He didn't cost £4m. That's the top figure based on a host of variables i.e. promotion to the PL.Spending £4m (in league 1!!!!) on Will Grigg in January screamed "sh*t or bust, we need to get it done this season." If they lose out in the playoffs I think it's a monumental failure.

Still, it would have been a significant up-front payment.
Yes but a big step downwards in so far as goals scored.Pretty much covered by the funds received from Bordeaux, non?
I thought it was SD family who built up the family fortune, his father was really the Oxford fan and the real money in the family.Majority shareholder SD is a self-made millionaire dealing with risk management (insurance). Minority shareholder Satori is a multi-millionaire who has married into the family of a billionaire. I think they will all sleep well at night even if SAFC fail in the playoffs!
Hardly far off, it was an upfront fee of £3m rising to £4m. A record signing for League 1 level. Regardless of any player sales that's a huge player and a huge sum. They could have reinvested the Maja money but like I said, spending it all on Will Grigg screams panic to me.He didn't cost £4m.

I'd like them to go up. I think SD is a decent guy and should SAFC get promoted, he has more chance of making the money to save us (potentially) when the next crisis comes knocking upon our door. They also skew the league, which I don't think benefits OUFC.
They tried Marquis and a couple of others first I believe.Hardly far off, it was an upfront fee of £3m rising to £4m. A record signing for League 1 level.

About the same as Reading have taken away at times this season isn't it?Tinpot. Village teams always revert to the norm.
Like us. We probably belong somewhere in league 1 with occasional promotions to championship and down to league 2.
Check out @EastleighFC’s Tweet:About the same as Reading have taken away at times this season isn't it?
So Wrexham's defeat means that one of Eastleigh, Fylde, Solihull & Salford is going to be playing in the football league next season for the first time.
None of them averaged more than 2,500 crowds this season......
I used to think it was funny to have these tinpot clubs in the football league - and then we spent four years in the conference, and now I don't wish that on (almost) any established football league club. So good luck next year to Wrexham, Chesterfield, Hartlepool, Stockport & Torquay (and probably Notts County)!

Agreed. Out of those left I would prefer Eastleigh now. Don't want Man Utd B, Blackpool lite or Solihull. On that basis I've cursed Eastleigh now.
