Re:

I'm not sure what people mean when they talk about investment then. I have never expected or known an owner of Oxford United to give money to the club that they don't expect to get back with interest or some sort of profit. Isn't that how our capitalist free market society functions? Well, people m...

My thoughts exactly.

As we're keeping most of our squad I think we'll struggle to go up at Champs, which leaves us with the lottery of the play offs.

Re:

The OxVox statement clearly says NM and KT confirmed the info about the stadium deal. If you are saying that NM or KT didn't say that, then YOU are implying they made it up. I don't think they did, I think NM and KT said that and they got it wrong and we are now in a very worrying position. If we d...

'If Kassam had still been around, I doubt if we would have sold more than 500 season tickets this year and we would probably be playing to gates of under 2000 at home. If Kassam had been here still I believe Patto would be manager, Magilton as assistant and we would be in the football league and fee...

Your first four sentances are nonsense. If theres one thing he did do was pay off rubbish from previous managers and invest in a new squad every season due to his chopping and changing of managers. Why don't you stick to TiU with provocative rubbish like that? If you were so sure of his 'evilness' 2...

Well I know who KY is but I don't know who GY is.

In fact KY had a whole section on this forum devoted to his previous achievements.

Suggest GY thinks rather carefully before getting narky again.

Re:

hope tom winters gets the chance to show us what he can do then, and won't end up being another that slipped through the net. It is up to him whether he does or not isn't it? 3 months is enough to show you have got the right attitude, his wages will not be great so let's see.. I see that Sills has ...

Can no-one from OxVox say what the hold up is? If it is Kassam as seems to be the case why has there been so little action on this point. To me it would show Kassam up to be the man many people claim for him to be if after telling a couple of thousand Oxford fans and the media that he won't sell the...

There were actually 8 games left when Merry took over. Surely you can't have been happy with the players brought in? AG - Liability when two better keepers on the bench. Dropped then picked again then injured giving away a goal. Released on a free transfer yet to be picked up. SG - Complete waste of...

Well we were led to believe that Magilton was coming if Merry took over. In fact it turned out that he was likely to come and do a job with Patto and sort our midfield out in the process thus surely keeping us up. In all honesty I'd rather have a Patto Magilton combo then Jim Smith, not having been ...

Replies: 22

Kassam has always reacted to fan pressure, buying Moody, sacking Wright Rix and like you say selling the club pretty sharpish. Once we've brought the stadium it will be too late to do anything. If he is demanding an unfair amount of money that Merry is refusing to pay or attaching conditions to the ...
