Oxford United chairman Grant Ferguson says this week's changes, with Rowett replacing Des Buckingham, have been done for the good of the club as a whole.

"It is no way disrespectful of what Des has achieved," he said.

"But we live in the here and now. We're very sure we have the right guy for the here and now in Gary, he was top of the list from the very beginning."

On the announcement (of Buckingham's sacking): "We need to learn as well, was it a bit blunt? In hindsight I think it was."
