Hi. That's useful. Thanks. I am not a lawyer but I have wondered whether the covenant could be wriggled out of in that instance....cheers

Hi. Serious question. Can Kassam overturn the covenant if he gifts to OUFC a ground that is of L1 standard? For example, if he bought Court Place Farm, expanded it to 6k capacity etc., could he then apply to have the covenant declared null and void on the basis he had provided an adequate...

Why would it be true? Oldest trick in the book Looking at 'exciting' signings none of whom come off. Remember the Venky's? When they came in they were 'looking at' signing Beckham and Ronaldo......

There has been a huge whiff of bs about our transfer dealings all summer. We have sold two players for c£1.0m, have released c. 10 more, have released one of our best players as we didn't want to activate the second year of his contract. And in return? We have signed one player for a fee (btw...

Nope- but it's a pretty reasonable assumption given the difficulties we appear to be having in converting 'targets'.....

Correct. We have seen no evidence of a credible plan. And at the risk of repeating myself, renting a new training ground from the council, creating a 'new' u23 team (basically re badging what we already had) is not evidence of appropriate funding. We are obviously struggling to get good...

Bang on. This underlines exactly what quite a few of us have been saying since the takeover. It's all very well having big plans, but it's generally a good idea to back them up with cash. The difficulties we have been having with recruitment indicate (and this is putting it politely) there is a...

Eh? The players have nice cars. Therefore this proves Tiger is investing at the level he promised. Not sure I follow the logic of that one. ..

I assume this comment is a joke?

He'll do well at Swindon. Small club. Low expectations. Mid table L2 and their fanbase will be happy......

Great. But it’s a facility rented from the council. It is nothing to do with Tiger and his investment.....

Maybe I am just a cynic, but given Tiger’s apparent reluctance (thus far) to make significant investments in players, I find it literally unbelievable that he would spend £400k on two players before he bought the club. And don’t forget it would be in Eales interests to ‘big up’ his prospective...

No, I am not doing it for reaction. I am genuinely concerned about where Tiger’s ownership will take us. I thought his statements in the first few weeks were ridiculous, and they reminded me (in a very bad way) of early Kassam and his ‘journey’. Quite a lot of people seem to be confusing...

Please do. And also try and learn some manners in the next few months.

Indeed. I have been baffled as to why us renting a new training ground from the council is proof of Tiger's 'commitment '

Fair point. But i suppose the difference is that then we had the financial means to sign him. Which doesn't appear to be the case now

I think you will find the point of a forum is to have y'know a debate. I am questioning a transfer policy that appears to have shifted from buying prem reserves (with sell on value) to importing loanees (with zero sell on value). That doesn't mean that I want us to do badly. It simply means that...

Which bit am I missing?!

The difference is that we actually signed Roofe, so when he turned out to be great he was our player and we could sell him for £3m. If Browne is brilliant (and btw he has never started a first team game), then West Ham probably take him back at Christmas
