🎧 ‘This is a sacking which has shocked most people’

Date:

Many Oxford United fans were surprised when the news broke on Sunday afternoon that the club had parted ways with head coach Des Buckingham.

The Oxford-born U’s fan, who began his coaching journey at the Kassam as a teenager, was relieved of his duties after 13 months at the helm following a home defeat by Sheffield Wednesday the previous afternoon.

EFL expert and U’s fan George Elek and former Oxford United player Ben Purkiss joined BBC Radio Oxford sports editor Jerome Sale to talk through the news in an emergency edition of the station’s podcast.
