is Oxford United part of the City Group?

Nope!

But they would have had to pay a pretty penny to get him back to the UK. It wasn't too long ago he was signed to an upgraded deal with Mumbai, which effectively shut the door on a possible return to New Zealand to manage the AW's.

Damn I wish we got him back here! That U20's squad he had was possibly the best crop of players NZ had ever put together - Had them absolutely humming too.

Have no doubt he'll do well over there though.

interesting, given all the chat previously and comments from Des himself about sticking within the City Group's fold to hopefully be considered one day for the EPL job. I wonder if he's decided that getting into the lower leagues is the better pathway.

The ISL is a poor standard league. As a barometer Des's Mumbai City are bottom of their AFC Champions League (ACL) group. 
Played 4, lost 4. GF 0 GA 13

No one will go from India into the EPL. 

He's been at Oxford before, so all makes alot of sense. Real chance to be coaching in the Championship next season. Now he's in a good league in the UK, wonder if any of his ex NZ U20 group will ever come onto his radar. Pijnaker could do worse than make a ph call.
