General Post Rowett - who next?

Remember we used to sing in the London Road, “West Ham where are you?” And it all kicked off, great days

Yep one game on particular - an eerie silence until we sung that. They usually concentrated on the far right which itself showed respect. Let the battle commence.

 

[Mojofilter]

Would be closer to the pitch if I watched the game from my bedroom than if I was at their ground.

One ground I’ll never have an interest in visiting whatever the reason.

Saw the rolling stones there a few years back and that was fun, at least

 

[Orkney Islands Yellow]

Trip to the Olympic Stadium next season would be another great reward for staying up!

We haven't played West Ham in a league game since 1993........

That would be great! Let's hope for a sustained new manager bounce.

I quite enjoyed my one trip to the London stadium…but that was with the Burnley supporting in-laws a few years back when the West Ham fans were storming the pitch and directors box etc to protest…quite funny to watch.

 

[holdsteady]

I would go to the Olympic stadium just to watch Oxford play, might not be the best matchday experience but be something to see us play in the stadium that held the Olympics I watched on TV in 2012. Plus I went to Gateshead away so it will just be that on a grander scale.

On West Ham protests they are a bit fucked, the last time the old ICF tried organising anything they got invited into a meeting with Sullivan and sat next to him was a very, very "respected" east end businessman whose presence alone was enough for them to decide they didn't really fancy holding a march against the current ownership.

 

[ECYellow]

I’d take watching West Ham at the Olympic Stadium next year, over watching the scum in their asbestos ridden s**t hole.

Every day of the week and twice on a Sunday.

We did lose the away game 5-3 in November '92 and beat them at home 1-0 in '93. Johnny Lager, Jim Magilton and Andy Melville scored at theirs and Andy Melville scored the winner at home.

I think Julian Dicks scored for them in the 5-3 defeat.

(Oxford Goalscorers etc from Rageonline)

From what I remember of the away game, didn't we score in the first minute for 1-0? It must have been around the same time as the 5-5 v Portsmouth, we went on a run around that time of games with shed loads of goals.

Another day without an announcement, when will it end .

 

[Paul Cannell]

Anyone else with a growing sense of unease, disbelief and sheer panic?

Aye, but it's nowt to do with football.

Midnight.

Well the job is available so bring on Europes elite?.

I know you're being facetious, but actually - yes.

I'd love to see who has applied. And who has been ignored.

But more importantly, it's a proactive thing isn't it? You don't necessarily wait for applicants. You identify those you could recruit. It's called headhunting. And it happens at senior levels across all industries.

I think part of the low expectation levels from our fanbase is because they equate this process to trying to find a 0.6 FTE Administative Assistant on Indeed.

But this is a (high) six-figure salary role as the footballing figurehead for a club in the 5th best League in Europe that offers a potential springboard to the PL and all the riches that brings.

We don't need to put 'free staff parking' on the advert.

 

[Stranger]

Couldn't hurt

 

[Made-in-Jericho]

Aye, but it's nowt to do with football.

You’re referring to a growing sense of Trump, China and Putin?

We have enough of those on the SMT already.

Can admin add No Manager to the list, I'd like to change my vote. Thanks.

That was in 87 , Leworthy scored and Hardwick had a blinder. ( we had just signed Hucker ) .
Great game .
The others basically had Joey v Dicks with Joey running him ragged.90's

 

[Paul Cannell]

footballing figurehead

Stand at the front of the ship, take whatever comes and make the captain and officers look good.

Job description in there, too.

 

[Orkney Islands Yellow]

Let's hope for a sustainable new manager.

Its a job for 12-18 months tops these days.

I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't free on matchdays.

 

[TheDukeOfBanburyshire]

Let's face it. We're a Mickey mouse entity under this regime.

Amazing how many of those captains and officers have managed to get into positions way above their level of competence, and ability, avoiding any accountability despite repeated off-field cockups.

I think I was at the '87 one as well, think we scored very early in both of them.

Edit: Just found the 5-3 game on YouTube, it does mention a really early goal for Durnin...

 

[WuTang]

Let's face it. We're a Mickey mouse entity under this regime.

We're literally in the Championship with a new stadium on the horizon. We are as far as a mickey mouse entity as I have seen in my 32 years watching Oxford United.

No club is perfect, but my word let's have some perspective.

 

[Oxford57]

The longer it takes to make the choice the less bothered I am about it all to be honest

 

[Orkney Islands Yellow]

Let's face it. We're a Mickey mouse entity under this regime.

The regime who took us to the championship for the first time in 25 years, have funded us bettervthan any point in history and have us within touching distance of a new stadium?

I know results aren't great currently but let's remain reasonable!

 

[werthersoriginal]

Let's face it. We're a Mickey mouse entity under this regime.

In what way?

 

[Joey]

Let's face it. We're a Mickey mouse entity under this regime.

I've heard that Mickey Mouse wears a Tim Williams wristwatch.

Didn't Jerome say on The Dub it would be towards the end of this week?

edit: word-for-word, 'It's going to go deeper into the week than imminent.'. That was on Monday.
