I thought you couldn't have a plate which represented your car as first registered later than it in fact was, although if that's the whole plate perhaps it doesn't fall foul of that? Even if it is, why 'NP16'? I doubt he's buying up NP17 for next year, NP18 the year after etc. Unless'16' carries some significance it don't pass the 'smell' test - ie reeks of bull dung. As I said I now doubt it. Could be anyone with NP initials, I remember seeing a very flash Ferrari and Range Rover with personalised plates week after week last season at the gate, turned out they belonged to the Barr building contractor!

Suddenly twice as many journalists and ITK's because we'd be dealing with another club due to compensation. If it is Appleton, someone with credence will break it before it becomes public knowledge.

Warwickshire Red Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 With Ashton's Oxford Utd history some may be putting 2 and 2 together and getting 5 especially with the betting odds. Would he really think that a L2 manager could take us to the next level in the Championship? Who knows but I think that's a leap of faith and would like to think that Ashton will consider what's best for us and we need a better and more experienced manager/coach (than Appleton) at this level to progress. From his interview, no indication that anything's imminent so hope the Appleton rumours are purely that and that they give serious consideration and take any discussions with Pearson seriously. A Pearson appointment would be a no brainer and quite possibly a once in a lifetime opportunity as he's currently out of work but, as others have said, whether his demands and approach and can be made to fit with that of the club, only SL and the board will know. Fingers crossed that the club can agree a Pearson deal and make it work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not seen the video, but didn't someone say that Mark Ashton said "you'd be surprised who is interested in the job" when talking about the vacancy?

rockinrobin Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 I don't believe MA will be our next manager. We need someone with experience to get us out this league and as Mr Ashton has just said on his interview this is the hardest league to get promotion from. Mr Ashton would not leave Oxford having put all the links in place to leave and then go back and steel their manager when that combination is working for Oxford at this moment in time.That said I believe we are very much into getting the right person for the job and am inclined to think it will be NP, with his proven track record and out of work at the moment and no compensation needed, he would be the perfect fit and has the right DNA for this football club to succeed.

Well, Pearson was the man who both signed and waved forward Jimmy Glass to score the injury time goal that kept Carlisle in the football league, so he'd not be a bad choice for that division either!
