Cardiff City eyeing move for "highly regarded" Buckingham​


Whilst Cardiff have endured a nightmare start to the campaign, newly promoted Oxford United have enjoyed an excellent opening period, winning three and losing three to leave them sitting ninth and making an early claim for shock play-off contention. That success could now come at a cost, however.

According to Football Insider, Cardiff could move to appoint Des Buckingham from Oxford following their solid start to the campaign, with the 39-year-old seen as a young and progressive manager.

It remains to be seen whether the Bluebirds can convince the Oxford boss to make the switch though. As things stand, pitching a manager to jump a steady ship in favour of attempting to patch one up that looks almost certain to sink in the early stages of the campaign doesn't exactly make for a strong sales pitch in what could be a frustrating blow.

Oxford, meanwhile, will be desperate to keep hold of the manager who brought them up from League One last season, with Head of Recruitment Ed Waldron praising Buckingham from the off. After appointing the young manager last November, Waldron told Oxford's official website: “Des is someone we’ve been monitoring for a while. He’s young, highly regarded and already has a wealth of coaching experience.

“His attacking style of play and philosophy suits the squad we are building and will help this outstanding group of players continue their excellent start to the season.”

Seemingly the type of football that Cardiff now want to see take place in Wales, Buckingham may well be one to keep an eye on.





Perhaps we could then get that prolific striker we've been looking for, Harris or whatever his name is
 
Nathan Jones is sneaking up the list 14/1

I have a funny feeling its going to be Alex Neil.

That Des Buckingham is very unlike us.

We could do much worse, but we do need experience and he would be fine but not exciting.

I didn’t know anything about him until he got Oxford promoted. When I first saw him interviewed the biggest surprise was that he wasn’t black.
:hehe:

But he was a dark horse for the Wales job, so pretty highly regarded.
