Oxford United boss Jim Smith has vowed to carry on in a bid to lead the U's back into the Football League. Smith, 66, admitted after Oxford's play-off semi-final defeat that there would be changes at the Kassam Stadium.
But Smith told his club's website: "Nick (Merry) wanted me to stay and be the manager and I probably want to be manager now more than ever.
"I am even more determined to get Oxford back into the Football League. We are better equipped for next year."
