“despite the Oxford Mail requesting information from the club”

When the club was sold by Eales he sold the soul as well. The new owner just pays lip service to the loyal supporters, he will soon realise that the supporters will not stand for it.

“despite the Oxford Mail requesting information from the club”

Is that the same oxford mail who bleated out TAG’s plans for Oxford City ?

The similarities with TAG are quite scary. The emphasis on the value of the 'Oxford' brand, the cash 'tied up abroad', the owner too busy with his day jobs on another continent.

Hi @OxVox - regarding this letter, did you get a response from the board, confirming recipt of the letter and intention to reply? if not - what are your next steps?

i appreciate next steps are pretty limited, just intrigued what can and cant be done etc...

 

[Essexyellows]

I can take a wild guess........................ nothing, nada, silence.

So.........,
Tiger “trying to improve cash flow”
Doesn’t sound great.
Wonder if that’s why KR was talking about how “ valuable” Cameron Brannigan is !

 

[ZeroTheHero]

Not much of a reply so far though. Confirms the taxman's been paid and "making sure future HMRC bills will be paid and that processes are in place to improve ongoing cashflow." The second bit of that is business speak for 'I've got no money' IMO!

Let's see what his 'more comprehensive statement' says. Less BS and more detail hopefully. Well done and keep pushing, OxVox!

Been led to believe the situation the club is down to the new directors coming in and the finances attached to them having to cleared from places other than Oufc. Make of that what you will.

I can understand that - however much you may be 'worth' - it's not necessarily easy to get your hands on significant amounts of liquid cash to shove into OUFC or anywhere else, but am I not right in thinking these new directors are supposed to a) be minted themselves and, b) have influential wealthy friends?

The fact that they can't, between them, quickly get their hands on a relatively meagre million pounds (say) to immediately help cash flow is worrying. Makes you wonder just how important OUFC is to them and how much effort they're putting into 'Project Oxford'.

Is £200,000 really a significant amount to a billionaire? I was led to believe the club board was blessed with at least 2, leaving aside the keeper of the keys.
