Seen elsewhere that Bristol City have made a formal approach to Oxford to speak to Liam Manning this morning.
Manning set to be confirmed as the Bristol City boss within the next 48 hours. I hate football.

Might as well as thats where they usually get their players from.Seen elsewhere that Bristol City have made a formal approach to Oxford to speak to Liam Manning this morning.
Heard his interview on radio bristol on the weekend, it was pretty clear he’s interested.Manning set to be confirmed as the Bristol City boss within the next 48 hours. I hate football.
Only at Oxford 8 months. Another stone stepper. Hope he bombs naturally..Heard his interview on radio bristol on the weekend, it was pretty clear he’s interested.
Very frustrating, though I suspect LM's experience with MK Dons has taught him that when the opportunity presents itself, jump ship to avoid a repeat scenario of leading a club to near promotion and then being sacked months later. It's sad, but in some ways he's probably justified his own decision in an attempt to avoid a repeat scenario.Only at Oxford 8 months. Another stone stepper. Hope he bombs naturally..
I think he has every reason to be pissed off. He was virtually on the scrap heap after what happened at MK Dons. Oxford give him a chance and he's off at the first opportunity.![]()
Liam Manning To Leave For Bristol City | Oxford United Football Club
Oxford United can confirm that Head Coach Liam Manning is to leave the club with immediate effect after deciding to join Bristol City. Also departing is his assistant Chris Hogg.www.oufc.co.uk
CEO Tim Williams doesn't sound very happy.
He's probably trebled his money. So him and his family could be set up for life if he's got a good enough contract. Problem is with that lot of fans . They are not very forgiving if they lose a few games.I think he has every reason to be pissed off. He was virtually on the scrap heap after what happened at MK Dons.

I know there's little loyalty in football now, but that does take the piss a bit.

Much more worryingly, I don't have much faith in the decision makers at the club to make the right call on his replacement. My assessment I gather is shared by a number of supporters too. It would be just our luck if we end up with someone bloody awful. They have a big decision on their hands and it's just as important for the football club as it is for their own credibility.
The only comfort being that I imagine their previous experience of dealing with a madcap manager in Karl Robinson probably means we can rule out the 'personalities'...
Decent chance of a promotion on the CV with Oxford though and then more (better) doors will open. He wont get that at City, they just sell their best players and don't reinvest in the team.Its not great for Oxford but don't get this loyalty talk with managers, lets be honest if he has a bad run hes likely sacked, if anyone on this forum gets offered double the wages they likely take it, you'd be nuts not to.
Thats just the food chain nature of football unfortunately, we had it with Micky Adams when cruising towards promotion and Sheff United came calling, hurt us massively but could understand it from his POV, he did come back to finish the job mind!
Craig Short's interview regarding his departure was telling. The lack of communication with the playing staff and Radio Oxford's suggestion that there were some very pissed off players hearing the news much later than they should likely is naivety on LM's part. I really don't think he's covered himself in glory.Those decision makers appointed Manning.
On Manning. The timing is poor for us without doubt. I understand Manning wanting a nice pay rise but it is frustrating nonetheless. Especially as he jumps at the first smile in his direction after only 28 games even though having been given everything he wanted.
The one thing I will say though is Manning can never use "integrity" in interviews again or as a standard he holds others too as otherwise he is a hypocrite. Further to this, I doubt this only happened over this weekend either and has been ongoing for weeks.
Also, he and Chris Hogg didn't say goodbye to the players, but might later on zoom, even though he was at the Training Ground. Nice bit of disrespect considering he said those players got him the move apparently.
I don't think it will happen but I'd like Des Buckingham as he is a highly rated Head Coach, currently at Mumbai but part of the City Football Group and has links with us from the past.
It shouldn't be allowed to happen mid season.![]()

We had the same when Coughlan left us riding high in this league (although he dropped down a league instead of going up one!).It shouldn't be allowed to happen mid season.
Who?Our new manager betting market has been suspended after Des Buckingham flew in from nowhere (as in not on the list at all prior to lunch time) to 4/6.

Our local radio media didn't seem convinced there was anything in terms of coming here, which makes the odds shift even more bizarre if that's the case.Radio Oxford making massive hints that he is joining us but don't know how accurate. We have done some interviews so possible.
He started his coaching career with us and has been at Wellington Phoenix, one of the Melbourne clubs (albeit Assistant manager I think) and is head coach of Mumbai where he won the title last season. Is part of the City Football Group and highly rated by them. Previous clubs before Mumbai seem to only have praise for him.
Edit: Managed New Zealand u20s and u23s as well.

I understand our two ex players Leahy and Hanlan had quite bad injuriesNot surprised there was so much injury time in the Wycombe v Stevenage game !
Was there a long delay due to an injury ?
What has changed, you were flying at the start. If its just injuries not much he can do?Avalanche of calls for Caldwell out.
Won't happen though, board is soft as shite
