Re: Rival Watch

Not that it’s the right place to put this but I find watching Premiership football so dull these days. I am watching Man City play West Ham, but I much preferred watching Crewe play Crawley earlier. I am probably alone here but City’s success has just made it all so oxf*rd boring.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Howe originally said he hoped the deal would be completed by the end of May. There’s no doubt that things are progressing, but the football insider suggested that it would be another 2 months until the EFL approve the deal. If that’s the case we won’t be in a position to sign players etc. until the ...

Re: Rival Watch

Its good there's another decent side in the league which will hopefully stop Hollywood FC going up. And stop Reading FC too. Really doesn't help us having Bolton in L1 next year. Until the new ownership is confirmed, I don’t think we have to worry about Bolton still being in L1. I’d be happy with a...

Re: Rival Watch

Bolton remind me of us under Stam. Oxford are deservedly ahead tbf and I see no way back for Bolton, but hope I am wrong.

Re: Embargos, HMRC Payment defaults, non payment of wages, the usual under Dai Wrongge

I can’t say I am happy about the club getting more bad publicity and a £200k fine. However, if we get another £5m if/when Palace sell Olise, happy days.

Re: New Owners Prediction League

I have given up speculating now. I appreciate it’s just all normal marketing, but I still worry when every message from admin is about fans paying money for something. I still have a horrible feeling that this will just drag on and on until that Huang bloke says the takeover has collapsed. Oddly, he...

Re: The Retained List

It's just nice that, for the first time in years, we're retaining a decent core of the squad and talking about targeted signings before the season is over rather than being left with a 7 a side team and scrabbling around in the bargain bucket in July after every one else has had their fill. +1 In r...

Re: The Retained List

Yes, surprised about Mola and I was raving about Carson at the beginning of the season, but he wasn’t so good defensively.

I see this as a positive, as the takeover must be close.

If we can get him on loan from Luton I’d like to see us sign Joe Taylor on loan next season.

Re: 2023-24 L1 Table Prediction Competition.

Cheers for doing this IR. I am amazed I finished = bronze medal position. Next season will be tricky to predict, but if the ownership goes through I think we’ll finish top 8. I believe the 2025/26 season will be our year, 20 years on from the 106 points.

Someone on Twitter has mentioned that this has happened 3 times in the last 23 years and that on 2 occasions it was due to a change of ownership.

I cheered him like I do all our players. He didn’t have his best game, but he’s still young and learning.

The next month is going to be super boring isn’t it. Nothing to play for other than pride and momentum to take into next season in the remaining two games. Contract negotiations and releases likely mostly on hold for the takeover. Blackout on takeover info until its done or falls through. Speculati...

I see a new catering partnership has been announced so hopefully that’s a fairly good sign.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

I stupidly remember thinking when we won the title in 2011/12, with a rich Russian owner that we’d never have any financial issues again. I honestly thought we were in the Premier League to stay. Little did I know that was the start of our demise with the Vibrac loan etc.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

The only really enjoyable seasons in the Championship for me were McGhee's time and Coppell,s-McGhee's because of the style and Coppell's for the style and the realisation that we had a team that would hold it's own at the top level. Would add the first season under Pardew to this after we got prom...

Re: New owners' top 5 priorities

1. I want any new potential owners to give Ruben their 100% backing next season. 2. I want them to ensure all of our good youngsters are put on long term contracts. 3. I’d like more communication from them, but it’s not crucial. 4. Sensible player recruitment. 5. Provide more support for the women’s...
