Re: Fans forum
It was me who asked how he planned to turn around current losses and to what extent is he prepared to support them. I didn't get an answer. The point being, if he's only prepared to chuck, say, £2m in, we are screwed in a year. Unless things change on the pitch, over the next three months, Eales cou...

Re: Fans forum
All was very positive and encouraging in terms of wanting to do the right things in the right way. However, Eales is a man without a plan. There really has been no consideration as to how the ( or, a) ground will be purchased. It doesn't appear a priority, if on the agenda at all. It's clearly an ex...

Is the club ...
... overly focussed on the medium to longer term, whilst ignoring the immediate priorities? Most of what we hear, including today’s announcement regarding scouting, is all very positive. I don’t disagree with much of what we hear. The vision appears right and upbeat. However, if our inability to win...

Re: incoing players rumours
Don't agree with that scenario, as Barnett will still be paid his wage, from Peterborough, as per contract. The only question is what proportion of that wage is being paid to PUFC for his services. Our agreement is with PUFC not Barnett, whilst on loan, is it not? Somewhat different to the deal that...

I think it highly likely that Pal Lundin watched that game, whilst at home, inspiring him to subsequently take a break from his porn star career for a stint at the mighty yellows.

Re: Questions for the board
A little disappointing really. Nothing fundamentally new. No clear answers to our current predicament. Open mind, time will tell.
Re: Wow
At present, an increase in unsecured debt is of no additional risk to OUFC. Not being able to run the business at break even / profit, on an annual basis, is indeed a threat.
Re: Tinkerman
Basically, Kassam took £6m out of the club to the benefit of his other business interests, which will have enjoyed a corresponding gain.
Re: Tinkerman
Value of stadium = Rent from OUFC + Rent from London Welsh + Other income, less operating expenses, divided by market rate of return. London Welsh have significantly increased the value, hence screwing up any chance of obtaining the ground, whilst wrecking the pitch. IL knows he needs an exit strate...
Re: Tinkerman
With regards to building a team and knowing whom we want, this quote from GW fills me with no confidence at all: “There are a lot of good players out there who are going to be out of contract. We will be able to pick up a couple of them, I’m sure". Since GW arrived there hasn't been a single in...

Re: James Constable
"The stadium lease will be up for renewal in the short to medium term, with zero prospect of Kassam allowing the rent to be reduced and no option for the club to play elsewhere" Is there not a ground in Witney waiting to be developed and utilised? London Welsh appear to have used it, in su...

Re: Asset of Community Value Tribunal Decision - Monday 12 M
Can you think of a realistic scenario for when this might be of value to OUFC?

Re: Possible league reform
I can see us developing a real rivalry with Stoke B. With their fiesty fan base and travelling support, it'll be a cracking atmosphere. Just what's required, eh. Joking aside, the proposals are beyond preposterous.Utter contempt for the spirit of the sport in our country. As stated by others, should...
Re: Incoming!
Kids. We give them space to make their own judgement on trivial matters such as religion, people, interests etc. However, we clad them in yellow from day one in an attempt to brainwash and influence, against all odds, whilst being horrified at the thought of them turning to an alternative clan.
