It's the year 2050 and Stuart Findley and team Ed McGinty have been fired from their position as coach and assistant coach. Paddy McCarthy linked to the vacant role.

Stuart Findlay will be manager of St Mirren.

We'll be paying 85% of his salary.

We are in the championship and he got a team promoted from the championship so we shouldnā€™t be overly bothered what he did or didnā€™t do in the PL - thatā€™s a whole new ball game there. Plenty of very respected and reputable managers have been relegated from the PL with a bit of a whimper - current PL boss Sean Dyche on two or three occasions! I havenā€™t really followed his career too closely in terms of his approach but if you take the job at Oxford you know exactly what tools youā€™ve got in the box so adaptation will be key in keeping us up and then you can begin to imprint your philosophy on the team next year - no manager wants a relegation on his CV so I have confidence that whoever gets the job will play to our current strengths to get us out of the mess.

The point being made is that he won't adapt his style and so got a team not quite good enough for their league (saints, prem) relegated.

I have to agree that sounds pretty much our current predicament and so it has to be a no to Martin.

Still (please not him) hoping for Bloomfield as the most suitable candidate

I'm worried the time being taken will mean it's either a big name with no experience, a big name with poor results or a totally left field foreign manager.

Look at the last few appointments.
KR, Liam Manning could both be described as a gamble.
Gary was out of work, had a couple of failures on his CV, and not much in the way of promotion.
Could argue that Des only had foreign experience, didn't know EFL, was also a gamble.
Overall didn't turn out too badly.
 
This feels like a critical time for the club and once the appointment is announced there needs to be no negativity lets save that for May. The fans need to get behind whoever is installed for every game, Home and Away, as staying up would be massive and give us an excellent opportunity with the dead wood all being out of contract to establish ourselves as a midtable Champ club. Sunderland atmosphere every home game could be the difference rather than the Swansea atmosphere!

Couldn't agree more, get someone in the stands, go strong lineup and smash the plastics

agree 100%

though lets not forget the same SMT, who are at least partly contributory to a whole, catalouge of mismanagement issues, are still in place

I have accepted that middle management is often full of Tim nice but dims, and so it's best to just try and forget they exist.

I agree there has been some silly decisions but the next ones off the rank may be even worse and hopefully these ones will learn not to be quite so silly.

Football seems to struggle to find really good senior managers, I guess it's probably for the same reason our politicians are also often weak, very little upside and lots of downside.
 
As a distraction from first cars, predict the order these events will happen starting with the earliest:
- section 106 signed
- next league match win
- next new player signed
- new manager appointed

It's common for football clubs to do this, it's not just an Oxford thing but we had Robinson (emotional/attacking) and replaced him with Manning (boring/pragmatic). Replaced him with Buckingham (reverse mullet) followed by Rowett (pragmatic/set-pieces) so obviously the sensible choice would actually be someone like Manning.

Undoubtedly though, given the criticism of boring Rowett, we will go with someone high press and exciting.
It makes squad building difficult - see the excess of wingers and lack of midfielders that we have that would have suited Buckingham (but not Rowett).

If we havenā€™t filled the position, through weeks of recruitment recommendations or application. By refusal or not being up to what we deem we need.
Then why not Chris Hogg and no Manning package..
Weā€™ve been mentioning the likes of Still, OShea, McCarthy etc. all have been in the background assisting someone. Keith Andrew as others have mentioned.
Was liked here and at Bristol, another bonus would be, he is familiar with the coaches, and most of the sqaud.

It appears obvious we have already appointed someone but keeping it quiet just so TW can have a bit of revenge on all those miserable bastards on Yellow Forum.

I predict all of them will occur before we are next awarded a penalty. I'm 50-50 on whether our next penalty will be awarded at The Triangle.

Here's a conspiracy

I was thinking maybe the reason we have not appointed any new manager yet is because Erik is selling the football club and the new owners want their own man in place. Perhaps that's why Erik apparently pulled the plug on Rowett when he did.

Anyway back to the real world šŸ˜

And everyone says I'm the mental case round here!
