I read it as he isn’t having a right hand man/number 2 but a coaching teamDid others read Buckingham’s latest interview the same as me - Short will be his assistant, with any other additions coming in to support that?
Des Buckingham gives update on additions to coaching staff
DES Buckingham hopes he will have added to his backroom staff within the next week.www.oxfordmail.co.uk
We'll both forever have Paul Hinshelwood.To justify it I keep looking for spurious linkages between Palace and Oxford.
It wont turn nasty and nor should it, that would be a crazy over reaction. It would be a more subdued frustration and maybe the beginning of a waning trust that Des is the right man. Look at the stick on social media that Rooney was getting after four consecutive defeats and taking a team flying high hurtling down the table. Rooney wasn't born in Birmingham but should Des being born in Oxford carry blind faith ? About 1 in 50 posts on their forums and other social media platforms were backing Rooney - that's a lot of w****** who weren't.

Goodness. EmbarrassingI really hope I'm wrong but I think we will get beat tonight. Win at Cheltenham and I think we could have handled a defeat tonight. Des would have been up and running and the pressure off. Lose tonight and any honeymoon is absolutely done, he will just become another Oxford United manager rather than the homecoming hero. Lose with another lacklustre, demotivated and inept performance like Saturday, followed by a grinning post match interview and questions, I think, will be raised after just two games. Not about his job obviously but perhaps whether the leap from Mumbai to L1 is going to take more time than expected and, in the process, derail our promotion bid.
Harsh ? Maybe, but it's the reality of football. I'm reasonably hopeful in the long run that he might be the man, I just haven't been convinced by a worrying first game and any interviews he's given - most certainly the post match one on Saturday. Win, lose or draw tonight hopefully we may see a bit of reaction and emotion from him - be it joy, anger, opinion etc. Right now, he's just a bit bland, nothing really interesting or ground breaking to say and making Manning look positively charismatic.
Can we let them keep all of Andy Linighan?We'll both forever have Paul Hinshelwood.
I read it as Short will definitely stay as part of the coaching team but not necessarily as assistant.Did others read Buckingham’s latest interview the same as me - Short will be his assistant, with any other additions coming in to support that?

Yeah, apparently he also likes the good old days, but feels when the backpass law was brought in, it literally was a gamechanger.Meanwhile.........
Anything about Des Buckingham!?
On RO on Saturday , he said it was very close but wouldn't be tied down to a specific date.Any news on the new backroom staff? Said last week that we were looking outside the club and hoped to be in place this week, if I heard correctly.
On the new Dub, it was revealed this afternoon that we’ve missed out on our number one target.On RO on Saturday , he said it was very close but wouldn't be tied down to a specific date.

Closer to appointing our new Analyst.
A decent listen as it’s a half hour chat with Buckingham.
Oh you!Getting practice in for January!

As it was designed to be.Doesn't sound like the chap, Lyons, is still here then. That was short and sweet.
