At least temporarily 
Boy have they regressed over the years - even further than us!
BBC - Manager Patterson axed by Oxford
Blue Square Premier club Oxford United have sacked manager Darren Patterson.
Former U's manager Jim Smith, now a club director, has been installed as caretaker boss and will take charge for Thursday's match against Mansfield.
Oxford chairman Kelvin Thomas said: "Darren is a very honest, hardworking young manager who has given everything he had to the role.
"However, we feel that a change of manager and a change of direction is needed at this time."
Patterson, 39, joined the coaching staff at the Kassam Stadium in 2002 and became manager just over a year ago.
Results this season have been disappointing and Oxford are currently 16th in the table.
Patterson's last game at the helm was a 2-0 defeat against 10-man Torquay in the FA Cup first round on Saturday.
