where's the joy Posted July 30, 2021 Report Share Posted July 30, 2021 A few interesting comments from a pal who is a keen Oxford Utd fan; most of which cheered me up COD was too controlled by his dad (who is also his agent) and has been held back in stepping up to the heights he is capable of because of his overbearing father's know it all attitude. He should get his own agent! Mark Ashton was a poor appointment for them who hid from trouble, took centre stage when there was applause but was deemed thoroughly untrustworthy. Their fans were thrillled when he left and couldn't understand us falling for his bull. Atkinson is a baller and a great player in the making. Times this runs as well as Harry Maguire. Only criticism is that when he advances he tends to pass inside and miss the overlapping fullback. A very solid purchase for us, who will do well Lastly what a good manager you now have, you will start motoring from here on I bought him a cider and thanked him for his soothing sentiments and said I would spread the word...........so here you are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teflon is just who you need in a crisis, the sort of bloke who you want stood next to you in the trenches. He's the guy who leads everyone over the top of the trenches without a second thought. A leader, an out and out warrior, someone who takes everything on the chin himself as long as his troops aren't under fire. No amount of money you pay a man like him can be too much. Just ask Ipswich fans if you don't believe me..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He definitely was at an early stage wasn’t he? maybe even when he moved to us. Was in the secret footballer books & fairly sure was reported he was the reason the move Derby broke down wasn’t it?

Think COD was part of Key Sports Mgmt, who got bought by Wasserman. LJ was also KSM. Wasserman are pretty big I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
