So the staff were happy with having to rely on handouts from supporters to pay the wages were they? Or were they happier getting their money on time every month? If I'd have spent the money Heard did on behalf of OUFC I'm sure the staff would have been happy at the time - doubt they'd have thanked m...

Nice to see a bit of debate on either side. I think Merry's heart is in the right place but I think I was expecting a little too much given how much he had been built up and he was going to invest real money with 5 ex Prem players coming etc. Still I will be buying a season ticket again this season,...

It does seem a little odd to me the easy ride Merry &amp Smith have been given. He came in with talk of top quality players to be brought in. Only one really improved the squad and the rest disrupted a team who were finally showing some unity. Losing at home to Chester and only getting one point...

Well whilst Kassam owns the stadium he still remains in control of our destiny. This should not be allowed to be swept under the carpet, I do not see much of a future for OUFC if we are not playing in our own stadium and I cannot see how 'United' we can feel when we are willingly paying money to som...

Well it was being discussed on here before the goals for year one came out. And I also think its key in moving the club forward. Just what is the sticking point. Kassam said he wanted to sell the two together, is he playing silly beggers with the price or do Merry and co really not want (or cannot a...

How much for the stadium?

Just wondered what people on here thought would be a 'fair' price that Merry should pay for the stadium. Personally I think the price should be based on what it cost (obvious really) with a reduction based on the amount of rent we have paid and the fact that Kassam got a very profitable leisure comp...

Isn't it fortunate that we've got a club secretary who knows the rules inside out.

I think it is vital we own the stadium come the new season. We have no real long term future if we don't. The whole point about moving away from the Manor was for the new stadium to generate more income. Does anyone know what the sticking point is - is Kassam asking for too much? He did after all sa...

Re:

I get the feeling that we won't struggle as much as many clubs do. In the past some have gone down and just assumed that they just need to keep to roughly the same standard as they had before and they will bounce back easily. By the time they realise and start implementing changes they have been sw...

Which is why I assume you're posting on here again after telling the likes of me to bugger off and use this forum which was one you had stopped using.

Still at least you'll no doubt provide someone to have a discussion with.

I'm back. Was thinking about changing the name as always seemed to wind a lot of people up before but after winning Das Boot I'm rather stuck with it so I can pick the questions for next time.

One of which will be how many times will the ball go out of the stadium. A good question home and away now.
