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 can only presume its a journo thing, make things up and say what you want as they think they are untouchable, I wonder if he worked for the sun..

Well that was a wasted 3/4 hour wading through waffling ego trips. Any updates on the takeover yet?

Takeovers are terrifying. Might work, might not. We might get another malevolent dictator like Eales or we might get another charming chap like Kassam.
I'm scared. Someone hold me and tell me it's going to be okay.

Has anyone done any due diligence on the origin of Thanakarnjanasuth's wealth? I don’t think he has that much, which it what makes the rumours about the owner of carabao more interesting, he’s on the richest Thai list with around $800m I think it was. That’s why I’m guessing tiger will be no more than a front man. He wasn’t the one with the money in reading the other guy put up half, and tiger and the woman 1/4 each. The other 2 are still share holders in reading

I guess as journalists they want to make sure they get names and facts right about the people involved so there is a bit more investigation involved than just posting Oxbible's rumours. Interesting points raised on their motives earlier in this thread. I doubt Kassam will sell the stadium unless the price is too good, purely because it sits in the middle of all of his other investments and hotels at Grenoble Road. So are they perhaps doing this as a potential flip? So Eales bought a mid-table L2 club and has turned it into a potentially play-off challenging L1 club - Charlie seems fairly convinced our signings (and presumably January to come) give us a top six budget. It wouldn't take much more (but perhaps more than Eales has) from a new owner to give us a top three budget. And then once in the Championship, flip the club onto someone with significant wealth to challenge for the Premier League?

Observations
I heard that Lenagan radio interview as well and thought aye aye what’s up here?
The way old Eric Pollard was going on about new owners I’d have sworn he was up for some introductory commission.
Reckon there are a lot of legs to this rumour though. OUFC is quite investable . You would make a turn on your money now if we got to Championship in next 2 years.
As a long term investment well hmm it all revolves around our landlord as per . Finally, Mr Methven should seriously watch out that London Roader doesn’t invoke the spirit of Ben Stokes on him soon.
COYY

Everybody is talking of a takeover but could it not be extra investment along side Eales? He has talked of extra investment being welcomed without him selling the club.

Quite possible, but I’d guess with the sums involved to take us up another level or two that it would be investment along side Daryl with him being the smaller stakeholder.

COYY Mmm. Until the ground issue is resolved, how investible is the club? At that stage we would need the forth stand but as we know FK likes to make as difficult as possible for the club. So the ground is the elephant in the room and until that is resolved then it will be a huge issue for any potential owner. Unless of course any new owner is prepared to pay over the odds.

If someone continuously insults me online whilst trolling under a pseudonym, then they should be ready both to be insulted back and have their real name revealed. Only a crass bully would expect otherwise. Anyhow, on the substance of what you say, I reckon that the rest of what you say (all of it) is spot on.

Whatever will be will be, sure most on here remember how angry we all were when Darryl's bid was accepted and Charlie's wasn't, and I think now the vast majority can accept Darryl has done fabulous things for this club, whatever your opinion on the last 6 months or so is.
So I for one will be a bit more reserved this time and just see what happens

I don't actually remember anyone being 'angry' over either Mr Eales' bid being accepted or Mr Methven's being rejected. There was a feeling of uncertainty amongst some along the lines of 'who was Mr Eales and what does he want with OUFC?' but nothing more than indifference over the unsuccessful bid.

I was under the impression that many supporters were actually quite excited by the developments. Not all of us were so quick to jump down the throats of Ashton/Eales just because they weren't Charlie.

It has simple aims: to raise money for the Oxford United Youth and Community Trust (youth and women’s team), support the club where required, improve the match-day experience and bring the club, supporters and wider Oxfordshire community closer together.
