Blue collar street food doing the match day food stalls. What a ruddy great idea that is.

A proper moneyball signing

a good sensible signing that ticks a lot of the required boxes

can he fanny about at the back, though?

need a bit of height, strength and experience in at CB, and some leadership in the team, and this ticks all of those boxes.
how is he on the ball?

its pretty clear that he had no idea of th eextent of our financial issues, and certainly wouldn't have known there would be anything like a transfer embargo as a result

He's seems to be getting more and more frustrated and who can blame him? Media noise one suspects. There is a plan. A long term one. There is no quick fix. Gomes will be fully aware. There'll be activity behind the scenes. I'd expect last minute additions in the form of loan players. End of last se...

It’s sponsorship and it’s 20ft tall. I’m sure Macron would have wanted it up ASAP. Back to my point - both the kit - and the stadium updates - have been left till late. It was signed in April. You sound like carillion or kier making late payment excuses lol. yeah,defo shows a lack of organisation n...

2015 is a gr8 kit

If he has any sense he would see how the season unfolds. I calculate that we have 11 Academy players who could break through this season and so that is the big hope IMO. If even 6 of these play 10 or more games that will fill a lot of gaps. that seems a recipe for disaster to me. fine to bring them...

all a balance of risk and cost
and for me a 3 million price tag and high wages for Oliveira possibly doesn't outweigh the risk involved, for me.

wouldn't be too bothered if we looked elsewhere, happy enough if it happened

He's seems to be getting more and more frustrated and who can blame him? Due to our financial position I can't see many coming in as we will struggle to get rid of players on high salaries. Does Gomes stay and risk relegation on his CV or will he take the pragmatic option and say I cant keep this t...

Denver Royal

paddy20 Due to our financial position I can't see many coming in...

We would have explained our financial position b4 he signed on?

im not sure the exact extent of our FFP was widely known at that point. he certainly seemed to think we would be getting players in early for the new season.

Hound Gomes not holding back in his interview post match about needing new players asap

And I don’t just think he means getting Boadu to sign a deal

Yep. Not really happy about the situation, for sure

En route home from our final game of last season I heard Bod being interviewed. You could tell he was really down at not even making the squad for that game. I got the impression he knew his time was up. He is a thoroughly decent guy and after such a promising start last season it was a shame that ...

Pointless ‘embargo’ really then. Soft hardly does it justice really ! Well no, it was in place as our forecast for the 2018/19 season showed we were at risk of breaching FFP - putting that in place to stop us spending in that period meant that we were unlikely to have a larger loss to contend with ...

even if we sell someone we shouldnt really be paying 25k a week for anyone right now
imo

I cannot apologise enough
but you cant make me feel worse about it than I already do

looked promising, tailed off dramatically, happy to let him go

if we had time(and weren't oxf*rd with FFP) to spend rebuilding his confidence, and bringing him back into the team over time and reducing the errors/improving his weak points id say keep him, but we do not have that

blackett was frequently awful that season, and stam repeatedly picking him says more about him than it does obita

that^^^

he was played exactly as often as he deserved to, based on how he played when he did get chances to play. just like simon cox.
just because a year or so later he turned into a very good player who went on to surpass the team he left doesn't mean he should have played back then.
