Worth a bet,couple of defeats,he loses the plot and pushes the chairman over(you know he has previous).

That's nice. I see your main man is 16/1 in the list. Probably because bookies, like the rest of us, are thinking 'Who the fuck is Chris Wilder'.

He doesn't get sacked, he just waits until the club nearly goes out of business and then resigns.

It's exactly that kind of thinking that has lead your club to appoint a celebrity football player as a football manager.

Being the former doesn't mean you are remotely good at the latter.

And if you don't know Chris Wilder, what do you know about League 2?

That we don't belong there.

What does Wilder know about League Two? He's a conference manager iirc.

[Benzel]

Shame there'ss no roof on the bank, all the gas he's brought with him will just escape.

We've appointed Di Canio because we believe he will do well and be a success for this club. We've appointed him because he impressed more so than everyone else in his interview, because of his ethos and philosophies.

Fuck all to do with him being a 'celebrity' anyone who genuinely believes that - is a fucking retard.

[Bogus Dave]

It's one of the few things resembling a tradition we've got left really isn't it, appointing high profile recently retired ex pro's as managers. And they all tend to do well (Ardiles, Macari, Hoddle, McMahon, Wise).

Gives us something to be proud of.

And if you don't know Chris Wilder,

He's managed at Alfreton Town, Halifax Town, Bury (Assistant Manager) and Oxford United. Why the hell would I scour the pub leagues to see what kind of manager he is.

I can barely remember last week, let alone as far back as whenever he last played.

[Bogus Dave]

Wilders done a decent job down there. Got a strong looking squad put together this season - expect oxford to be there or thereabouts come may

[Costanza]

If I'm honest, I expected Oxford to do better last season.

TEF is the one place where people can irrationally/rationally slag off all things Oxford United. If the floating yellows who read this forum don't agree or are for some reason offended then, well, go away.

Apologies, I'm not from North Wiltshire/Swindon and have rarely encountered Oxford fans outside of matchdays so I find all this dick swinging ("banter") quite tiresome.

[Ardiles]

It's exactly that kind of thinking that has lead your club to appoint a celebrity football player as a football manager.

The 'celebrity' accusation is lazy.  By 'celebrity', what you really mean is that you've heard of him before.  And the reason you've heard of him is, primarily, because he's achieved something in football.  Rather like Ardiles had by the time he came to us, and Hoddle, and one or two other 'celebrities' you may also care to bring up.

What all these 'celebrities' had in common is an insight in to the game that few of their peers at that level could boast, having played at a higher level than most of those peers.  They also had charisma.  That helped to.  Another thing they all had in common is they all delivered for Swindon Town FC.  And I think you, and many others who have attempted to portray the appointment as reckless and ill advised are more than a little concerned that Di Canio may do the same.

We'll see.

[sheepshagger]

No - the truth is they are just sad mongs with nothing better to do than be extremely jealous that we have PDC and they have ..... sorry who is he again ?

We'll see come May but as always the wankers from Poxford will be shouting their mouths off giving it the big one as always.........

Get some history you dicks............

[Thememoriesgone]

Get some history you dicks............


Hmm,history,
how about 3 years in the top division of English football,
5 victories over Man utd
3 league victories over Arsenal
more wins over Chelsea than i care to remember but 4-1 2-0  and 2-1 at Stamford Bridge spring to mind.
And Swindons history is ?
Oh yeh they were the team who got relegated 2 divisions because there manager was betting on the other team.

[chalkies_shorts]

but more latterly defeats against pub teams like Tonbridge Angels etc. You will always be in our shadow.
