Manager/Coach Really? Why?

[Sarge]

Backroom staff to increase in size ....https://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/sport/16908723.karl-robinson-planning-backroom-additions-at-oxford-united/

silly of me to think it was the playing squad that needed adding to ?

 

[Sarge]

 

[Paul Cannell]

If Tiger (and partners).........

Holy fuck, Pete. You reckon Waitrose is sponsoring us now?

 

[Berliner]

As per usual from KR there: "We're planning a big signing/a good striker/a free agent/new staff, but nothing's confirmed yet."
Setting himself up for disappointment as always.

 

[Gary Baldi]

So appointing a Director of Football?

 

[Paul Cannell]

Beggars belief that Tigger's letting KR restructure the management almost as soon as he's (KR's) fucked up the squad recruitment.

 

[Ox4Eva]

Maybe they are moving Faz on!

 

[mooro]

Indeed. If Tiger (and partners) have the money to increase the backroom team, let's hope they have enough dosh left to bring some players in too. A decent striker or two, perhaps?

Is there a transfer window for backroom people?

KR continues to muddle up the business mantra "under promise, over deliver"

 

[mooro]

Maybe they are moving Faz on!

Wishful thinking - although the emergence of Long on Tuesday indicates something has shifted in that regard - not one of Faz's favourites I understand...

I was surprised that they didn't do this when Derry was appointed.

 

[Marked Ox]

I'll wait and see what actually happens and what positions are being created before making any judgements.

Yes. Almost like giving your back up keeper a new contract, then not playing him but bringing in an emergency loan keeper!

How dare you be rational! Do you not realise that we must moan about everything that comes out of the club and especially if KR has said it?!

 

[mooro]

Yes. Almost like giving your back up keeper a new contract, then not playing him but bringing in an emergency loan keeper!

Plus having another promising younger chap on the staff that instead of promoting you send off to the U23s

 

[Paul Cannell]

Now now. Stop judging KR on what he's done. Mr Wig'll flip.

 

[AscotYellow]

seems likely its a DOF role rather than a coaching role

 

[Foley]

Yes. Almost like giving your back up keeper a new contract, then not playing him but bringing in an emergency loan keeper!

Who have him a new contract?
It sounded at the forum in not so many words that Stevens is not considered as good enough at the moment.

 

[Common Villager]

Think they're referring to Shearer.

 

[Jerome'SAle]

Definitely director of football now that tiger's vetoed the Maynard signing.
