A very interesting post Jem. A couple of points I would pick out from this are as follows...
This is, of course, a fundamental point and I'm surprised that you still believe this to be the case. It took me about half an hour on Wednesday to get the details of the organisation behind Tiger's bid, who the directors of that organisation are and what the shareholding is. Suffice to say, Tiger's name is not the only one which appears.
Not sure who made those allegations, but I know it wasn't me. I did however point out "Jack"'s links to Pairoj, Mr BIG, and Shinawatra, and their tangled web of companies. Did OxVox look into these links in any depth? Or did you, and by "you" I mean OxVox, simply point Tiger and Jack to this forum and ask for comment? As mentioned above, it doesn't take long to investigate such issues.
In the absence of any evidence of such scrutiny, is it surprising that concern is raised? There has been no public comment from OxVox on the shenanigans at Reading, no comment on the involvement (however supposedly remote) of "Jack", no comment on Tiger not actually outlining what his plans for the club are. Now, in terms of "facilitating" the deal, you are of course right; this is a deal between two parties and they of course have the final say. But, as I said on here yesterday, when one of those parties is rocking up seemingly with more than the usual amount of baggage, surely it's essential for a supporters' trust to convey the message "We will be watching you..." and start with those difficult questions?
Indeed so. But why not be upfront in saying you haven't been given those answers? Why did the OxVox press release not say something along the lines of "We have had a meeting with Tiger and "Jack", and followed that up with further correspondence. Unfortunately, they haven't as yet spelled out to us what their plans are, but we hope that they will make this clear to supporters as soon as possible". Something as simple as that lets all parties know what the position truly is.
Again, this is correct. But it also underlines the need for a supporters' trust to demonstrably be asking the difficult questions as early as possible.
