Quote: Oxford Exile "We know all about losing talented young players (Harris, Sculthorpe) so I totally understand and feel your pain IF he comes to us. However, you have to be pragmatic about it if the money was needed to save the club.
Whenever we lost great players in the past it felt like the end of the world...but it wasn't ultimately. We did what we did to survive...and then we started to thrive and develop...and look at us now...great stadium...challenging for all the honours on a regular basis. As long as you are moving forward....thats the main thing....even if moving forward is literally just surviving in the short term.
Your priority in the medium to long term has to be financial security and then a new stadium. Get a solid revenue stream built on solid, well managed foundations....then you'll get to keep your best players and challenge the top on a consistent basis.
Enjoy him now...and IF he goes think about what that actually means for the long term of the club.....hard to take in the short term..we know.'"
We sold Andy Gregory and bought a pitch cover.
