You want me to prove that Eales ran off with the loot and left the club in the st? It's not provable - because I don't have access to the detailed financial information (or knowledge to interpret it - I am, as I keep saying, a non-ITK poster with working eyes and brain) and because we don't know whether the club is truly in the st - Tiger may turn out to be a deep-pocketed hero leading a team of crack financiers to take us on the journey of a lifetime.
But Eales was a dilletante owner who made claims and statements that he has failed to live up to - that have turned out to be lies. He bailed out with inelegant haste and doesn't care much whether the club is in the s**t now that he's got as much money out as he could.
What is undeniable is that Eales said that when he left he wouldn't leave the club in debt. Well that wasn't true and he had not intention in the settlement of holding to that statement: the club has (had) a charge of £4.2m to Eales' companies, not Tiger - the club, the club has had to swallow the settlement of the arbitration with Kasstad, plus the WPL debt situation that I don't fully understand.
Has Eales left the club in debt when he promised he would not? Yes he has. Was he laughing all the way to the bank? I don't know, but I wouldn't be surprised if he had a little giggle about it.
You also made the more interesting statement that "Eales was a good owner". At least there's some merit in the claim and, again, a final analysis can't be made till the Tiger dynasty finally shows us what it's worth. My view, in a nutshell is that on the positive side we got: promotion, the best football for decades, 2 visits to Wembley and a few of us got free pints. On the negative side we got: lumbered with an incompetent manager, placed in a fight we didn't need and couldnt win with Stadco, a depleted and disheartened off-field management, alienated elements of the fanbase (Ultras, Mixter, ...), and the club loaded with debt and sold to a mystery consortium led by a person whose previous interaction with a UK football club was orchestrated as a property deal that relieved that club of a fortune.
Does that make him a good or bad owner? People will make up their own minds and express their opinions - we've certainly suffered a lot of shouting about what he's done for the club. In my opinion he hasn't done anything for the club - he's done it for himself - from the shiny new trainset with Ashton & Appleton, his cringe-making Mike Ashley populism, the scramble to get out, flag-gate, fibs about training facilities, the club's best interests and the exit with bag of swag. He's not your mate, fellow Oxford supporters, and he never was.
