Personally while I don’t see the point in insulting the man, and panicking and saying we need to start ground sharing with other clubs when we still have 8 years of rent to pay and a ground that while not brilliant is still much better than any current alternative (which is why no one proposing it will name where we should go) is ridiculous, I don’t think we have to start defending him and pretending he does it only because it’s goid business.
The man is a slum landlord, was before he saved us (a ridiculous statement as he used us to make money with no interest in the football club, and still does) and with his actions at Grenoble road still is, the place has been unfinished for a decade plus and the non conference facilities are falling into a disgraceful condition, all while we pay an over the top rent and club staff are booted out at 5.30 on the dot as that’s what we pay for.
It makes no difference what you say about the multi millionaire tax exile on here, whether you praise his ‘good business sense’ or call him what he actually is, a slum landlord, but it does matter what those people who actually have to do a deal with him say to him and about him, so the calls for OxVox etc to tell him to shove it and whatever are not helpful.
Basically say what you want about him, it’s no more than he deserves but don’t abuse those who have a more important job than gobbing off on here, Facebook and Twitter for taking a more sensible approach to actual contact with the man, those people have the future of OUFC in there hands so understand what they are doing and give them some support.
On a side note I can’t say I take much pleasure in our future being linked to him being able to build houses anywhere, certainly wouldn’t buy one he built myself, can you imagine the quality? But that’s not really OUFC’s fault, more those officials who have let him get away with murder for years as it’s just good business, even if that good business has actually flouted the laws of this country many times.
