I found it interesting.
Those are aims ... not a plan. I think that's what you are saying. I agree.I would think he more than likely has one even if he doesn’t want to communicate it. Maybe not a bad way to work, u can’t be beaten with the top six budget stick, or championship in 5 years if u haven’t mention a full on plan.
He has said he aims to improve communication, overhaul the merchandise, aim for the championship and possibly beyond, and use the name as a brand. But yeah where’s the bloody plan

To be fair Myles has never resorted to name calling or petty insults. The odd dig at Oxvox maybe. But despite us not agreeing on everything I think it’s actually pretty similar in aim, of getting the best for the club, we just come at it from different ends of the positive spectrum. I start at the best case and work back, he starts at the worse case and works forward.
Posters on here had a field day calling Eales "slippery" so they'd go completely ape if we had "oil" in chargeAt least Tiger is a cool name! I couldn't imagine having an owner called Bank or Oil!!
Surely you wouldn't be able to type hagiographical pissed>Are you pissed?
With no assets to strip, is there an ulterior motive? maybe, only maybe mind, the kit cleaning and ironing department might have a bit more added to their workload ?

The motive is to go for broke to get us into the Championship in one season then sell us on.

The EFL tests are a total joke. The Chinese consortium who took over Reading from Tiger had already been failed by the Premier League. Tiger's mentors had already been warned away from Pompey by the PL.Everyone listed as a director of the holding company will have been looked at, all past convictions will have been looked at.

Love to know just what we were getting for that kind of money. (or not getting as is suggested!)Firoka Oxford United Stadium 2017 accounts
"The company is in arbitration proceedings with its tenant in respect of the quantum of service charges billed to the tenant for the years 2015 to 2107. The total amounts billed in those years amounted to £601,701, and the company is confident in the case it has made to the arbitrator".
At a guess, coffeegate..Love to know just what we were getting for that kind of money. (or not getting as is suggested!)
If that's the case - and it sounds plausible on the face of it - why are we vilifying Eales?
As you say, it was never his plan to simply gift the club millions - he hoped to invest and sell at a profit. Along the way, he developed an affection for the club and still attends games. He didn’t get to quite where he’d hoped and “circumstances changed” for him so he needed to offload.
Why is that so terrible? Why does that make him “slippery”?
The only possible criticism I can see is that he MIGHT have favoured his own interests above the club’s by taking the Tiger money rather than the Sartori (because it was more) and he didn’t want to lose £3m (by your sums). But as we’ll never be able to compare the two bids (because only one resulted in a takeover), it’s impossible to say whether or not his decision was in the club’s interests.
Are you personally upset because you were involved in the Sartori bid but not the Tiger one? In which case, I suppose it’s understandable that you’d think the one you were involved with was better. But then that’s potentially putting your own self-interest above the club’s as you can’t possibly know that it was better in fact (and never will).
As for Tiger. I am still struggling to understand why anyone would want to buy a football club that they “can’t quite afford”, but I guess it’s not impossible. Let’s hope he’s not as stupid as that sounds…!
