What about that other guy specifically in charge of recruitment - Watson is it? Who really knows who's making what decisions, and it doesn't make much difference - this building for the future is all very well but it's the present season which worries most of us at the moment.

The owners should absolutly be getting it in the neck. They appointed, and are sticking with, on what we've seen so far, a clueless manager who is a mate. They are overseeing a bunch of established league pros leaving being replaced (or in the case of our RB not replaced) by youngsters who can't get a game or players from non league. They appear to have no plans in place for the stadium, they apparently didn't even speak to FK before taking over.

Actions speak louder than words, not matter how powerful those words are, their actions so far have resulted in a rabble on the pitch that even at home in front of 7000 fans can't beat a team reduced to ten men for most the match.

There's weren't the only bid on the table and they need to quickly start demonstrating why they are the right people to take OUFC forward.

Same here. There's non-league football just down the road from me, and I reckon I'd enjoy it more without 40 years of supporting baggage. There's also a better chance that my hard-earned will go towards the club rather than swilling around a bunch of 'cleverly' repackaged debts for the sake of a hedge fund.

Less than 5 years ago there was a bandwagon passing by your doorstep, Dave. They failed to get into the League I play-offs by a whole 7 points in that season, but now appear to be pushing for a Champions League spot. Just goes to show how it CAN happen to clubs that are well managed.

I’ll be popping in down there a week Sunday as it’s one the most atmospheric grounds in the country.

Won't be jumping on that one John, or any other. I used to go to The Dell 4-5 times a season but have only been to St Mary's twice, once in the first season to see what it was like and then to a development game v. Chelsea when they let people (and, more importantly, kids who were in the last week of the school summer holidays) in for free and got a crowd of about 6k. I love what they've achieved and are doing now but it's not my club.

IT IS NOW TIME FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO CONTROL THE PURSE STRINGS AT OXFORD UNITED TO FACE UP TO THESE FACTS .

Derek Clarke is Guest of Honour on Saturday - tell him to bring his boots.

You're all very mean (don't get me wrong, I don't think these are sensible suggestions, but ...). And, to be fair, Wolves did announce that Ricketts was available on loan ... He's 33 if that makes you feel sufficiently old!
