Kingswood Robin Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 4 minutes ago, GrumpyGit said: As an Oxford fan, I hope he gets you relegated and he ends up sacked. Manning has shown he’s got no loyalty. He was doing nothing prior to his appointment, the Oxford board took him on and backed him to the hilt in the close season, now he’s shown that a sniff at the Championship and he’s off, leaving Oxford in the shit. 13 games where he managed to keep us up, just, then got us to 2nd in League One in what is a poor division. 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 Are you having a bad day?

We hate it when Bournemouth/Brighton take our best players. I hate the food chain of football, but it exists and it's part of the game. I wish it wasn't, but we've been where you are right now plenty of times. For what it's worth there's a pretty decent manager called Nigel Pearson available right now, or even Curtis Fleming. Both are good blokes who can almost certainly do a job for you in the right circumstances. You'll be fine. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he does shit, he’ll be looking for a new job and if he does well, he’ll probably join the procession to Bournemouth. It’s a pain in the arse, but it all comes down to the pecking order in the game. There’s very little loyalty on either side of the fence, so we just have to accept it and suck it up, just like when we lost Alex Scott.

I also understand one or two who have buggered off on principle. However on the basis that I'm still going on a Saturday it's pointless NOT getting behind the new bloke and also being realistic about what he can achieve. My thoughts on the Snake and Crayola are a different matter but it is pointless getting on the new bloke's back unless we are fighting a relegation battle in a few months - then he's ****** it up as far as I'm concerned. We do lack quality but are certainly GOOD ENOUGH to get results whilst changing to a style that is more attacking in time (which I thought Nige was doing anyway until the injuries derailed us). I hope that he doesn't listen to much to our football guru Tinnsy because if he thinks he can come in and start playing fast pressing football straight away with the players we've got then he will learn a very harsh lesson at the level he now manages at. Good luck to him and I hope most people have the sense to let him manage for a while stay off his back initially at least.
