:laughing6: :laughing6: :laughing6:

5 months out of a job isn't much. And he's been openly linked with Championship jobs (including the Jacks), follow this link..

https://www.google.com/search?q=des+buc ... e&ie=UTF-8

That link also has alot of praise from pundits and ex players.

We've also got the worlds biggest Oxford mole on here who says he's mustard, and he's been anti-Cardiff all year :laughing6:

In fact, I can only recall one negative review of him... yours!

Was an actual question which you still haven’t answered.

We are a league one club.

He’s previously been promoted from this division.

monty i agree with every word spot on mate

Re: " DES BUCKINGHAM "

Fri May 30, 2025 9:33 am

I hope this is true and I would definitely support Buckingham. He looks like a coach on the up and he definitely punched above his weight with Oxford.

With the options being talked about he would have been my first choice.

Thanks monty just wondered as there was several candidates out there... not sure budget appointment is fair not sure the others were any different in that respect.... your right about budget which is something I've eluded to previously he needs to be decently backed to give him chance to succeed ...and we do need to succeed otherwise be left behind by more progressive clubs ...note Norwich say giving manning 45m to spend....so if we don't get promotion can't see Tan being able to stay his wealth is not that big now!

He will manage in the premier league.

Hopefully with Cardiff.

Just seen this https://youtu.be/Vl8V_yEAmOM?si=4X-7j3Puhcu8iOOZ

Shows that he really thinks about what he is doing.

Well worth watching.

Mac mate, is he good at reacting to threats from other teams? Riza imo was very slow to react to other teams changes / threats.
Also, did he generally keep the same team?

Got to remember sometimes managers do well or badly depending on circumstances at club ? Other managers had poor record but when look at why see poor support from owner! Hopefully tan will support him sufficiently to get us promoted...

Never posted on here before but feel obliged to regarding Des. I can't say whether he would succeed here or not, nobody can - but I've seen first hand what he can do with youth. He's absolutely incredible with young talent, and the prospect of him working with Lawlor, Kpakio, both Colwills, even Reindorf is really exciting.

He was instrumental in developing the current crop of players for our (New Zealand's) national team. When he joined NZF was a mess, now we've probably got the strongest pool of players we've had in my lifetime. The guy is good.

Epic first post :clap:

Good to hear. He was also loosely linked to the Wales job when Bellamy got it. I wasn't aware of this at the time, but it's in a googles history...

Nice insight :thumbup:

Based on this and what others that know more of him than me, sounds like it could be a good fit!

Yep. Preston home we were getting battered. One nil down. 20 odd minutes in he got the guys over and made changes. Starting using a bit more of a direct cross ball to the left back class in the air. Changed the momentum and Oxford won 3-1.

Have to agree with you. You would think we seem to be on the verge of appointing Pep by the reaction on this forum. He may turn out to be a good appointment but has just one years management experience in League football- in which he did a good job in getting Oxford up- but hardly a proven track record. No playing experience which is not necessarily a disadvantage but importantly it would appear very little connection in the game over here. I wish him well and hopefully he is what everyone seems to think he is but not getting excited at this stage.

Re: " DES BUCKINGHAM "

Fri May 30, 2025 11:22 am

Just watch him join Plymouth on Monday.

He's favourite to be their next manager.

I think he's the best of the names properly linked.

The danger with those talking about unrealistic options like Cooper, Nathan Jones etc is that they'll be underwhelmed whoever comes in.

I'm pleased with Buckingham, assuming this is true (which I strongly believe it is).

I believe this is the right direction to go in.
