Quote: lemonhead "According to a recent BBC article, over the last two years our chairman has had to pay Oxfords debts totalling approx. £1.2 million. Whist I don't have the evidence I would bet that the transfer fees we have received during the same period have totalled a similar figure. Is it the case that we are funding the dismal existence of Oxford at the expense of marquee signings to bolster our squad which has been decimated since the 2010 GF win? Next year our senior players are SOL, Mickey Mac and Bowen if he stays - whilst we have a good crop of youngsters, I fear that the turnover of experienced players will mean that the youngsters are going to get flogged. Also, strange that we haven't had a fans forum for a number of years? In my view, our chairman has increasingly distanced himself from our club.'"


It was great to see IL tonight.
Great announcement!!

Quote: lemonhead "Instead of trying to score points may be you would like to refer to my original post in which I posed a question for open debate which I thought was the purpose of this forum - not to have sly digs.

"Is it the case that we are funding the dismal existence of Oxford at the expense of marquee signings to bolster our squad which has been decimated since the 2010 GF win?"

Now either have a view or get over it'"


How are people disagreeing with your position not expressing a view?

You're asking for a debate, but anyone who takes an opposing position is being 'hysterical', adopting an 'I'm right and you're wrong' attitude or 'trying to score points'.

This whole thing is utter nonsense.

Funding Oxford United has nothing to do with signing marquee players. The salary cap restricts us with regards to that.

Since 2010 we have paid transfer fees for quite a few players who have turned out to be good buys for the club although they may not have been classed as marquee at the time. Smith, Green, Taylor, Bateman, Sarginson, Clubb & now Tomkins.

If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.:icons39ad_files/4821-1859san_c-msnicons.jpg

Pemps, could you clear up please....

1. Did man set foot on the moon?
2. Did the Duke of Edinburgh arrange the murder of The Peoples Princess, Saint Diana?
3. Did the CIA blow up the twin towers?

Many thanks...

This post should be put up as a sticky at the head of every page of RL Fans, sums it up perfectly for me. icon_lol.gif
