I actually complied that quiz for the Guardian. Sorry if it was too easy! Still, doesn't look like everyone is getting 100%.
Please also see my blog on Oxford United. I should be adding more to it now I'm back from holiday, including interviews with players.

Re:
No worries, it was still enjoyable doing it without resorting to Google to find the answers. How about setting another (and much more challenging) quiz?"Tombuzza89" wrote:I actually complied that quiz for the Guardian. Sorry if it was too easy! Still, doesn't look like everyone is getting 100%.

Re:
the question afterwards about mark wright being sacked in 2001 confirmed my answer to that one, as he was our first manager at grenoble road."A-Ro" wrote:The only two I had to think about were this and the transfer fee one so it is pretty easy."SteMerritt" wrote:9 as well.

10/10!
Re:
Not a ‘confirmation’ at all as the alleged abusing of Joe Ross (and other staff close to Minchery Farm employees) by Mark Wright was always open to debate and hinged on the word of one of the linos who had a quick chat with FK after the game. At the end of the day there was no proper enquiry made public - FK just sacked Wright on account of him being another crap manager of OUFC. Financially it gave him the perfect reason/excuse to do so without paying any contractual compensation."Matt D" wrote:The question afterwards about Mark Wright being sacked in 2001 confirmed my answer to that one, as he was our first manager at Grenoble Road."A-Ro" wrote:The only two I had to think about were this and the transfer fee one so it is pretty easy."SteMerritt" wrote:9 as well.

You mean another crap manager that Kassam hired. In Kassams time every manager he hired was pretty rubbish (Atkins included on account of the football, and Diaz because he wasn't actually in the country half the time and played his kids) - why was that Snake, why did he not learn from his numerous mistakes and have a half decent selection process, rather than pick the likes of Talbot/Wright/Rix?
Re:
True, FK had no idea how to pick a manager. About as clueless as Ian Lenagan I'd say. Thank goodness for Kelvin Thomas."ty cobb" wrote:You mean another crap manager that Kassam hired.
