Chairman Support from the Board

[Wallop]

All of the investors have been named on this forum over the last couple of years.

 

[Paul Cannell]

If they haven't changed. How would we know?

All of the investors have been named on this forum over the last couple of years.

Not entirely true.
The shares in OUFC, as in the majority and the 'preference' shares (the real value shares) are all now held by a Singapore limited company - Oxford Investment Holdings PTE.
Whilst the directors of OUFC are named by companies house - Directors - the actual share holders remain concealed by the Singapore restrictions.
There is little doubt that the directors listed are putting money into the club however, there are, or maybe, others in the background who have bought into Tiger's emporium and are happy to be part of the financial backing group.

It really needs someone with a lot more nous to look into the Singapore side of things to know exactly who is involved. (That's if it is even possible to dig any deeper, they have different customs and practices in the eastern markets)

Ok but I do believe the significant investors are well known.

 

[werthersoriginal]

Odd that a load of weird guys from Singapore would be interested in an obscure provincial lower league club. And dont give me nonsense about the Oxford brand. No one has heard of Cambridge United or Harvard United.

 

[Manorlounger]

We'd all like to think so but no-one knows 100%

What is fact is that the directors are very, very wealthy.

I’m confident that the key people are in place and looking to take the club forward and yes they are very, very wealthy!

Why not? Tiger is over the moon that the leading vaccine in the Covid-19 fight is always listed as the Oxford Astrazeneka vaccine.
Oxford is a brand. It is a brand that is very well known throughout the world. Far more so than Cambridge.

Well that’s debatable. And it’s not known for football!!

Oxford is a city known throughout the world and has more appeal than many clubs of a similar size.

But let's not think that these guys grew up with Matt Murphy posters on their bedroom walls and horns on their baseball caps!! They are investing in a club with the potential to be much bigger, in a city known throughout the world, and with the opportunity to get a big chunk of real estate along the way.

indeed. It’s reasonable to be very suspicious, we aren’t exactly sleeping giants but are in an area of very valuable property.

What's to be suspicious about?

Build a modern multipurpose stadium with retail, leisure, hotel and conference facilities, in the right location with decent travel infrastructure and it'll pay for itself in no time. Allow the club to pay a nominal rent with all match day and associate revenue used to fund the club. Then we can be looking at success on and off the pitch with certain potential of being a stable and sustainable Championship club at least.

We all win.

To whom is this nominal rent being paid and by who?

Not saying it will happen but what is the scenario if the money men do not continue to invest in the playing side once their property is obtained or remove themselves from attachment with the club, we have been here before remember.

How much are you expecting to be made from this Match Day and Associated revenue and what % of income from the "Complex" will OUFC receive ?

aaah.. says file too large as a pdf.

Anyway, it was just a list of all 466 shareholders.

Available on companies house website under history of Oxford United filings if it really was of any interest.

As an example, Oxford United football club get a 50 year lease of the stadium with all match day revenue (tickets, food and drink, sponsorship etc) for £1 per season payable to Tiger and co.

Tiger and co. get the income from all other stadium usage (concerts, other sporting events), conferences, retail businesses, hotel and leisure facilities etc. They use this income to cover the cost of the initial investment, put more funding into Oxford United, or buy Mrs Tiger new shoes!

Oxford United football club get sparkly new stadium, potential to significantly increase revenue at a fraction of the costs we currently give to dearest FK. They have long term stability, and still have the opportunity to develop and sell players on for bigger and better profits allowing greater investment of development of the playing squad. If the model works as it has done, we have every opportunity to not only remain sustainable at this level, but potentially grow beyond where we are - and without significant ongoing investment from the board.

Tiger and co. get a big property deal, retail units, office space, hotel, leisue etc, a UK base for other businesses, the opportunity to cover their costs and more, to use the Oxford branding around the world, and have a little train set on the side.

All very simple, but I'm sure the powers that be have a slightly more in depth business model to show in due course!

Very similar the the Kassam story at the outset
