one gem from the Oxford forum is that he loves to give powerpoint presentations to the board   LJ mark 2 ???

He may like to do that but let him do his thing, if he gets us playing decent football and it works ... Book me in to watch a power point

If hes our manager, let's back him and not say he's x y or z! Let's judge him on what he does

What's our odds at being promoted? 

May chuck £5 on, would be hilarious if we got promoted. I can imagine the interview "you all laughed at me, who's laughing now"..

So if Curtis has gone, hypothetically Manning says no 

Who's managing Saturday? ...

ANDY KING

Ha if it's not Manning or Lampard and someone random I'm going to laugh

TomF - moderator, if told what to do they'd just be blocked ! Went about his business quietly and would practically shut down free speach if anyone called for their head after first game

"Have you had a chance to see the surrounding area?" 

"I've seen the bridge"

"Also had a bit of a scare when the driver got confused and drove me to a place called memorial ground, nearly requested to drive back to Oxford! He was saying apparently he had a similar issue on the weekend driving the Arsenal youth team"

I'm sure Barcelona looked at Pep managing "Barcelona B" and thought hmm seems a step backwards! 

So did Liam Manning actually interview for this position?

Didn't we hear how they had to all interview

Despite Jon's ramblings our squad isn't strong enough to be anywhere near top six - we won't be flying anywhere right now, regardless of whomever takes the reigns.

The spine of the side clearly needs strengthening.

Fair, I mean as I said it's a huge IF but I will say this.. get the right level of momentum any team can go on a run..

Shows how the power of social media can influence these things

I think next time we have a manager go around, we all choose a niche name that we are ITK about.. see if we can hilariously get mentioned

IE this time we should of kept saying Warnock

IF .. they get this right and IF we made playoffs.. would your opinion change on Lansdowns and respect their choice? 

Or is it more the way it happened? 

I don't agree with how this has all happened but if we get an unbelievable coach and fly up the league.. would you think fair play or still not like it? 

Just playing hypothetical, whilst we wait

Question, if we get a new manager... Will we also have a few new faces to replace Rennie, Euell and Curtis?

I assume so but

I can't keep up, we signing a German manager or Liam Manning? 

All this changing is doing my head in prefer it much more when we get one person in mind then find out we were all wrong ..

IE Chris Houghton 

Chuck this in ex players thread

I bet staff are starting rumours, highest page count wins 

If they aren't it's exactly what I would do

Ah going for promotion

F6 = fixed 

LMR= league management representative

So in total 

Fixed league management representative

Struggling to make a pros and cons list on this one 

Can someone record and repost on here tomorrow

Will he bring back staff with him or did they stay at Birmingham?

Well I went to soon with that, I can't say I've watched too much of Eustace teams... 

Anyone got a summary of style he goes for? 

To even it out and play hypothetical... 

Say they approach a manager, promise them money in January. You have to look at what they are walking into now compared to what Pearson walked in to.. 

Solid team (when all fit), work ethic is now there and players that are hungry

You compare that to some squads where they are bloated with loans or look back when we had players having it "easy" 

I think it will appeal to most, just depends on if they are right for us, combined with the pain of current situation with injuries.

Am I gutted Pearson didn't have that chance absolutely, but slowly turning to intrigued where we go.. 

Get this right and who knows

Get this wrong and well could be absolutely disasterous

Just seen this post by Mark Kelly, apart from the totally inappropriate timing the % increase of crowds caught my eye

Have the average crowds really increased by 120%? 

Surely rugby wasn't at Ashton gate then, so how can it be up 260%?

Well I see the hysteria hasn't abated this morning.

This was always going to be a hiding to nothing interview unless things were saidin exactly the way the baying mob wanted

Some of the abuse is completely unwarranted .

Give your collective heads a wobble

Some of the 'fans' behaviour is unreal 

All this because the club decided to change a manager FFS.

Not giving abuse, but surely in current climate you would expect a quick appointment of a new manager who they have lined up, rather than "process begins"

My main issue is you have two games that with Nige I would of been confident on us getting something even with the injuries. 

Now it seems we have the whole rigerous search again

I can see why fans are so annoyed, we believed in the current project despite results. If the club came out saying we aren't renewing Nige so we've cut ties as we have our candidate lined up and had to act now.. 

Well we may not like it but atleast there's a plan 

So we have two important games coming up ... And don't have a plan but fired the manager when there is an injury crisis..

Are you kidding me?! 

I would of cut them some slack if they'd said we had to act now as we have someone lined up, but this just seems there is no plan atall ?! 

Names may get added to the list?!?

Pretty sure SL wasn’t there to speak to Bears fans in person this weekend. I absolutely agree with the direction of your statement otherwise. 

He was there first home game of the season on a stage in South stand, concourse
