Manager/Coach Next Manager

[NewburyYellow]

Nothing at 5 then

 

[Orkney Islands Yellow]

Still no announcement, change of mind?

 

[The mighty Aldo]

Maybe he’s met the squad and thought , you know what I’ve changed my mind

 

[Thomas/Brock/Jones]

As Tim and Grant say...' How soon is now '

 

[Berliner]

Maybe he’s met the squad and thought , you know what I’ve changed my mind

"Where's that Murphy chap, best player in League 1 apparently..."

 

[uptheus]

And?

I didn’t specify a day

 

[WuTang]

Maybe he’s met the squad and thought , you know what I’ve changed my mind

Erick just pulled up to the training ground in a Maybach, handbrake turn. He's put a stop to the appointment whilst Wesley Sneijder and Javier Zanetti walk through white smoke filled double doors in the background...

Imagine Stars in their Eyes, basically.

 

[uptheus]

"Where's that Murphy chap, best player in League 1 apparently..."

Is that statistically correct?

 

[Mojofilter]

Collectively sue radio oxford for use of the word "Imminently" the other day?

 

[Paul Cannell]

Go the long way.

I did, I did. It's reaching the point where, having wanted Appleton, decided McGann was fine, and Liam Manning was most satisfactory, that I'm searching for the good points of Bernard fucking Manning.

 

[uptheus]

Well, we know this simply cannot be true, as I’m sure he would have reviewed the stats first!

 

[Jster]

Sadly they’ve been tainted by association. Hopefully they can now show what they about.

Mousiniho was also tainted to a degree, but he managed to leave the madhouse and is now showing what he can do given the chance.

Quite. There's this odd logic at play, where people claim the coaching staff are all rubbish, but then also pine for a member of the coaching staff that got away. It's all just prejudice, written from a position of zero knowledge.

 

[yellowbow]

They’re scrambling around for Appleton’s number after Manning sprung it on Tim at the 11th hour that he was bringing an assistant with him…

 

[Eaststanding]

I am so firmly in the camp that's disappointed with anyone but Appleton.

The folk on here criticising us for wanting the fun nostalgia candidate sound like they spend their time sat in beige rooms weighing up which Volvo best represents their own sense of self-importance.

But if we appoint Manning, then he's Oxford and gets all the support and all the songs that 99% of potential managers would get. Absolute madness to suggest otherwise.

If Manning is brilliant then I'll happy get the beers in town after we seal promotion in 2024. If he's rubbish, we can go back to winding up Scotch Egg and giving the Execs pelters.

Fun and nostalgia are hardly long term sustainable traits for a successful manager though are they..And I haven’t even got a Volvo.
Live in the past by all means with your sepia pictures of League 2 promotion and memories of a chairman that promised to buy supporters a pint at Carlisle United but if it is Manning it sounds like we’ll have a young, progressive manager using all available technology to help him and the team to be successful, backed by wealthy forward thinking owners who want to grow the club. I know which one I prefer for now and the future.
Just announce Manning, with Appleton as his assistant..

 

[bicesterox]

They are taking the p1ss now

 

[behindthegoal]

Probably Manning is stuck at the airport after a holiday.

 

[Mellowyellow]

Quite. There's this odd logic at play, where people claim the coaching staff are all rubbish, but then also pine for a member of the coaching staff that got away. It's all just prejudice, written from a position of zero knowledge.

Come, these guys have been part of the problem all season. If they had produced success then they would be kept on.

 

[holdsteady]

I did, I did. It's reaching the point where, having wanted Appleton, decided McGann was fine, and Liam Manning was most satisfactory, that I'm searching for the good points of Bernard fucking Manning.

If you have a pathological hatred of turkeys or foreigners he is your man (can never remember which one is which).

 

[Orkney Islands Yellow]

Nothing at 5.30. 6pm announcement?

We're surely not going into another game without a manager at least being confirmed if not in the dug out?

 

[holdsteady]

Maybe the owners got so fed up of the calls for Robinson head that they came up with a cunning plan to stop it happening again, just never announce a new manager.

Which does make it sound like we are owned by Baldrick.
