Going to play devils advacot here....
Say the takeover gets over the line in the next week or so and we get rid of JR which appears to be the main consensus of opinion on here and the new owners bring in their man, he has till January to work with this squad of players which has been roundly slagged off from keeper to centre backs, centre midfield and both main strikers as unfit for purpose then what do fans expect the new manager to achieve with this underachieving bunch of players.
By the time he can add or get rid of players the season is half over and our promotion hopes have gone up in smoke then what do we do as we're facing a third year in this league.
We might get lucky and the new manager gets a response out of this squad, like Lincoln did on Saturday or Bolton are currently doing by getting improved performances and results then we might just rescue this season after all, however I for one won't be holding my breath.
Personally. I think the takeover has derailed our season already, JR is managing under a handicap and the players aren't sure what their futures are and being modern self centred footballers they fail to see the bigger picture that trying their guts out might just secure their futures.
Just a few thoughts whilst I've got a spare ten minutes as it's very quiet at work. Tin hat is already in place.
Oxford United have done without spending

No need for a tin hat. That's how you see it mate.
My view would be that performances under Ross have not been great for the last year, and we have scraped by too often, so I don't think he can use the takeover as an excuse for abject performances.
