Championship Season 25-26

Wouldn't be surprised if Steve McClaren got it. Ex Oxford player and coach, just come available after leaving Jamaica.

Oxford's form has been pretty terrible as of late, that random win against Ipswich aside, and there have not been any signs the situation is going to improve. If the club have ambitions to stay in the division, and believe they have a squad that can achieve this, I can understand them rolling the dice - if they've identified someone sensible and pragmatic to give the team a bit of a boost. 

Whilst I do think Rowett is a decent manager at this level, it's possible he'd just run out of steam at Oxford. Sometimes a change is best for both parties.

I'm not too surprised, they were complete rubbish at Ewood (both teams were). If they play like that most weeks they will join Sheffield Wednesday in L1 next season.

James Bord is supposedly the preferred bidder for Sheffield Wednesday. 

Also owns Dunfermline and ex professional poker player. Owns consultancy firm Short Circuit Science, which specialises in data analytics and AI.

I dream of a day when the people who run this club are only that useless.

Bloody hell lads, just take the hit. How much can they realistically be talking about here? Would it even be £10k?

Piece on Derby under Eustace. A club making progress.

Remember....without Venkys we'd 'Do a Derby'.

Sounds good to me.

Wonder what Derby fans make of him, he was on the ropes before they winning run and he did well to keep them up last season but given what they spent they may be slightly under performing.

Having said that they are only 6 points off 6th with some pretty average teams above.

It’s a weird league as ever where it feels there’s a couple of standout teams then a whole host of teams that can put a run together but can be beaten by anyone else

Preston lost £17.8 million in the last year. 

Strange, I thought that Rovers were an outlier and Venkys the only owners in the world willing/able to fund such losses.
