I think I read before Pep has someone managing his Twitter account for him. Can anyone confirm this is correct? I like the idea of him being to able to voice his opinion but at the same time worry about some of the idiots we have messaging him, as seen last night. His management company run his and monks apparently, although he does post on it as well

Impressed again with the openness from all concerned. My general feeling is that the club is in good hands. The owner and management seem to have a clear strategy going forward on what is best for the club and there are obviously external difficulties that need to be overcome. There are always going to be differences of opinion - we all have an emotional attachment to the club - but we really all do need to stick together, give all the new guys a chance to bed in and recognise the hard work that is being done. Even though it is hard after nights like last night.
Pep gave some impressive answers, I like him and I'm happy to give him plenty of time to stamp his mark on things, but the guy who really stood out for me was DF. I think we might underestimate the influence he has around the club. I really liked his answers, particulately relating to the handling of the younger players e.g. Roberts

And you are right that this willingness to engage is something broadly to welcome. You mentioned that one of the things to come out of the meeting was that there is a clear strategy for the club. As that didn't really come up in the quotes that oufcyellows gave, can you give us a flavour? I think that clearing up what the plan is on the stadium and associated revenue streams would be a big step forward. On Faz, you are right. A very impressive man. The club is lucky to have him. On PC, he seems like a really good guy and he is going to need our support. This is a competitive league, with similar sized clubs and decent managers, so success would never be a given. PC will understand, as an intelligent man, that in the end he will be judged by results and performances. But we do of course have a part to play in giving him every chance of achieving success. One piece of advice I would give him. Appleton gained a lot of our support - exasperated though I was by his tactical inflexibility in his first months - by refusing to accept anything other than total commitment from his players. If they failed in that, they were binned off, pronto. Even as he was failing, his passion and determination were clear. From punching a hole in the dug-out at Mansfield to m9nstering his whole squad after Cambridge. I'd like to think that PC won't be tolerating too much nonsense like last night. Losing culture is a habit. Wilder broke the worst of it at oufc and Appleton the rest. We never again want to go back to the days when people are well-paid to put on the yellow shirt and then thumb their nose at what it means.

No specifics on the stadium front but from what was said there's still a lot going on behind the scenes to solve the on going stadium issues. DE spoke of Oxfordshire being one of the most political counties he's come across. He said if you want to get things done you have to go through several councils. I can't remember if this was in reference to the stadium or the training ground issues but he did say that relocation was still being considered as an alternative re:stadium i know now you've been a leading advocate in WE and put in a heck of a lot of work on it. I have to say I agree with you, it's frustrating as an ideal location might have now got away from us but it seems things are still happening to get things resolved last night was never going to be a PowerPoint presentation on strategies going forward but I feel we do have good people with a genuine love of the club working hard to take us to the next level, learning lessons as they go.

Ah the written word, I suppose we could go back to the shouting match in the street, where you run your mouth without due thought to what's being said and let the emotion take you over. There are far more critical social media platform than this forum, it has it's day but is fairly balanced and most peeps get along to agree to disagree, we are all Oxford United supporters no matter what views we have.

Couldn't make it to the Q&A as I was away with work so hopefully someone in attendance might be able to flesh out the answers on a couple of points as you can never get the full story from quick online updates (but they were much appreciated OUFCYellow!).
From what I can gather the business plan moving forwards for the club is very much back to what it was at the start. Invest in players that can be traded and bring in revenue to balance the books, while in the meantime hopefully adding quality to the squad so we can challenge for promotion. Darryl also seems to have said that he's now keen to work back OxVox on seeking a stadium solution but in terms of the club's outlook he said: "There's not much to be negative about ."
Well that's a complete turnaround form earlier this year when it was said in public statements that it was vital we had a heads of terms on the stadium by May or he couldn't rule anything out as the club was in an "unsustainable" position. So what has changed from when these messages were sent out between December and March? How are we now sustainable? Was this addressed at the forum?
As I couldn't attend I did submit a question to OxVox that was passed on my behalf but i'm not sure if it was asked. As in the past OxVox has asked questions on behalf of members. In a nutshell my questions was about debt levels. We now have £12M+ of debt and it seems that £4m was purchased from WPL (my own view on this is to question how it's in the club's interest to purchase debt that had been written of by WPL). So Why was the debt ported? It's OK saying it's soft debt but heaven forbid if anything happened to Darryl (in health or financial terms) then we would owe £12m.
In his own programme notes in January for the Scunthorpe match Darryl spelled out this level of investment, which stated:
* To date, I have invested over £8m in the club, including the purchase from Ian Lenagan. * Net transfer fees received (including all future payments are received!) including the sale of Roofe and O'Dowda and the purchases of MacDonald, Dunkley, Hemmings, Johnson, Ledson and Nelson are £1.3m
So that would reduce the debt to £6.7m (not including additional sales of Lunny, Sercombe and Appleton compensation). So how and why is our debt at £12m? By my count from those figures the debt should be £6.7m and even if you accept the £4m of purchased debt that still takes it to £10.7m so how is our debt in the accounts showing circa £12m?
A follow up to that question was on the back of a profitable season last season and what looks set to be a very profitable season this year (due to player sales and add ons from Roofe/O'dowda and Appleton compensation) has this profit not gone to reduce the debt? So the question was is the profit being used to repay this debt and if not why not? Darryl has also mentioned directors fees being paid and my questions was what do these amount to? Effectively the whole question was centred around seeking an explanation about why the debt is so high and how is this planned to be reduced ? Was this asked and if so can anyone reveal what was said?
These questions may well have been asked and answered but it wasn't altogether clear from what i've read so far so any update would be appreciated.

DE said he'd invested over £8m in OUFC. There's also been considerable investment on CPF for instance. I'm no expert on these things but could investment like this be seen as over and above the cost of running Oxford United?
I know it's a matter of interpretation how things are worded but could the debt be with the club even if the money isn't actually invested directly?

So MS makes one of the best points, and raises one of the most important questions that impacts the future of our football club, and the replies are "Does it matter" and "Very very tiresome".
Well, if you want your football to exist in 20 years time then yes, it does matter. There's plenty of examples of football clubs liquidating over unpaid debts and owners pulling out, that could be us one day, there's no guarantees in this industry. Asking the questions now, rather than when it's too late, is vital.

Agree - this is what frustrates me about a few people on here. There was a forum agreed, Oxvox would have been happy to take a members question and ask it if that person was not able to attend; even an email would have been ok. DE has also said he is happy to take any question in person.
But no, it was not raised. Then despite the question being possibly valid, it's dragged up on here when there was a very opportunity for it to be asked.
Some people must think users on this forums are thick as and can't see all the pathetic spin and manoeuvring going on in the background by a little sorry band.
It's so sad, it's actually pretty funny.

For clarity I sent it in the week before to a member of the committee. To oxvox's credit it was actually posed to Darryl ahead of the meeting and he's responded and I believe the answer will be published to members soon. So greatful to oxvox for asking the question as due work work commitments I couldn't make it.
What i stand by are these are questions that matter to me I feel they are important but that's not to say everyone will. I'd have no problem asking Darryl Anthing to his face as I did for over a year when I was chairman during his tenure. As for suggestions oxvox didn't ask questions of wpl that's comical as the meeting notes show we asked every question sent in be it as forums or oxvox meetings. I think the Lenagan's would be the first to say I asked difficult questions all the time be it financial or them actually printing my comments saying we didn't support season ticket price rises!! I have also never accepted an offer from WPL of Darryl to sit in the directors box.
But that's all by the by. Looking forward to being able to comment on the reply and great work by oxvox to get it answered so thank you.
