New board member

Phew! There was I thinking it was Russian loan sharks Tiger was up to his balls with.

Tiger Sharks prefer warmer climates!! I'd have thought an investigative journalist would quickly establish that through google?!!
 
Along with personal wealth/disposable income, it is also important to know what else they bring to the table. Tiger himself may not be as independently rich as Sartori for example, but links with Singha and Thai Airlines would be huge for a club like Oxford. Equally, these 2 directors could look to bring in more investment, better day to day control at the club and maybe broker a deal for the a stadium (current or new). This would be more important than simply having a heavy piggy bank or two.
 
Lets just wait and see. Not much else we can.

And hope that Oxvox have blown the dust off their club recovery plan just in case all this goes horribly wrong.

IMHO the future of OUFC comes down to whether the owner can solve the stadium issue. Anyone know when this arbitration saga is likely to be concluded? Mind, if it does go against FK I suspect he will just look for more ways to make life difficult for the club.
 
Question is will ZAKi Mohammad be taking over eavesdropping duties in north stand toilets ?:unsure:
 
Wiki - Horst Geicke was ranked as the 270th richest German in 2015. Let's hope he's got a few quid lay about still
Seems to be an investor, primarily in South East Asia and lives in Vietnam:

It's interesting that Zaki was on the other side of the Reading loan. Is this just Tiger using an old business connection?
 
Off topic but where is Myles nowadays? I miss his contributions. If he's given up on here I really hope he's debating with a minority shareholder in Chinosland.
 
Geicke was a founder of VinaCapital, which is an 18bn Hong Kong investment company that looks very active in Vietnam. He's president of HJG Holdings LLC which seems to be a US company that doesn't report (Bloomberg seems to say). A quick butchers at the relationships of HJG (?) is of potential interest (I'm particularly pleased to see that a man from Del Monte has said 'Yes!').

One specialty appears to be building on government land (reference here and another pne on HongKong that I can't be arsed to link) and "His recipe for success is that he is never the first to venture into difficult markets. He prefers cherry-picking, usually after the first wave of bankruptcies hits a newly industrializing country." (same reference, about the Deustches Haus - which iirc is a f*****g carbuncle in a monster development that's disfigured Saigon mortally.

(Same ref again) The only reason he's not on the Forbes Rich List for HK is that his ex took off with half his assets. Stormy old relationship; in 2009 he was bound-over She may not have been pushed.

All in all, he looks like he'll be a credit to the club and just might be the man to give Firoz a (metaphorical) shoeing.
