No chance. Unfortunately for DC, I think his stock has fallen quite a way since his 2 promotions. He'll probably end up at a L2 club, L1 if he is lucky. Agreed, sadly for him as his loyalty to us was perhaps inevitably going to see his stock fall eventually as getting us a 3rd promotion was never realistic. Yeovile may one position vacant soon judging by results and fans comments recently.....think he would be mad to consider it though.

He can get a better job than that I think, will be loads available soon. But stewy might go for it.

If he is unhappy with the money here then there he will get even less to spend going on some of the comments from the manager etc. I did wonder if Oxford might sack Karl Robinson after their poor christmas period. If they do, would they be interested in him? I think he'd be a good fit for both parties but they seem a club who appear to prefer higher profile names. DC's definitely got to think long and hard about his next move. If I was him, I'd go for an underperforming club with the potential/finances to do better (similar to when he took over us).

Fwiw, I feel like he should wait until the summer to see what's going on. Istm the worst thing he could do is to immeidately put himself back into a similar position at Oxford or Plymouth, say, to what he was in here.

Yes, can’t disagree with any of that. Lee M mentioned and Chris H, also an important part of the team. I wonder if GC and CH were to be confirmed until season’s end if Lee M would step into CHs position in the development squad. Perhaps this is one of the advantages and part of DCs legacy of having a good team around him. When things were going well istr CH being mentioned as a good shout if DC were to be poached by anyone. UTG! All this talk of Lee Mansell is quite disrespectful to Tom Parinello who is actually in charge of the U18’s with LM under him Mansell is fortunate still to be employed (albeit as trainee coach to the junior team) by the football club when most from those embarrassing non-league days, including the senior management, have been moved on. The idea of him job-queue-jumping to a senior role over more worthy candidates could be inflammatory. As a staunch and outspoken Brexiteer he might understand that. Whether our Irish team manager and an Englishman with hard-line anti-EU views would be good chemistry is questionable. However Mansell has cultivated via social media a fan-club of presumably younger supporters who will be pushing his case regardless.

I don't really understand the logic of that. His only contribution to our non-league days (apart from scoring for Torquay against us) was to help us get out of non-league. The getting there was the embarrassing bit, not the getting out.

I think you need to air this political clap-trap on farcebook; this to my knowledge is a football forum not a diatribe on leavers and remainers. I am in the camp of give the job to the current holder at least until the summer and take it from there.

Yeovile may one position vacant soon judging by results and fans comments recently.....think he would be mad to consider it though. If he thought our owners lacked ambition, then Yeovil is even worse. The board room is a gentlemans club and it has an absolute ceiling of location, support and infrastructure as was evidenced by their time in the Championship a few years back. If ever there was a time to capitalise, it was then, but the realisation was that, even at that level, the ROI just wasn't worth it, hence why they plummeted back to L2. Burton is a similar sort of club, but they have access to the FA base, have a good little stadium and owners willing to underwrite the club.

Let's ignore the weird political stuff or I'll move the thread to GC, thanks.
If you really want to start a new thread on it in GC, then feel free.

If he is unhappy with the money here then there he will get even less to spend going on some of the comments from the manager etc. I did wonder if Oxford might sack Karl Robinson after their poor christmas period. If they do, would they be interested in him? I think he'd be a good fit for both parties but they seem a club who appear to prefer higher profile names. DC's definitely got to think long and hard about his next move. If I was him, I'd go for an underperforming club with the potential/finances to do better (similar to when he took over us). Oxford look a right basket case club at present, a foreign owner who hardly attends games, a previous owner who seems to be getting the lion share of any sale on clauses he arranged and a ground owned by another party.

It’s not all bad, because they only own 3 sides of it.

Maybe Ellis can put in a good word for Lockyer at Ipswich and we can do a straight swop for Nsiala who actually has a bit of much needed pace Yet he cant get a start at ipswich.
Well if he was we would have no chance of signing him.

Ellis on loan would be a good move.
