Even more so if it means that dodgy pension fund falls apart as a result I don't think the billion dollar Arizona fire service (and others) pension fund will be much affected by losing money in binland. But I do think that questions will be asked. The money put up was in the way of loans. Failing to go up will mean another 2 seasons minimum before they can think of playing in the PL. That's going to mean an awful lot of money having to be put in. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh you read my mind. They've been awfully quiet. I still remember all those who wanted us to get McKenna? I couldn't believe it. He's underperformed in the division below with the most expensive squad! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Worthy Nigelton 1,057 Posted January 21, 2023 (edited) Correct @hogesar McKenna's acid test was always going to be how he responded to the inevitable blip. Early signs dont look good. Edited January 21, 2023 by Worthy Nigelton 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BroadstairsR 2,183 Posted January 21, 2023 (edited) So they actually lost to Oxford. Haha. They've probably spent more the last two windows than almost the rest of the league put together. I recall McKenna being described as "the best young coach in the country, probably Europe," by one TWTD poster. Haha.. Now they are starting to question him, eg "Giving a rookie manager that sort of money to splash was a big mistake." Keep current form up and they won't even make the play-offs. The reaction of their US backers if they fail to get promoted this season is anybody's guess. Edited January 21, 2023 by BroadstairsR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Raptor 1,218 Posted January 22, 2023 Their luck will change... 'We are just simply the unluckiest team ever... Teams almost always score with their only shots on target and normally by a player who never scores or was only playing due to lack of numbers. Not forgetting the defected shots from 20+ yards. We must average a goal every 6 shots on target and normally come up against a keeper who has a bad back from conceding so many and plays the game of their life.' They've been unlucky since gearge burley was manager! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same old story. They play a couple good games and they then brag about their attendance hitting 28,000 only for the season to fall apart and then the average atendence then falls below 20,000 again. Hell the season they were relegated to league one if I remember right they had an average attendance of only around 15,000. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 3,307 Posted January 22, 2023 Sorry but I’ve just picked this off the Oxford Fans Forum! Given the foggy conditions and the amount of bitching by the Binners after the game (had they got the winner they’d no be so vocal) but brilliant! “All we needed yesterday was some fans that used to be Ipswich supporters. They could have surrounded pitch and then breathed in and fog would have gone. Yes we just needed a load of extractor fans 🤣🤣” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
