One for Myles - Remember this loan being mentioned in the "beware of Tigers" thread?

Nuseibeh is a partner in the manager of the investment fund that loaned Reading FC £25 million. And this loan was secured by parachute money due from the Premier League, as well as all the land and stadium. Sound familiar?

Not much in terms of assets to secure against with us apart from possibly transfer fees.
 
Wiki - Horst Geicke was ranked as the 270th richest German in 2015. Let's hope he's got a few quid lay about still
 
I’d be sceptical that the first one has close links with the Reading loan.

I can’t see how they could replicate that without parachute payments or a ground to sell off.

But perhaps it may be better to have a business man owner rather than a trainset owner? If their intention is to improve the club rather than asset strip?
 
Phew! There was I thinking it was Russian loan sharks Tiger was up to his balls with.
 
Along with personal wealth/disposable income, it is also important to know what else they bring to the table. Tiger himself may not be as independently rich as Sartori for example, but links with Singha and Thai Airlines would be huge for a club like Oxford. Equally, these 2 directors could look to bring in more investment, better day to day control at the club and maybe broker a deal for the a stadium (current or new). This would be more important than simply having a heavy piggy bank or two.
 
Lets just wait and see. Not much else we can.

And hope that Oxvox have blown the dust off their club recovery plan just in case all this goes horribly wrong.

IMHO the future of OUFC comes down to whether the owner can solve the stadium issue. Anyone know when this arbitration saga is likely to be concluded? Mind, if it does go against FK I suspect he will just look for more ways to make life difficult for the club.
