So Jim Smith has taken temporary charge of the club and the next official Oxford United manager is yet to be announced. Who would you like to see become the next Oxford Manager?
Personally, I’d like to see Andy Hessenthaler come into the club as manager. He’s at Dover Athletic right now and is doing an absolutely brilliant job there as player-manager. Hessenthaler previously managed Gillingham between 2000 and 2004, keeping the team in the second tier of English football with incredibly limited resources. I feel that he could do an excellent job at Oxford and could be just the man the club is after.
Oxford United is in its third successive season in the Blue Square Premier League right now, something needs to be done to restore the clubs league status, and with the club currently sitting 16th in the league; there’s a lot of work to be done if Oxford United is indeed to make a return to the football league.
I doubt Hessenthaler will leave his job at Dover to come manage struggling Oxford; I’d love to see it happen, but I just don’t feel that Oxford will be able to tempt him away. John Ward’s 3-1 favourite according to Victor Chandler, we shall see though; he’s also applied for the Swindon Town position this month, and if his application is not successful, does Oxford United Football Club really want the stigma of taking on a Swindon reject?
