There are a lot easier ways to make money, and quicker! The kind of money we’re talking about here, anything they did make would be a drop in the ocean.
Looking at their successful backgrounds, I can't help feel that the University and prestige of the city is an attraction to them.I would hope, prestige of Oxford, the fun of a run to the the Prem and of course some investment of a new Stadium along the way..
If I have to transfer to Star Trek and put my Spock head on......Them being here is not logical Captain!
Thank you, Fane.All good things come to those who are prepared to wait.
If nothing was going on, and the WUPs were thought to be a serious issue, then wouldn't Directors be resigning at a rate of knots?
Rather than a new one being appointed?

While speculating the benifits of wealthy owners/board members and their potential spending power on oufc
A cautionary note .. remember that wealthy fella (!) Who was the owner a decade or so ago .. who is our current landlord....not all wealthy owners turn out to have the best interests of the club in mind
They usually dont make mega money by being 'nice guys' . ... often acumulation of vast wealth comes with ruthlessness
Also, with Tiger at the helm, communication for us mushrooms hasnt been all that from day one.
I'm not sure what Kassam is worth but surely these guys blow him out of the water?
The money Kassam could make from OUFC was pretty substantial for him but as it stands currently, what is really in it for these businessmen?
I’m wondering the same thing. Surely any potential profits from land deals would still be small fry for people with billions in the bank? And, as others have already said, there are easier ways to make money - these guys have already been there and done that.I'm not sure what Kassam is worth but surely these guys blow him out of the water?

Presumably the pea-brains who booed them all on Saturday don’t think so ....So only knowing that we have a number of exceptional rich people as directors isn't exciting??!!

Blimey, this is tough going.
Right now you're allowing a positive bias to lead your thought process. Great, I'm happy that you're excited,
However, you're adding 2 and 2 and coming up with 5.
You have zero proof that they will do any of those things. Of course, they could, but, as yet, they haven't.
Here's a scenario.
They promise to do everything on your list, @Scotchegg. Then one day we learn of a planning policy change at either of the Councils and the chance of land development disappears. With it goes the chance to make the sort of money that would interest people who are, apparently, extraordinary wealthy. Think they'll see their promises through?

Thohir claimed this was the attraction when he joined. We now have an old boys club United by the same bragging rights.Looking at their successful backgrounds, I can't help feel that the University and prestige of the city is an attraction to them.
Not sure where these comments about our new boards combined wealth being able to blow Kassam out of the water come from?
He isn’t just going to roll over and play nicely because they have more money, if anything he might ask for more?
