What is this? Hopefully this is not true...

I await the plume of smoke from our respective authorities - OUFC itself and the office of Darryl Eales (or, rather, his representatives on this board) - to find out how this has happened. After all these years of fashioning a "close relationship", we (or, rather, OxVox) applaud the chairman for "all he has done for the club", even while HMRC's lawyers are preparing the winding-up petition on, erm, the self-same club.
Truly, this is beyond parody. That, yet again, it is a humble fan who has dug around and found it out just says it all. Not entirely impressed by Tiger's Due Diligence efforts, either. Did it consist of an open-top bus tour of the University and a cup of tea at the Randolph?
On a serious, less sarky note, this is appalling timing. How are the players going to feel? What are prospective new managers going to think. It is an utter, embarrassing shambles. Dave said elsewhere that it was sort of Ok because it had happened to Orient. Enough said.
Oh, I'm blocked for some reason!?Why can't I find this Ed Hawkins account on Twitter?

And you told Charlie to grow up?! I'm glad that it's been settled. But of course a winding up order shouldn't raise any concerns at all....Well this has pissed right on ur parade hasn’t it charlie and Myles.

Well, quite. That would be a pretty low move though, not paying an outstanding tax bill and letting the new owner deal with it instead.I’d be more concerned if Eales was still the owner, Myles. As it stands, I’ll assume that this was a deliberate attempt by an outgoing owner to maximise a cash position during the takeover. If it happens on Tiger’s watch, I’d be more concerned. Eales is history and so is this debt to HMRC.
