"I'm really pleased about that and excited to to get going with this group of players, I can empathise with the fans but I'm calm in this situation and I've been reassured that this will be resolved very quickly," Ramsey stated. The team recently returned from a pre-season training camp in Spain and secured a 3-1 victory against Aldershot Town in a friendly.

Oxford's pre-season schedule includes further friendlies against Barnet, Crawley Town, and Ipswich Town.

Ramsey praised the players' exceptional commitment and high standards during training, noting their strong response to increased demands.
