Good to see so many welcoming him to the club, he is damned before he has even kicked a ball lol !

I have to admit I do look forward to HRK following in the footsteps of Karacan, Pearce and Federici, in being the failure that most expect him to be. Its fair to say those three have hardly set the world of football alight with their season transforming performances last year, can't see Kanu being a...

Agree with that Snowball, that is a lot of money for someone largely unproven at this level.

Very sad news to arrive home to, RIP Eamonn a real gent, a truly respected and loyal servant, all out thoughts are with your family and friends.

It must be a difficult working relationship if from the start there is a coldness between the manager and the chairman ? would be interesting to know which side of the fence that Howe is favouring ?

Very true Ian, there are a lot of strong characters in that list that wouldn't take kindly to having players signed over their heads, for me that is why I see an overseas manager pretty likely as that is the way a lot of european clubs operate, the club get the players and you coach them.

But are we not looking to employ a coach and not a manager ? hence here is the job and the players we have given you, now go and win some matches, is that the right or wrong way to do it ?? who knows only time will tell.............

Hardly an unexpected decision, when appointed it was much written that he wasn't the Thais choice, more that they took SJM and Howe's advice, so any slight issue over results and points gathering would give them the opportunity to make the change, and in reality the results and performances were pre...

Well it is Hurtado that has hit the net tonight for Guimaraes.

Not likely to hear much about his loan spell, he has hardly played, only 6 matches since he has been there, no goals and 2 yellows, hardly encouraging............

Sorry to see Simon Cox leave, at least he gave 100%+ something which a lot of others failed to do.........................

A bit off key for this thread but, Tariq Fosu and his Accrington sides promotion match is live on wiz1.net, ch66, for those interested in watching.

What was the point of recalling Stacey ????

[quote="Ian Royal"][quote="blueroyals"]I thought Watson was ahead in the pecking order at right back? Isn't Dickie a CB?[/quote] Yeah Dickie's a CB, Watson a RB. But Dickie and Hyam are better prospects than Watson IMO and it's not uncommon to give CBs their first few starts at f...

[quote="Ian Royal"]Well, only 1 goal in it at HT. We're almost still in it. Double sub at HT and say go out there and oxf*rd earn your chance to a couple of Kuhl, Watson, Stacey and Dickie?[/quote] According to CW Hal Robson-Kanu is coming on, good to see the youngsters getting a chance......

Why effort in this game ? it's been sadly missing for a long time now, on the bright side a bloody good hammering might see the end of McDermott !!

7th minute

[quote="Maneki Neko"]brian knew those players would be here next season.
brian needed time to have a good look at all the other players to decide if we wanted to keep em/sell em, return the loans/buy th eloans[/quote]

Time to have a look ? just one game ??? is that enough time lol

"He needed loan spells to get up to speed after his injury against Derby, it makes sense that if we couldn't guarantee him game time, sending him out on loan was the best option." ??? Stacey was injured at Derby a year ago and since has done a short term loan to Barnet in November, so can'...

What is the point of re-calling Stacey with just one game left ?? Not going to see much of what he can do in a single game, what a waste of time, should have been playing along with Keown, Fosu & Barrett a month ago, sure as hell couldn't look worse than what has been seen recently.
