@Philip__Hills From what I’ve read, his budget at Salford over the past 2 seasons was bigger than we had whilst we were in the championship. He’s a ‘nearly man’, promotion and relegation alike. Personally think we need to stay clear
Oxford United can confirm the departure of Matt Bloomfield as Men’s First Team Head Coach.
The Club would like to thank Matt for his efforts and wish him every success in the future.
Rob Edwards is who my money is on as ambitious as that sounds
Clear championship quality, couldn’t make it work at Wolves
Only other option is Challinor
@GeorgeHogg93 Not a chance. If we want a serious manager who’s going to take the team back up it won’t be him.
He’s a ‘nearly man’. We need something fresh that can carry on from where Matt left
@AlfieOUFC1@OUFCGoldenBoy The clubs exhausted all reasonable options. They’d be asking again to build on green space and have to go back through all the legal work and application for a new site which will take years.
Kassam has already sold the land the stadium is on for housing so there’s no chance
@Stuartjamess For us it would be the preferred punishment but there would have had to be a full scale, timely investigation to conclude that.
The current proposed sanction is far too lenient
What should’ve happened;
Southampton expelled for multiple events of spying - Hull win by forfeit (no other team to play regardless of legibility)
Further investigation goes on into how far Spygate went before any financial or league point deduction is applied
The fine would be enough to compensate the clubs impacted through loss of earning, success bonuses and wages
Point deduction should be at a minimum 2pts per team spied on plus 3 for the offence
The expulsion for the league is tricky. You’d have to un-relegate/reinstate a team
From the outcome of the investigation, if further instances of spying are discovered from geo tracking phones, checking payments for hotels and alike you would then get one of the following
Big fine, big point deduction (or both) and if severe enough, expulsion from the league
