Sure.
I’d like to see broad targets and timescales. For example, Championship football with 3 years, stadium situation resolved within 3 years.
Then I’d like to hear more detail on how they propose to deliver and what significant choices they believe may lie in front of them.
It would be nice to hear more detail on their plans for their marketing, community engagement and supporter liaison activities.
I don’t expect to be kept up-to-date with every single detail and realise that specifics on investment or plans for a new stadium will be confidential until things have been completed.
I don’t think the above is unreasonable and frankly I’m amazed that everyone isn’t demanding to hear from them on these topics.
Eales and Ashton may not have had a plan for the stadium but they came with a plan for how they were going to run us. They communicated that well, for a time.
Do you think that’s an unreasonable request? Would you not feel reassured?
Tiger has stated that he wants the club to be in the championship, and hopefully PL one day but wouldn't give any unrealistic timeframes. He said that this would be done by providing competitive budgets but also developing our own stars of the future. This including increased investment in our youth programme and the introduction of the under 23's. This is already proving successful and a number of our younger players have already had first team experience with many more to come. Tiger has said numerous times about marketing the Oxford brand and taking our club out into the global market. Also looking locally to attract fans of the future with improved family events and will continue to strengthen links with the supporters. We've heard that a number of sites are being looked into, including staying at the Kassam and the intention is to get a stadium we can actually call home. This is progressing and information was fed back to the board on Saturday.
So, what you're asking for has been said. The problem is that many don't believe it or want to see proof.
The same would apply if Erick and others set out their plans or expectations.
