Not entirely. A large dollop of blame needs to be laid at the door of Darryl Eales.The buck stops with Thanakarnjanasuth, this crisis is his making. He is responsible.
Hang on a minute Bradders there are some on here who said Kashi is one for the club a DM to cover Mous. And as you say has no value to the club in any form whatsoever.
So.....how many was it????
Not entirely. A large dollop of blame needs to be laid at the door of Darryl Eales.
The fact that pretty much all club income is being sent his way until he has recouped £4.2m plus whatever Tiger paid him up front must be significantly hamstringing the club.
Ditto, deciding to stop paying the service charge whilst the arbitration process was going on has left the club needing to find the best part of £750k - £1m to pay the outstanding amounts plus Firoz's legal costs. And lord know what happened with the sleight of hand with the WPL debt!
Yes, these are things which Tiger should have been aware of, but we're now in a position which the club owes significant HARD debt to two previous chairmen.
Well I'll probably get loads of stick but I'm staying optimistic about things.
I don't know who's who on here and what connections if any they have to the club but was said that the club was in a right mess when Darryl Eales seemingly lost interest and was selling up, so to get everything put right it will take time. Whether tiger is the right person or not is debatable but can understand moving funds into the country would be harder now. And surely if things were that bad people would be wanting to get out as soon as possible for the sake of their own reputations.
As mentioned on the radio, if we were around the top end of the table would people be so vocal about things.
Time will tell I guess but I'll be still behind the team with my support
Depressing reading indeed. Just the sort of club that potential strikers wouldn't touch with a barge pole. However....Can't help but feel that the MD has been selected as a 'duty scapegoat' and will fall on his sword pretty soon.
Tell me, when the club goes into administration how many points from our massive total, will be deducted?
It’s what we always do. The joy of supporting OxfordThe general message seems to be ‘there’s a rocky road ahead, please stick with us’.
I suppose that’s what we have to do..
I think NM is basically saying the money has run out?If the future is all about finding these little gems again and then selling them on they may has well walk now..what a great idea to keep breaking your squad up every season and then gambling that the conveyor belt keeps churning them out.
Does anybody really believe that we can reach the championship with such a model without further investment on top, let's not be fooled by play off places as that's another gamble and we have been the best part of 30 pts + from auto promotion. we've also seen players we've been in for go to higher based clubs and that's without bringing the likes of Wigan Blackburn and the bigger clubs that drop into league one.

Re Eales, I don’t disagree Myles.
However nobody forced Thanakarnjanasuth to buy the club, nobody forced the terms of the deal on him.
It begs the question did he actually complete the due diligence? Did he understand it? Did he just ignore it?
Yes Eales got a great deal for himself ,Thanakarnjanasuth willingly agreed to it, and we are where we are now as a direct result of that, and the way the club has been run since he took over.
Around the unexpected costs, were we /Tiger sold an expectation that we would win the stadium fee arbitration?
Then it became clear we wouldnt and cashflow became an issue.
I know its a bit radical, but Mark Devlin, a very experienced football MD has just left Brentford. There would be value in getting him in to take a look at the state of play, advise on our options and plan, and lend Niall some support on the football side of things. Even short term im sure he has something to offer.
