    Robins will walk into that job 
  • Bit weird he's staying for 2 games first.
  • Robins will walk into that job 
    He can do better.
  • Wow. I wonder what prompted that.
    Calling their own fans thickos won't have helped, but also rumours that he didn't like Gallen being in charge of recruitment.
    At least he is straight to the point and blunt. Probably should of said to the fans to 'pick the team'

    Damn !!!  Another one we missed out on.

    tbf this is Non-League and the out/ins, in League One, and Millwall, kind of overshadowed it. Surprised to see it on the BBC list (thought they only did league clubs)!

    Gary O’Neil sacked according to The Telegraph. Pretty obvious after yesterday that he’d lost the dressing room

    Not surprised, will be interesting to see if they go Moyes/Potter to keep them up or another Portuguese appointment that's a friend of Jorge Mendes

    Or Mark Robins? Midlands-based and Wolves seem to be doing this season on the cheap.

    Two games running too where there's been a massive ruckus on the pitch at the end.
  • solskjaer is the current favourite for the wolves job

    Wouldn't actually be a bad shout. Feels like Fosun have got a bit bored 
  • With owners who aren't spending money, and a terrible defence, they've got to make themselves tighter at the back. 

    5 years ago Big Sam would have been top of the list of candidates...

    Were they fighting amongst themselves yesterday? Couldn’t figure it out from the MotD highlights.

    think Cunha will get a ban for punching the Ipswich security man on the head and then pulling his glasses off.
  • Hope that Wolves go and get Moyes... Means he cant then rock up at Palace when Brighton stuff them today

    Would have had him instead of Apples if City Football Group hadn't rejected the approach. Trying to keep Oxford in the championship on a shoestring was always going to be tough but I thought him being an ex player and very well liked by the fans would have brought him more time.

    There's an opening in New York I could see them sliding him straight into. If not I'd expect he's straight on any list Charlie has....

    Paying the price for overachieving last season. They are a minnow in the Championship.

    I did a phone in when of the 100 or so calls, text messages and social media comments we received after Oxford were beaten at home by Sheffield Wednesday, a grand total of one called for a change of manager.

    I don’t know what AI tool people are using for those Jones images, but after the above news someone needs to ask it to generate one of Charlie Methven with a raised eyebrow, wearing a suit and salmon pink trousers standing in The Valley, considering approaching his fellow Oxford fan Des Buckingham about our managers job.

    Rayan Ait-Nouri was sent off in the tunnel for a second yellow card after clashing with Wes Burns while Matheus Cunha fought with Ipswich's security, barging into one before ripping his glasses off his face, and striker Liam Delap. (Copied from the bbc report).

    O'Neil had to go after that (both the result and the aftermath) despite no calls for him to get the sack.
