Phileas Fogg Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Isn't Appleton regarded as an excellent coach or something? Key word being coach - I notice the board talking about a new "head coach".. Can't imagine Pearson/Moyes or other higher profile names being happy with that title.

No thanks. i think there are elements of what you say that i understand, however slowly but surely Oxford are playing some nice football and although their league position doesn't say so, they are head and shoulders playing the best football league 2 has seen for a long time. Equally Appleton has found some gems, i have been banking on about Kemar Roofe some months now as an example i am not advocating his appointment, just balancing the debate a little Darryl Eales is a really nice bloke, who could have pressed the panic button last year and didn't. He is now getting what he and his family deserve, and that is an Oxford team heading for the championship in double quick time IMO.

Major Isewater Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 In fairness he seems to have got his act together at Oxford but can't say i'd be over excited at the prospect . He seems to have something which clubs like but as yet it's all failure and unfulfilled potential . Still we know we can rely on the board to do due diligence .., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we don't get the instant reaction that many clubs who do what we've done now do then we will be playing in front of 15,000 empty seats. We need an almost instant reaction from the new boss and instant signings. Someone like a Pearson or a Moyes (however unlikely) would instantly give you a chance to sign players on their name alone and we need that. It has to be a quick fix this time, albeit with long term in mind. No point in Tisdale or Appleton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonBristolian Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 A few years back, I remember Michael Appleton being seen as a highly-rated coach tipped for big things in the game. That was before he manged of course but perhaps the idea is he's primarily a coach and the DoF focuses on the recruitment side. He certainly would be nowhere near my first-choice but neither would Cotts have been and that worked out. So, whilst I'd hope it was someone else, I'll back whoever gets appointed.
