Funnily enough, some of the managers Oxford fans are suggesting would be taken from clubs further down, destabilizing that club's season. Surely that would make their new manager a snake too?
Who seem to think a one off few months near the top of the third tier after 15 or so years of nothing means a championship club of comfortable status isn't a better option.
To be fair @Malone, I can see why they are peed off. Out of work manager given the chance to work for a huge club and backed to the hilt, talks of integrity and long term plan and then pisses off to the Championship at the first opportunity.
Someone should start a rumour that a long-haired guy wearing a leather jacket and snakeskin boots was seen filling up an orange Mustang at the Sainsbury's filling station on the Oxford ring road.
I think GA would be a good fit for a lower L1 club who need a kick up the backside and are not going to be snobby about style. Reading, Port Vale, etc.
As an aside, most Oxford fans were calling for Karl Robinson's head as soon as they had a bad season with him...you know, the Robinson who was there for years and took them to a playoff final and another semi. Just trying to get this "loyalty" thing straight in my head.
The only club I can think of where fans embraced keeping their manager after a relegation is us with GA after the Champo season.
To be fair to them (undeserved I know) Karl Robinson constantly talked absolute crap in interviews to the point he sounded like he needed an intervention and would have taken them down to L2 if he wasn't fired.
I actually don't hate Oxford - it is more a case of finding any travails amusing, like Plymouth, but not with genuine hatred such as Derby, MK or Bristol Rovers (though Rovers took a step back towards the light a little by canning Barton).
Speaking about managers leaving suddenly, nothing beats Colchester fans saying "there is no loyalty in football any more" when Bloomfield left to re-join the club he had already spent two decades at. Peak irony.

Agreed - and definitely a thoroughly top bloke by all accounts
Ainsworth to Oxford would probably push most of their fan base over the edge!

Hilarious salt from Oxford fans.

I mean it's funny but...

That would rattle their cages.
Iggy Pop to the Kassam? really?

The funny thing about the PNLs, you know that the wheels are going to come off but you have to guess how.
These wheels?
That's better.
True! My point is that with fans, loyalty is almost always a one way street.
Superb
Usually when I saw or heard KR doing any media, by the time my ears were attuned enough to catch what he was saying he had finished...
Oh that we mere mortals could aspire to such exceptional technical wizardry!

I don't hate Oxford fans. It's the smell of their cooking I object to.
Treated Milton Keynes as rivals only gives them the credibility they crave, much better to let them suffocate in a vacuum.
Back to the comedy, here are some of the names mentioned on the Oxford forum:
Graham Potter
Thiery Henry
Paulo Di Canio
Di Canio is ex Swindon so Oxford fans wouldn't want him in a million years.
For this reason I hope he gets the job.
Rashford red card. You tell a 26 year old man he can't have a birthday party and you'll pay a price.
Horrible challenge, lucky the Copenhagen lad didn't break his ankle.
Lmao
Will Oxford fans bake a cake?

Adding to that Ben Garner was sacked having been given less than the 28 games Matt had in charge at Colchester.
Definitely no loyalty at Colchester.
Frank Lampard might be the next Oxford manager according to the BBC.
Please please please be true.
Hahahahaha, w can hope
