Crikey. I remember him teaching the mental kids at the Cherwell School in my day.
I guess being MD of a professional football club is an easier gig than Head of Oxford Academy!

Interesting.
Not that it guarantees success in football of course, but Niall is very, very highly thought of for the work he did in transforming Oxford Academy when it was put into special measures. A respected operator who I think will be a good appointment for the club.
Nice one Darryl!

I can't imagine a respected figure liket his would take on this, presumably, full-time role unless he has some assurances of longevity.

So what's his actual role then and what will he bring to the club?
Can anyone decipher this nonsense?, "means that we have strength in depth across club operations and we will continue to drive continuous improvement and greater efficiency across the club"

I wonder if he’ll regale the squad with tales of Davey Bonner and his dog Sparky here too.

Niall will continue his role as Executive Headteacher at The Oxford Academy and John Henry Newman Academy on a part-time basis.
So does this mean he is a part time MD for OUFC?

He’ll be very knowledgable on the local councils and their representations too of course, which I’m sure will be helpful.

You will by find a nicer more supportive guy if u tried. If he achieves even half what he has in schools he’s run with Oufc then we’re in very good hands

Just glad it's not my old PE teacher, because he wouldn't of been allowed within a hundred yards of the youth teams by court order.

He’s from Scotland. Is that important to you? Checked him online and he declared himself a U's fan. If he was 'born a celtic fan' then I am just looking out for our youth team....

He's a decent guy and (I believe) a scout in his spare time. Loves football. Sensible appointment.
