabanya]

Simon. Wetherstone. Now. Please.

A really interesting shout, regardless of his Oxford links, and the kind of profile we should be looking at to work under a DOF.

 

[Peterdev]

Definitely not Mark Wright

Graham Potter might be available. Looks like Spurs will thump them today. Chelsea fans leaving in droves

 

[Salaghaf]

Former Ajax, Barcelona and AC Milan forward Patrick Kluivert is the odds-on favourite to become Oxford United manager

Patrick Kluivert is the 10/11 odds-on favourite to become the next manager of Sky Bet League One side Oxford United.

Remember this from last time? He’s currently available.

What’s Brian McDermott up to now….!?!?

 

[Bornyellow]

The more I think about it the more I want a short term fire fighter and then a complete rebuild come the summer, be interesting to see which way the club go.

 

[Bicester Yellow]

If it’s Robbie fowler I’ll slap whoever hires him myself

Des buckingham

Not really. He's no Ainsworth. Wigan played some nice football but he built a big physical side that could win dirty or direct if need be. A bit like the current Sheffield Wednesday side. It's what you need to get promoted. I'm happy to sacrifice trying to play football in games which don't suit. A top side can do both and we've never been able to.

If they go through their “thorough and extensive” recruitment process and end up with Robbie Fowler then we’re in serious trouble and the people making the calls will be the next to be hounded out.

Hmmm, I disagree. Plenty of Wigan fans weren’t that happy with him even in the title winning season, and were very quick to turn when the results did due to being bored at games.

I don’t see many similarities in their style of play with Sheff Wed, who play through the lines with the most technically gifted player in L1 dictating play in midfield. That Wigan side basically by-passed the middle third, played with a deep defensive line and relied on the direct running of their wide players.

I’m not against Richardson but, as I say, our fanbase is one that demands a certain way of playing and there will be many who will take one look at Richardson’s kick and run and say no thank you.

Odds list will be interesting. Suspect they will pluck most of the names off here.

I'm suggesting Timmy Mallet then

exactly this.

 

[dickwalton1964]

So who do we want?

I would go for Critchley or Richardson or a left field appointment like Emma Hayes.

Emma Hayes ? That is a p*ss take I assume.
