Are you joking? He DESERVES to be on the LEGENDS wall. The poor bloke had injuries to deal with and EVERYTHING. It was a miracle he guided us to 6th, with only the bear bones of the squad who managed fourth last season.

Not saying there is nothing in it. However, Talksport and The Daily Mail?? If those two told me it was dark outside at midnight I'd look out the window to check.
I still can't make my mind up re Oscar. Some of our football has been dourly drab at times, but considering the players Oscar has had to work with compared to the resources Poyet had, just getting to the play offs has been a great achievement. Nobody expected us to do much in the play offs and so it came to be. After the roller coaster of the previous two seasons, everyone expected this season to be the same. We made the play offs but with Mike Bailey style caution first football rather than flair.
So do we take a chance on Oscar and allow him to work with "his" players next season or do we go for a clean sweep - Possibly Mackay who wouldn't be a bad choice of whats available. If Oscar doesn't sleep on it, the first option may not be there anyway, especially given his interview afterwards.
Oscars more subtle and diplomatic way of hitting the ceiling?

Oscars way(if true) of saying back Me in the transfer market,just doing it a lot more dignified than that ego maniac Poyet.

He used to play for Norwich too.
Oscar's probably a nice bloke and all that but it's pretty clear he'd lost the players long ago.
The players never looked to the bench for guidance or instructions and Oscar's touchline persona is one of being disinterested whilst Jones's gesticulations were largely ignored.
In much the same way as Holloway lost the Palace dressing room Oscar has found himself in a similar predicament. I cannot believe the players have enjoyed playing in such a negative way this season and if it is indeed true that Oscar has offered his resignation then I believe his position is untenable.

After the Haywards Heath 99p shop thread last year or whenever it was, we KNOW they read NSC.

So , Oscar doing exactly what Poyet did. Reactions on here should be interesting.

Totally agree. I had a feeling that this could be on the cards after the Yeovil game when he went round applauding the fans. I don't know why but he seemed as though he wouldn't be here next year.
We seem to have difficulty in losing play-offs with any dignity intact.

If Bloom is on the 8:03 train he cannot have been around long after the game. With Oscar's post match duties (team & press) would they have had time to have such a conversation?

I agree with your sentiment regarding the jury being out on Oscar. 6th is a respectable effort, and this year has been a bad one for injuries. All of that said Oscar has had Upson & Ulloa (injuries excluded) for the whole season. Poyet had to wait until mid (Upson) and late (Ulloa) January last year for those two. That is a huge advantage for any manager at this level.
