He replaces previous boss Ramon Diaz, who left the club earlier this week, along with the rest of his coaching staff.Talbot, who has also previously managed West Bromwich Albion, Aldershot and Rushden & Diamonds, left Oldham by mutual consent in February.

Talbot becomes the third full-time manager appointed by the U's this season, following Graham Rix and Diaz. Coach David Oldfield had been in temporary charge since the Argentinian and his staff left the Kassam Stadium.

gees, what an uninspring choice of manager for them.

Talbots only memorable acheivement was getting Rushden up from the Conference to League One. Which, given the money they had to spend at that time was pretty much one of the easiest posts in football. Strange how he buggered off when the money ran out.
