Eales has a lot to answer for

Back in October there was talk of Satori taking over the club.

This was agreed but at the last minute Mr Eales pulled out stating any deal done would be " in the best interest of Oxford United"

Since that time Mr Eales has hardly spoken and there is talk of another takeover.We have sold some of our better players and got worst ones in. We are now in a relegation battle

This has had a damaging effect on the club, so I ASK YOU Mr Eales is this really in the best interests of the club,or in your best interest.
 
Just feel we r in melt down and EALES is to blame and don't give a s**t. I don't understand the game game he is playing with the fans. He built up so much respect prob lost it now. If the Chairman is selling u would think he would like to leave with some respect.
 
Also happens when u do invest and do appoint a manager

I suppose it depends how you define invest, especially in the last year or so.

How you keep defending him is beyond me. Even Nick Harris and Jerome are saying that he needs to do something now.

Ah well, keeping playing the violin as the ship sinks.

You are right, we need to get on top of the situation now, can you pop down to wickes and grab a load of buckets so we can start raising money to save the club again:)

He’s a businessman. Whatever deal he does will be in his best interests not the clubs despite what he says. Surely you don’t believe Kassam when he states that he has the clubs best interests at heart...

I could, but I’d use them to bail out the sinking ship instead.
 
I suppose it depends how u define defending him. After all u have been attacking him since before he even brought the club. No one is playing a violin Sean, we are all fully aware of the situation, yet as I’m sure u know some of the things levelled at him are plain crazy. Where’s myles praising the appointments of a new academy head, a new md, new scouts and coaches? A new slo ? U we’re all quick enough to point out when we didn’t have them ? I guess he must have jumped in a life boat with Charles

First of all, I’ve never argued about the appointments at the club, but out of those you mentioned I’d say Dan is a good apointment, not overly impressed with Naill and not sure about the scouts etc, but if the recruitments in the summer are anything to go by then they’re not that great either.

Re; jumping in the life boat, it’s a shame Darryl didn’t jump in Sartori’s as I’m fairly sure it would have taken him on a more enjoyable journey! Or I guess he can keep waiting on Tiger’s excuses for lack of funds.
 
our chairman wouldn't renege on a fans forum that he arranged,(that he initially promised for December, so this is the rearranged fans forum originally set for late last year), would he?:sneaky:

I wouldn’t hold your breath too long Sarge! Then again, you might need to if this ship keeps sinking!

No I don't believe one word Mr K said about the best interests of the club. But foolishly I did believe Mr Eales. There can be no doubt now even amongst his staunchest allies that he has bitten off more than he can chew and is looking for the best financial deal for himself and not the club.
Perhaps all chairmen of football clubs are the same, ruthless and in it for themselves.

And what’s mr sartori’s view on the stadium at WE he was sold as part of the dream? £20m mr sartori will get u the club and this great new development. Oh btw, it’s probably a lot more than £20m. And we don’t actually have any permission to build it other than farmer jon is happy to move his pigs to a different site. Bet he would have enjoyed that journey.

But that cannot include good ol Mr Eales, can it? .... he substantially raised prices for both ST and matchday tickets to improve the squad for this season and to mount a push for promotion or at the very least the playoffs......just look at the squad we have currently, and the run of recent results, as well as the current position in League 1, they DO all speak for themselves :cry:

I used to think that Mr Eales was a different sort of chairman but in effect he is no better than Merry. When things are going well he is everywhere when things go sour nothing.
I would also like to know what is going on behind the scenes on other matters. For example we were told at the Oxvox meeting that the club were talking to the council about the training ground at Horspath Road and how important it was that we get it. I think that meeting was two days after the Oxvox meeting early inJan
What have we heard since?
 
Here we are in the age of instant communications, video conferencing, Skype etc. etc. and we are supposed to believe that because slippery is out of the country on business he can't even arrange a press release of some kind? No updates, nothing. Even the board (and that's another joke) are silent. (excuse my believing something had been said yesterday!)
Even the players are now asking questions.
In any business the alarm bells would be ringing, very, very loudly.
 
Believe when I see it.

Two questions from me please......

1. Where did ALL of the Roofe transfer money go to? (including undisclosed)
2. Can we please see ALL the income received from ALL fund raising events at the Kassam Stadium and where that money went?

The vultures are hovering........

Keep it real!
