People want look at what he did at DC United & Inter Milan. It's not dissimilar to OUFC.
Cut backs, fans not happy, little funding for player's.etc etc .setting up for the flip.

Two terribly unsuccessful businesses right there................DC United he "flipped" a reported $80 million and Inter Milan $475 million.........................

Pocket change.

I think Stan’s dad, Danny isn’t fully aware of the facts concerning the embargo. It’s not just free transfers that aren’t permitted it also means we aren’t allowed to register any new players also!

 

[Digby]

It’s not all about money it’s about the love of the game , not only for players but supporters alike .

 

[NorthWestOx]

If my understanding of the situation is correct; Erick is putting the running costs in monthly but can’t find the lump sum required to satisfy the financial rules that show the funds are in place to complete the season.

Isn't it more to do with the fact that 50% of any lump sum has to be spent on infrastructure, which we don't have anything to spend on until the stadium gets the go ahead?

 

[Sheik Djibouti]

Added to this, there is a qualifying period as well I believe, which could lower the total further.

All well and good, but isn't this just conveniently ignoring the fact that most of the rest of us work for our money, rather than relying on state handouts?

 

[Osleroad]

Yes, thanks. That'll teach me to skim read.

Yes it's just below £12.5k p a. with other benefits accruing if eligible.

Considering the amount of time some spend on here during the day, I'm beginning to doubt that very much!

 

[Manorlounger]

Yes, thanks. That'll teach me to skim read.

On a more serious note, if anyone does not know how the state pension is accrued and calaculated, then they should educate themselves. It is possible to pay additional sums into the system to get the maximum payout upon qualifying. If a person has missed contributions it can affect the final figure.

Nothing wrong with skim reading. It's how I keep up with this forum and it serves me well.

For example, I've just learnt that Danny Mills has been on talkSPORT banging on about the state pension.

Also if you were a carer in receipt of child benefit those years count towards your contributions.

Astonishing how many times the same facts have to be stated. Perhaps if the club came out and explained in more detail it might get understood and recognised better…

 

[Symp59]

the amount being talked on Merseyside is 20%

Yes it said 20% in a article this morning ,saying we paid £400,000 for him originally.

I have no problem with a person being on benefits as long as there situation is genuine!
I worked hard most of my life so had no need to claim benefits.

 

[BicesterU]

Thanks for sharing.

That's not true from Danny though - is it? About getting loans or freebies. A lot of misunderstanding going on about our situation.

Everything Danny Mills has said and done in the last few weeks seems to have had the sole intention of putting pressure on OUFC to sell his son.

If he had a modicum of integrity then he would decline to talk about a club in our position, at which his son is contracted player who happens to be at the centre of a prolonged transfer saga. How can he possibly give a balanced opinion when he has so much skin in the game?

 

[BicesterU]

I think Stan’s dad, Danny isn’t fully aware of the facts concerning the embargo. It’s not just free transfers that aren’t permitted it also means we aren’t allowed to register any new players also!

He either isn't aware of the facts of the embargo, or he is aware and is misrepresenting them to put pressure on the club.

Either option would make him a bit of a c0ck.

It’s a shame that this Mills saga had and is overshadowing our first league 1 game . I will be absolutely delighted if we win against M.K. Dons and a local derby to boot !

 

[samstudd]

Forget the noise we have a match against a care home tommorow. Play like we did versus Ipswich and they won’t be able to handle us!

Thought we were playing MK Don's?

Local yes derby no chance

 

[Royalstandard74]

Hopefully Mills hasn't downed tools, and some of the staff/players have had a word on how important he is to the team.

We have a moral obligation to beat a club that shouldn't even exist.

On par mileage wise to scum and readpot maybe closer so let’s agree to disagree on the local derby view .

The whole derby thing can be very weird though and not necessarily related to distance. The classic example is Brighton and Palace.
