The absence of programme notes, Oxford Fail comments or Radox interviews from DE does make me wonder whether something is afoot. Am I right in thinking there is no replacement for GBT in place yet either, Also that the club has cashed in most of it's sellable players, hasn't really splashed out on new players who might have a transfer value, and recruited a young relatively inexperienced manager. Could be giving a new owner effectively a clean slate to make their own stamp on the club. The club didn't cash in though, those players forced moves through financial demands. We also had offers for other players and surprisingly they were not sold. I'm not sure the players dropping down will be a cheap option and how do you deem Peps arrival doing it cheap? It looks from outside the club have backed Pep with the numerous players coming in, though we are missing a consistent goalscorer up top that might depend on how Pep wants to set up his system.

So does anyone know anything else on this subject? I also have a feeling somethings going on behind the scenes at the moment. Just wondering if any ITKs have anymore gossip to spill...

Talks are definitely happening so I've been told. If talks are happening then let's hope they are concluded pretty rapidly. i can't say the thought of Thai owners fills me with any excitement though. Would prefer Charlie Methven and his consortium every day of the week if the club " is in play " re: a change of ownership to any Carabao deal! Does anybody think this is a deal in the best interests of the club? Really?

Would prefer Charlie Methven and his consortium every day of the week if the club " is in play " re: a change of ownership to any Carabao deal! Does anybody think this is a deal in the best interests of the club? Please god no to the local consortium and I'd quite happily not have the JS interest again. Saying that, those 2 are pretty much the same thing though... Ah, Wiggy, are you afraid that you wouldn't have an owner to hero worship anymore? No more free drinks? I'm sure a can of Carabao could buy you off for even longer. I was involved with getting Stewart Donald to bid first time around and peripherally involved with getting Sartori to bid last time (by introducing him to Stewart). So presumably what you are really against is the Donald family involvement, as that is the only financial connection between the bids (I certainly don't have the money to buy a football club) Or do you have something against Juan Sartori? Hard to think what, but your little pea brain might have had a little nightmare or something. Probably about not getting free food and drink. Of course, of Juan had bought the club it might have been free spliffs all round. Ah! Perhaps that's it. You're a Daily Mail reader and virtuously and viciously against legalisation of dope. It all adds up now. Small-minded fear of foreigners, lack of factual basis for your opinions, online trolling under pseudonyms of people you disagree with. Given the above, I don't know how you're going to deal with Thais who say they 'don't understand football but do understand property development.' But I guess if they come under the heading of 'anyone but the Donalds' then you'll be happy enough with the can of Koolade. Sorry - Carabao.

I'm not sure where you get this thing about me treating Eales like a hero. Yes he is the best owner we have had for god knows how long and the club is in the best shape I've known. He does has his flaws though and the man himself will admit that himself. I've never had a free drink or hot dog from our owner either. I tend not to buy into that, it's good PR for himself but it can back fire sometimes. I have no problem with Stewart either, he is a committed fan who we are lucky to have where by he is willing to help the club if needed. I also have no problem with your mate Satori. I do have a problem with certain individuals behind that bid and their intentions though. I would have a problem if you were ever involved in the running of the club due to your arrogance and your ability or lack of to cope with people who disagree with you. When challenged your first stance is to resort to personal abuse and belittling people. Not a good trait to have when in a high position at a football club when emotions amongst fans can run high. As for how you describe me you could not be further from the truth. Maybe one day we should have a beer at a match and thrash our opinions on everything OUFC.

I seem to recall DE saying that Sartori didn't actually make a bid which was why he (DE) told him to do one. So either DE is lying or you are bullshitting (again).

Iambungle I don't really think that was necessary. It's fairly clear that the Sartori interest / bid was very advanced, but apparently didn't reach the final hurdle. So no need to accuse people of lying / bullshitting.

Heard from a good source (someone that has close links with the club, but isn't a 'supporter') that this is close to happening. What he said to me was that a deal to sell the club to the Thai owners of Carabao is very close to happening. Could be announced in the next few days. But then again, I was told that the Sartori deal was completed (albeit by a different source) so I won't make any bets just yet! Could the person looking to buy us be Mr Sathien Setthasit? Seems as though he’s the owner of the company.

Why would they buy the club and leave Eales with 20%? Why would the increasingly uninterested Eales want that rather than fully cashing out now? Not sure what he brings to the table that warrants him staying on, it was Ashton and Appleton who changed the football side of the club, with admittedly his finances, but if he isn't providing the money then he is as much use as Lenenghan was when he stayed on.

From his point of view he probably gets nearly all of his money back now, and the chance to sell his 20% once the new owners get us to the champ . From their point, maybe that’s all he was willing to give away.

Would someone buy the club without the ground situation being resolved? Depends how much money they have. If they are seriously loaded, it's pocket money to them. If it's the guy that has been mentioned, he is worth $850m - the 31st richest person in Thailand.

So no need to accuse people of lying / bullshitting. This is all very old ground. A bid was made. It was, in the end, turned down. Stewart and Juan were both quite clear on that point. So it's not a matter of whether you believe me. It's whether you believe them, as they were the central parties.

You brighten up my days just when I need it. Juan Sartori is one of (in fact probably the) largest producers of cannabis in the world. Large -scale industrial production of cannabis was legalised in Uruguay a while ago. Juan acquired the first licence, IPOd the International Cannabis Corporation in Canada where cannabis is also legal and this was all heavily publicised. Sometimes I really wish that my whole life could be framed within the boundaries of Oxfordshire. It'd all be so simple. Cannabis equals drugs equals bad. Paul Dacre would be so proud.
