In a repeat of the 1986 Milk Cup final; in the world of Football Manager, Oxford United has once more beaten QPR in a major cup final, and this time it’s a far more important one too, the UEFA Europa League.
We went into the game as favourites, and two goals from Shaun Goddard meant that we were able to win the cup. They were Goddard’s first two goals for the club, and he went on to score again in a 3-0 final day victory over Chelsea at the Kassam. £3.5 million is the price we’ll be paying to bring Goddard back to the club on a permanent basis, and seen as he apparently “has the potential to far exceed Roy Davis’ current level of ability”, and Roy Davis scored 25 goals for the season; I do believe that signing him for that price is an absolute bargain. Man City’s loss is my gain, and the England Under-21 will no doubt be an excellent strike partner for Roy Davis next season.
I think Shaun Goddard may just prove to be my best signing yet, and now can’t wait to see him back in action at the Kassam next season.
The UEFA Europa League Cup has now been added to my Oxford United trophy cabinet, and Oxford United is continuing to make progress in my quest to make Oxford the best football team in England.
A top four finish is now what I’ll be looking to achieve next season, and with the new signings that I’m going to be making then I do believe that a place in the Champions League is definitely possible.
