If he’d left at the end of the season, fair enough, but to do it a third of the way through is galling. Hope QPR beat you Saturday. regards Yea but apart from that.......

AberRed Posted November 7, 2023 Report Share Posted November 7, 2023 The Oxford club statement is worth a read https://www.oufc.co.uk/news/2023/november/club-statement-liam-manning-departs/ Didn't even include a customary "Thanking him for his work during his time at the club".

The fact is, they give permission and agree compensation, so they can’t really play that card. Unless he had a clause inserted in his contract, like other managers do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Team Posted November 7, 2023 Report Share Posted November 7, 2023 So there we have it then, its confirmed. One of the most underwhelming management appointments in Lansdown’s tenure. Not quite the ridiculousness of Dean Holden, but still taken a job many didn’t want to see vacant in the first place. He’s got a hell of a job getting a lot of fans on side who didn’t want Pearson sacked, along with gaining promotion with having no previous experience of doing so. I’m sure he’s a decent bloke though and will have been briefed on what he’s walking into, good luck Liam, in any event. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may find that comes back to haunt him, but let’s all hope it doesn’t and LM gets us up there. He said the standard was that we have to get promoted? Genuine question. I've now see it repeated so many times on the forum but I cannot find the quote. Just the ones I mention in my original post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
