xerox6060 Posted November 6, 2023 Report Share Posted November 6, 2023 Unnecessary for NP to go when he was just starting to build something IMO..but Liam Manning the most interesting and motivated option for me moving forward..definite risk but then aren't they all...feel enthusiastic about the appointment whatever happens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He and his family are settled and he's building a good side at Oxford But nothing has been put out by the club, so is setting the smokescreen up?

I don't in the slightest think it is a smokescreen, however the club wouldn't put something out to create one. They'd leak something to the media and create noise that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, he is clearly still at Oxford today, preparing for a game, and talking about a game. Not what you would expect about a manager about to leave. Nope if he had agreed to be with us he definitely wouldn't be continuing his current position which to me seems we haven't done sod all yet.. what a surprise here's to another few weeks Edited November 6, 2023 by Street red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phileas Fogg Posted November 6, 2023 Report Share Posted November 6, 2023 In an alternative history scenario whereby we hadn’t had a very divisive spell with Lee Johnson and the Holden disaster - it would be very intriguing to see how a Manning appointment would be received. I think, understandably, the recent history has created a bit of a hangover. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
