Agree entirely Padz. Justin has been involved through a very positive period of OCFC's history.

: It's all still a bit of a shock and quite
: gutting, Justin has worked wonders for the
: club in not only his time as first team
: manager but also his contribution as
: assistant to Andy Lyne and as a player, and
: achieved promotion in his first full season
: in charge, there've been times when
: supporters haven't agreed with the
: management but time and time again they've
: shown why they are in that position by
: getting the results.
:
: As one door closes another opens and we must
: now get fully behind Fordy,Dougie and all
: the players to get our season up and
: running, dont forget we lost our opening two
: games last season, and look where we
: finished.

: Thank you Justin, you've written yourself
: into a successful chapter in the Oxford City
: history books and will not be forgotten for
: the achievements made at the club under your
: guidance.

: Justin, I think you can rest assured that
: everyone has wholeheartedly appreciated all

: and how far we have progressed up the
: pyramid during your reign...
: I hope everyone can understand your reason
: for leaving and wish you the best for the
: Oxford Football Partnership and any other
: projects you pursue (as long as they're part
: of City!!!!...
: We hope to still see you around...

: After 4 years at Oxford City i have decided
: to
: step down as manager due to a number of
: factors which made me feel i couldnt
: continue with the role. Increasing work
: commitments are a key factor allied to the
: fact i felt i wasnt getting the best from
: the players i therefore realised it was time
: to go.
: I will remain involved with the club helping
: to drive the Oxford Football Partnership and
: assist in the development of young players
: through into the first team and beyond.
: it has been a wonderful 4 years starting in
: the Spartan South Midlands league and
: onwards to the Southern Premier Division
: allied to the continued growth and
: development of the whole club.
: i would like to thank the players, physios,
: coaching staff for the work on the pitch.
: The support of the commitee, John Shep,
: Brian and Colin has been unbelievable and
: everyone else at the club. All supporters
: have been tremendous throughout and i am
: very proud of what has been achieved to
: date.
: I am in full support of Mike Ford as he
: takes the reigns and will give knowledge and
: commitment to the job. We forged a good
: partnership and i wish Mike and everyone
