A lot has happened in the last 6-8 months.
- Robinson sacked
- Manning appointed
- Stayed up
- Good start to season
- Stadium project steps forward
- Manning leaves
- Buckingham appointed
But when was the last time we heard from the owners?
Bakrie in particular doesn't seem to have spoken or posted about the club for a while. His last post on Instagram, where he has previously been quite 'loud' about the club, was a repost of the official club release on the stadium details being released. His last post of his own was 27th August after the Charlton game.
Thohir we know is now the Head of the Indonesian FA and as such has disappeared from the list of the directors on the website (see below). I assume this represents him stepping back from as much regular involvement but ultimately remains joint-owner.
Never really hear anything much of/from Geicke other than photos when he has attended a game. Tiger of course has taken a big step back, but is still on the board of directors.
Finance Director Tim Davies has apparently left and again is no longer listed on the website.
Grant Ferguson as chairman seems to have more of a presence in recent months, with a few interviews given with the Oxford Mail and BBC Oxford. Whilst we know Tim Williams is ultimately the day to day 'boots on the ground' individual.
This isn't a criticism or some conspiracy theory, it's more an open question of how often do we think we should hear from the actual owners (rather than the chairman/CEO)?
Given the advances in the stadium project (and the management scenarios) , I'd have thought we might have heard from the owners, but perhaps they're waiting for the stadium planning application to be submitted?
