I'm not taking anything personally!! I'm just saying that the Thai group at Reading absolutely SHOULD be tarred with the same brush as Tan, Kassam and Alam. What more do you want to know before tarring Tiger and his chums with that brush? Doesn't have anything to do with OUFC, or with the future intentions of Tiger, Tan and Alam. We should be able to make an objective judgement on all these people without knowing anything about their future investments. If Firoz popped up again tomorrow with an "involvement " in OUFC, I'd bet that we would "wait and see" before tarring him with the brush! No, we wouldn't. If it was Kassam plus a new party, which had no previous with us (or anyone like us), I might at least listen to what they had to say, despite my distrust of Kassam. Many, tarred DE with the same brush as Ashton's. His 'devil incarnate' tag from his Watford days was lauded with gay abandon as the reason that we shouldn't trust the 'Brummie Mafia'. Yet it was Ashton who did the best work and set us on course for two spectacular years. We should be wary. We should be cynical. We should also be prepared to be convinced, should any potential offer appear to be logical and with mitigated risk to OUFC. Exactly this. De was slaughtered on here before joining as an asset stripping devil. Worse was said of Ashton, with campaigns to “back the methven bid” so stop them gaining control. Tiger taking over the club, or fronting the takeover from some very rich people from his country are two totally different things. And the point people I think are missing is that would Darryl sell to them if he didn’t think them suitable, even more so when he’s retaining 20% himself

They did because they couldn't afford to take it on as it was too much money - they had the cash to maintain not to take on. The article posted yesterday made it clear they found it more expensive than they thought when they got involcved. Why would he not invest more in Reading, who are setup for a premier league tilt, or us, who are years away? As I understand it from local friends who support Reading, the three Thais didn't have the cash to do anything. They just asset-stripped both the stadium itself and the adjacent development which had been granted to reading fc to help with long-term revenues and used that cash to pay for running the club in the short term. Once they had completed both of those manoeuvres they were out of there pronto. Whilst it's vaguely amusing to watch one of our rivals get comprehensively stitched up, it was a disastrous ownership. Fortunately for Reading, their new Chinese owners have had the financial wherewithal to buy the stadium back, because the club was having to pay 1 million plus a year to carry on playing in it. It's all a bit eery, given our recent history! Agree. That's similar to what I heard. An ex-colleague of mine said the Thais got very lucky appointing Stam as manager because without him, they were on for going down. The club and playing staff was a shambles. They also blamed Madjeski for trying to sell to anyone with a pulse without doing the due diligence causing the middle term instability in the first place. It's the reason I would be concerned if anyone that has been associated with Reading to took over the club. Do we need yet more "soft debt" and no progress on stadium?

I have to repeat that I am not bringing this up because I believe that this guy is taking over the club. I have absolutely no idea whatsoever. You seem to have information that he is "fronting" something that is happening. Do you want to elucidate on this? And why would someone who until recently owned 25% of a Championship club be "fronting" anybody for a smaller club one league lower? If he wanted to "front" something, why did he not just bring in these backers to Reading? Especially given that the people you seem to be suggesting are already involved in that club? And given how critical you have been of others who have tried to put money into the club, why are you so "pro" this bizarre rumoured takeover? And where is all this detail coming from - you're normally very, very "hot" on anyone who publishes rumour as fact. The poster before says "we should be wary; we should be cynical; but we should also be prepared to be convinced"... but you seem to be convinced already. Convinced that it is happening, and convinced that it is good news. Why? If Tiger's so great, then why on earth would he flog a club's stadium, and pocket same club's associated development?

There was an interview on Radio Oxford with Ian Lenagan before a home fixture about a month ago. I think it may have been Gillingham, but can't say for sure. It was to do with the new EFL television and streaming deal etc. Either way, towards the end of the interview, Jerome asked several questions about investment in the club. He was asking IL about the potential he felt Oxford had, if he thought it could ever attract truly substantial investment etc. This then began a segment of several minutes where it was basically IL raving about Oxford, both the city and the club, the world famous status, the catchment area and so forth. I remember listening to it at the time and going "What's this about? Why has this taken up a good chunk of this interview regarding television rights?"
Was it being spoken about ahead of a deal? Was it a way of putting the club in the shop window, having the EFL chairman rave about its potential on the radio? Was it just a total coincidence that had absolutely nothing to do with anything beyond a bit of positive sounding chit chat? No idea, but it was literally a matter of days before this Thai connection started to really blossom, and they then started to appear at multiple games home and away.

We have a much bigger squad than last season, and it is highly unlikely that that has come with a budget cut. On the rest of it, you are playing games. And tiresome games at that. You're claiming that you are simply speculating that he might be fronting something because he knows Carabao from Reading. Eh? What a strange conclusion to draw. If DE turns up at anoher club, would one automatically assume that he is fronting a bid for Lion's Trust? Very, very strange.

I got told by someone who should know yesterday that the deal with Eales keeping his 20% but selling the rest to fizzy drink Thai bloke is definitely happening and should be finalised shortly, the fella who told me only ever lets me have gossip when it's nearly all sorted out normally. well now everyone know I’m OxBible I guess I’ll just admit it. Yes exactly what I heard a few days ago. Happening this week hopefully

Jerome was asked about this again last night and he said that the answer continually comes back 'that nothing has changed, the club is not for sale' when the club is asked what is going on..
So a takeover will probably be announced tomorrow 😉

Front men and investors, two different groups altogether. My understanding is that 'Tiger' was/is pretty popular with Reading fans. The other Thai investors, not so much. As pointed out above, there are no more assets, bar a couple of players. Anyone investing in us now is doing so for other reasons. If Carabao are the money behind it, a move to rival the positive links that Red Bull (their main competitor) have made in sport etc. could be the reason for their interest. Oxford, as a city and brand, is attractive; it comes with many positive associations for a global audience and a football club could serve as the ultimate representation of those associations. Lots of ifs and buts, however, I think we should wait and see what happens before we sentence anyone. Well, that's just not true, is it? We can pronounce judgement on a stewardship of another club without knowing anything about whether they are involved with OUFC or not (as I have posted elsewhere, we have no evidence to suggest that this Tiger is involved with OUFC). Tan at Cardiff behaved like a total nightmare. There, see. I have "sentenced" someone without "waiting and seeing". Alam's idea of changing Hull City's name was bonkers. Again, I have sentenced someone without waiting and seeing. And I would say that asset-stripping a stadium from its club, and making that club pay over a million quid's interest/ rent a year to play in something that it owned before you took over is really crappy, risky and un-strategic. Surely we don't need to "wait and see" before condemning that. It's actually worse than what Kassam did. At least he actually paid money to build Grenoble Road, and took on the risk of the whole bankrupted OUFC that was in the shit before he came in. These guys inherited a club that was in the happy situation of owning its own excellent stadium and had been granted extensive planning on their equivalent of the overflow car-park. They then whinged that they couldn't afford to run it properly whilst quietly pocketing £25 million plus from siphoning off its assets. I'm sorry, but that is crappy, however long you want to 'wait and see'. Again, and to repeat, there is no evidence anywhere that Tiger is taking over. All that I have seen is a picture of David Jones with his arm around the guy. There are are any number of reasons why that might be the case. I was just reacting to the idea, posited earlier in this thread, that it would be great if he poured all his millions into OUFC. If that really WERE to be the case then we would be better off going the whole hog and just asking FK to come back. But I guess we'd better wait and see before we sentence Firoz to any criticism. I do not believe that Charlie has any knowledge or influence in regards to this. He comes on here trying to enhance his little ego whilst making comments claiming he has some ITK info which is complete nonesense as usual. Now as I already said I hope that DE can keep things going and maybe if we could get some fuether investment (over to Charlie and his consortium) then that would be great for the club moving forward. But lets leave the pontification and just rely on stone cold facts for now!

So ur ok if I post a photo of ur private message offering to fill me in on details I’m missing. Which I’m assuming since I didn’t get a reply when I told u I wouldn’t be posting the info on here, u either forgot to write back, or in fact didn’t get the Responce U were hoping for. No doubt I will have completely taken that the wrong way being the mere thicko I am. And U can explain what u really meant I’m not questioning ur character Charles, deep down u want the exact same as the rest of us. Just with maybe a slight urge to be involved more than the rest of us. Ur main issue is u come out and attack people u don’t agree with, yet again u haven’t responded to any of the points U accused me of which I corrected, u state people have said things which isn’t what they are saying at all. But above all I’ve never been abusive to u, as myself and others have received, and if we wanna talk about being close to defamation U should remember ur compared my situation to a paedophile talking to my niece !

Anyone else noticing these tiresome and rather insulting references to 'Thick Mick' that Charlie keeps making? Seems to be referring to Londonroader, who I would say is a respected and popular poster on here.
Charlie won't give a f*ck what I think, but needed saying, in my opinion.
PS I've never met Londonroader and I'm not his stooge.

Having read a number of these threads that turn into a bit of a battle between Charlie and others I'm pleased his attempts at running the club as part of a group have failed.
I'd have thought someone with those ambitions would show more respect than others.
Who's right and who's wrong I don't know. What I do know is I'd never trust a man who wears red corduroy trousers.

Good one, it wasn’t me that said it was carabao that we’re buying Oufc though was it? And u would agree that their owners would know tiger from their sponsor of reading? And tiger has been to recent Oufc games? As far as I’ve read no one has said it’s tigers group buying Oufc? Yeah what a strange f*cking conclusion I have made there. You do regularly back de, u also regularly through others question him and his reasoning. Your not silly u wouldn’t come out and say it directly and get ur own hands dirty would u 😉. That is close to defamation, frankly, and absolutely untrue. If I have any questioning of DE's reasoning (as you put it), I do it openly, either to his face or - if appropriate - on here. But I hope that, unlike some, I do so in a reasonable and decent tone, unlike those who spent the summer questioning his morals on this forum, usually from behind cowardly 'handles'. Posting one's own views under one's own name is something that both I, and those you claim that I am in cahoots with, do because we are all willing to stand behind what we say. Whereas you and your little gang don't have the balls to stand behind what you say, even while you are trolling those who do. By the way, it is deeply, and unintentionally, hilarious that you claim that I use other people as stooges in a post liked by Thick Mick. So you post in a reasonable and decent tone and then go on and refer to another poster as thick Mick. You really don't see how arrogant you are do you? As for this supposed take over bid then who knows what might happen, a bit like people didn't know what to expect if JS took over. Some fans will be excited about money men coming in and some would be more cautious. I would go with trending on the side of caution. I am not surprised that you have come out and tried to say how bad it would be if they took over without knowing any facts. Saying that you wouldn't be happy with anyone unless it was one of your mates.

I wonder if Darryl will pen any programme notes this Saturday versus AFC Wimbledon.

Chaz suggests 'defamation'in his post, but fairly certain calling someone 'thick Mick'has similar implications?
