Because we would be acting unprofessionally blabbing about a situation before any agreed joint statement between clubs.
there are other players who are going to be affected, (like for example, the keeper at the club where he is likely to be moving to) who will also need to be informed before an announcement is made

How is it unprofessional for us to inform our fans that a player has left? Nothing more than that? If he hasn’t left then why could he play or just be on the bench today?

Because we
Because the loan club will have a timetable for announcing the news and will expect us to abide by it. If we don't it will affect our reputation as a reliable loan destination with Brighton (and elsewhere)

Fair play to him. I expect his behaviours to considerably improve.

Then we are very weak if agree to that. Nothing wrong with telling Brighton that we will be announcing he has left us if they don’t do it by a certain time, if they don’t like that then tough. Other clubs won’t care if we do that.
The biggest issue with Beadle being recalled is if Eastwood is in goal come the Carlisle game. That would show a real lack of planning from the club. I’d argue it would be nice for a new ‘keeper to get a run out too before a league game but these things don’t always go to plan..
Fact Kip?

Buckingham did say today that there is a contingency plan in place if Beadle goes.

I'm not sure why so many people can't understand why the club haven't announced anything yet.
It's a Saturday and there is wall to wall football all day. Most of The Athletic's journalists are going to be tied up covering the 3rd round of the FA Cup. Tim will also want to give the final story a read over before it's released - 'yeah it's good but before you publish please can you add in that I used to be at Man U and Inter Milan?'

it’s standard communication practice in any business really, it’s not weak at all.

What to keep your own “customers” in the dark? Yeah, it’s a great look.
We don’t even know the status of the recall, if there indeed is one. Maybe the deal isn’t signed yet? This is in total speculation.
Either way, communicating something like this which is inportant to both clubs should of course be done in an aligned way. We have no reason to P**s off Brighton, and it would be wildly unprofessional to just announce it anyway because some fans insist on hearing about everything as soon as they think it’s happened.
I know. But we were also lead to believe there would be a striker here before todays game. Therefore I think it’s best to wait and see.

3000+ Oxford fans have paid good money following their team to Coventry today to find our No.1 Keeper absent with absolutely no explanation.
Mental that people on this forum think our club should show more respect to f**king Brighton than to our own supporters.

I would rather P**s off Brighton than 3000 customers, but then maybe I have my business priorities wrong.
If you have an agreement with another club I am not sure that it is ever sensible acting unprofessional and breaking that trust?
Tbh I find it mental that this sort of non-communication is seen as wild disrespect of the fans. Think we need to get thicker skins if this is disrespectful.
Assuming he is being recalled, being aligned in communication with all parties including Brighton and James is part of being a well-run business, which we all want. If we blurt it out because we want to, it could play a role in making us look unfavourable for other clubs to loan to, and it’s pointless to take that risk when we’re a club that relies on loans.
There are plenty of other miscommunications that we should be getting pissed off about, but this ain’t one.
