    General Club Finances 2023

    The vast majority is "Amounts owed to group undertakings". In other words, the club owners.

    General Club Finances 2023

    It's confusing because each tier is subject to different FFP rules. PL & Championship are subject to P&S (Profit and Sustainability) rules. L1 & L2 are subject to SCMP (Salary Cost Management Protocol) rules. PL clubs losses cannot exceed £105m over any 3 season period Championship clubs...

    General Club Finances 2023

    This is what Grant Ferguson said in an interview with Jerome Sale on the Dub on 1st March: "The club (OUFC) will always have an unambiguous right to play at the stadium and call it home" "An outright, unimpeached right to use 24/7" Only words of course but at least he said it. If it can be put...

    General Club Finances 2023

    Whilst I agree with the general gist of your post, I don't think the bit I've bolded is strictly true. The loss for the year was £6.18m. The debt rose by £4.18m (from £19.98m to £24.16m). Unless I'm mistaken the difference is the £2m worth of ordinary non-redeemable shares issued 23rd June...

    General Niall McWilliams

    So in his leaving comments on the OUFC website, Niall expresses his gratitude for the support he has received in his role at the club. He specifically name-checks Darryl Eales, Tiger and Grant Ferguson. What about his current boss, CEO Tim Williams? Nope. Not a mention. Probably says it all.

    Transfer Window January 2024 Transfer Window Thread

    I think that's a pretty fair summary of where we are. And it wasn't only £2m in '23, there was a £1.5m share issue in June '22. The owners are hugely bankrolling us. They have to. If you do a rough calculation of our sources of income given there have been no significant players sales since...

    Transfer Window January 2024 Transfer Window Thread

    Agree with most of this except the bit highlighted. According to Companies House, in June '23 the owners issued £2m of new OUFC shares - effectively diluting their own holdings. This is effectively the owners paying the club £2m in return for shares. It's not a loan and they have no way of...

    New Stadium Plans - The Triangle - Planning

    Are you not putting the cart before the horse? I thought one of the OCC conditions for agreeing a lease was that 'The club must be given planning permission by Cherwell District Council.' So the lease won't be finalised until after CDC grant p[anning permission - or am I missing something?

    General Our Strongest Team...?

    They do. The EFL gave the clubs in each division a separate vote on whether to have 9 subs. The Championship clubs voted it in. L1 and L2 both voted against. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/66059634

    Manager/Coach Life After Manning - New Manager Search

    I'm pretty sure last week Jerome Sale said his understanding was the club were willing to pay more than they got for Manning in compensation but it would be 'nothing like' the numbers doing the rounds on social media (which I assumed referenced the 'almost £1m' for DB on twitter). It wasn't...

    And as they walk off for half-time at Orient, Jerome on commentary: 'we hope your enjoying this around the world, from Wellington to Mumbai........' Yet another less than subtle hint that Buckingham is the main target?

    The Des Buckingham to Lincoln rumour was pretty much dismissed by Jerome Sale on RadOx tonight, he's been assured by people he knows connected to Lincoln that there is nothing in it.

    Manager/Coach Life After Manning - New Manager Search

    The squad Eustace inherited was whoever was there at the end of the 21-22 season. He had 3 transfer windows and there were plenty of players in and out during those windows so it's not the squad he was 'given', it's his squad. One example of the first players he signed in July '22 was John...

    Manager/Coach Life After Manning - New Manager Search

    Yes, I've got a couple of friends who are season ticket holders at St Andrews and he's definitely not the continuity candidate. Birmingham were well organised at the back but relied for most of their goals on either set pieces or high balls into the box for big men up front. It worked for the...

    Ex-Staff Liam Manning

    When MAPP left, wasn't it reported he was doubling his salary from £250k here to £500k at Leicester? That was over 6 years ago, surely Manning is already on north of £300k. Having said that, I'm not sure that the money is the issue here. Our owners can, if they choose, more than match...

    Ex-Staff Liam Manning

    That's a bit of a tenuous positive I think, Ryan Lowe was poached by PNE in Dec 21, Schumacher (Lowe's no.2) got them promoted 18 months later in 2023. After the game today, the general consensus on Radox was that if Manning left his no.2 Hogg would go with him.
