Managing in South Asia/New Zealand hardly counts.

If people want an experienced manager then it has to be Evatt for me.

Riza has managed at Cheshunt, Leyton Orient and then Cardiff. Win percentage of 24% in 96 games.

I’ve seen Riza operate and I’ve seen Des operate.

There’s no comparison.

I’d be quite happy with either one. Let’s see how it goes and get behind them regardless.

“ Evatt prefers an attacking, possession-based style that aims to dominate the game through ball control and quick transitions”

Id be happy with that, been a while since Cardiff can keep the ball and attack.

Also seen he likes his team to press high and win the ball high up the field, which I love to see.


After digging into the managers more, starting to lean back towards Des.

Oxford fans and people were rather surprised by his dismissal, seems pretty decent with tactics and was always a good achievement to get Oxford promoted.
