I know there are lots of ex managers out there looking for a chance to manage again.
Other than Chris Wilder who many think is out of his depth, is there anyone else who could do better?
I think we should keep Chris Wilder for the time being, at least until the end of the season.
But as a replacement, I am not so sure there is anyone who could do any better.
Craddock seems to have been a poor signing. Constable is below par, and Midson has all but gone.
what can be done to arrest this slump?

For me there is one obvious replacement who ticks all the boxes
DAVE PENNEY
Currently available....tick
Proven track record, got Donny promoted from the conf and won league 2....tick
Played for Oxford, would be well respected by the fans....tick
Heard he might be in line for the Mansfield job so we need to act fast

I could or should I say I couldn't do much worse myself.

Right now any manager with a clear idea of what he wants from the side would be an improvement!

If we were to replace Wilder, I personally would go for Penney.
Penney had it just right at Doncaster in that he inherited a decent side, the club had wealthy backers who put money in to the club. We dont have that here.
Im not saying hes a bad manager by any stretch but I would rather see someone come in who has been succesful at a higher level, but with a club that didnt have any money. Truth be told, thats the sign of a good manager. If you can get something from a team with no money then your on to a winner.

I'm sticking with Wilder for the time being but if I was forced to name a replacement then there is, for me, one stand out candidate who would probably be gettable - Paul Tisdale.
Out of the conference, out of League 2 and consolidating in League 1 with a club who are punching well above their weight. He would not be on massive money at Exeter and would probably see the timing as about right to make a step up in terms of club size.
He has built a great side at Exeter on a shoestring budget and mixes players with good physical prescence and clever on the ball. He's also one of the most impressive with the media, articulate and honest in his interviews.
One thing I like about the likes of him, Wilder and Buckle is their loyalty. These are bosses who get their teeth into the job and seem to have long term vision. The likes of others mentioned, Penney and Money for example, is that they never seem to settle anywhere for too long. You get the impression with a lot of these that Oxford would be a short term stepping stone, I don't get that impression with the likes of Tisdale.

You can't be serious there is no ways Tisdale would leave Exeter for oxford not now, I mean yes we are a bigger club but they are a mid table league 1 side. They also have some outstanding players, I could only see him leaving for another league one side or even the championship. |

Why would he go from a decent league 1 side to a struggling league 2 side? You also said he's loyal, therefore he'll stay at Exeter? So we'd have to pay huge compensation to get him. If we're going to make unrealistic suggestions then why not Harry Redknapp? |

Gary Waddock could be a good shout too. Has got Aldershot promoted and is in line to do the same for Wycombe. Did take them down but seems to have turned the corner.
John Coleman at Accrington has done more than a sound job. I liked the look of Ryan when he played at Oxford as he bossed the midfield...could bring him down here too

Wilder because he knows the club and players best. Not that this will hold weight for long at the rate he is going through players.
Keown will get a (hopefully very brief) mention.
Penney would be head and shoulders top of my list. He was my ‘Plan B’ not so long ago when it was thought Sheffield United might be interested in Wilder – how times change.
