Like I said, they know the timeline, they know that we need to turn this form around, they know that time isn’t on their side. But, I don’t want them to rush into appointing an ‘easy’ option, be that the cheap option or otherwise.I wouldn’t, we played better yesterday but we need fresh impetus, where a new manager comes in and the players want to impress that manager & be playing for their futures. Fair play to Short for being forthright and honest in his interviews (it makes a change after the KR drivel) but, there’s nothing new there, no change. It’s the same coaching staff. They have all got favourites & the players are comfortable, they need to be taken out of their comfort zone and don’t underestimate the extra 10% players will give while playing for their futures under someone completely new.
I think we can argue for ever about the timing of KR’s sacking. It’s a basket case club that sacks a manager after 3 defeats, even 4 or 5 defeats with a draw amongst them could be seen as a touch harsh. Perhaps he went on a game or two too far (I think he should have gone after Cambridge) but I don’t think the board got it as wildly wrong as some are making out. Hindsight and all that ….
If we have a choice of the other candidates and we choose a washed up Neil Lennon then we’re down.I'm not itk but a rumour from the training ground is we have approached Neil Lennon.
I hope its not true mind.
Judas .. after what he’s been through health wise, he didn’t get a 500k budget increase here when he asked for it and he doubled his wages as assistant to a manager in the premier league, it’s not like he left us to go and be a number 2 at Shrewsbury.Didn't MAPP jump ship for the assistant coach vacancy, at Leicester was it and some of you want him back ! Everyone has there price MAPP is no exception a judas as far as I'm concerned!!
Judas - really?
As fans, we have one club for life and so feel huge loyalty to OUFC. Players and managers are transient employees of a number of clubs. Appleton was offered a 150% pay rise to take up a position at a Premier League Club where he would work with players like Vardy and Maddison on a daily basis. He also had less pressure in the role due to being the Assistant Manager rather than the main man. If you got offered a 150% pay rise to move to a better firm in a role with less pressure, what would you do?
Would tie in with the fact his odds collapsed the other day. I’ve heard we’ve interviewed Appleton,Manning & Warburton at the very least.I'm not itk but a rumour from the training ground is we have approached Neil Lennon.
I hope its not true mind.
That’s fair enough, respect what you are saying mateLike I said, they know the timeline, they know that we need to turn this form around, they know that time isn’t on their side. But, I don’t want them to rush into appointing an ‘easy’ option, be that the cheap option or otherwise.
Only 39% on here have coted for MAPP so 61% have voted for someone else.Agree it‘s not their job, but when the clamour on here is for Appleton and not one of the RadOx panellists is in favour just seems a bit out of line with the fan base.
I’m probably reading too much into it!

Almost 40% support from the fans base out of literally any available manager seems pretty high to me. The 2nd and 3rd most popular options both seem to be out of the frame, so it would be interesting to see how those who voted for either Critchley or Richardson would re-cast their votes.Only 39% on here have coted for MAPP so 61% have voted for someone else.
All academic though as its not us who decide - FWIW I would go for McCannAlmost 40% support from the fans base out of literally any available manager seems pretty high to me.
