He's already explained his position . Suppose you missed that bit Yes I did miss it- perhaps you could restate it. Also is Oxvox policy to take all statements by Firoz Kassam at face value? Because I'll meet you for a drink in the Priory to explain why that's a bad idea. Deliciously ironic ! Top post !!!!

So, as he's allowed it for yesterday, the bills have now been paid and he's been paid what he was owed?? I'm also guessing it's go go go for the 4th stand for the next 3 seasons then... Would be nice wouldn't it, if the bills have been paid, then does that mean the court case has also been resolved, as it was those payments that it went to arbitration over. If that's sorted and they are obviously talking again over things like the restaurant then maybe it can still go ahead, still some big teams that could fill it this season, like Bristol rovers. Possibly Bolton and sheff, although that may be harder now they are tuesdays, and of course the next two fa cup games

Thnaks for the link. the key paragraph seems to be this bit It doesn't suggest a mature negoatiator ready to work with the club- or indeed anyone - for the long term future of the football club. In fact if you shut your eyes it could be Donald Trump. Nah, Trump just likes vagina's - he isn't one.

You're missing the point. In the clubs OxMail column yesterday, they used the 4th stand issue as a stick to beat Kassam with. There was absolutely no mention of the latest offer. If it wasn't possible for "operational reasons", why did they not say so? That to me looks like a deliberate attempt to paint Kassam in the worst possible light. Yet, OxVox are the ones in the wrong here? I think you're missing the point. OxVox have no business selectively leaking information from their negotiations. Always good to welcome a 'new' member to the forum. I'm sure that we can expect years of balanced, yet passionate, detailed yet interesting posts from 'Ag'. Either that or he is yet another pathetic put-up job to try to make a case by people without the balls to put their own name to their arguments. You choose - me, I'm open-minded, so welcome. Personally, as a member of OxVox I'd like to be kept in touch with what is going on on much as possible, thank'ee very much. I don't want to be told anything confidential that would wreck the negotiation, but everything else? Yes, I'd like to know. I would certainly like to know if Firoz is showing any signs of starting to behave himself. And to the contrary as well. My view is that OxVox are conducting this well and professionally. And that time will bear tha out and that there will be some rather red-faced individuals at the end of it who will rightly be pressed to offer some rather sincere apologies. After which, all will love on positively.

I did ask Stewart on here if he ever fancied joining forces with Darryl, but I suppose with his links to Eastleigh this is the only way he can get involved, both with experience and finance!

I would guess it means that Stewart also considers Oxvox's deal to be the best opportunity for oufc to get the stadium. And for the best of the club. Who was it that said oxvox don't stand a chance as they need a proper business man to do a deal with Kassam . Come on own up

I guess the stadium deal must be getting pretty close as we approach the end of the season.. wasn't that the target for HoT?

I have always thought that owning the Stadium has been a key to the future of OUFC.
I reckon that the Community ownership is a fantastic alternative option (maybe the best option).
It will be very interesting what happens next.... Stewart D clearly was looking at the validity of a business plan if the stadium is purchased. I have a horrible feeling that this doesn't make business sake, but I could be absolutely wrong.
Like others I am looking forward to hearing what is happening and what the plans are.

May has arrived, (No, not err) and there's obviously a lot of work to be done sorting out players contracts, preparing for a Promotion push, admin stuff, signing new players, arranging pre-season friendlies and the overseas tour etc. Don't see how this can be carried out without knowing what budget Mapp will be working with, if indeed he's staying with us, and gawd I hope he is. AOB. And, who is and who isn't getting a pay rise, will DE be Chairman, (Sincerely hope so) will we finally hear the news we have waited for regarding the Grenoble rd Stadium, good, bad or in Kidlington??
It's all gone quiet over there, wherever 'there' is! Which at least means all parties concerned are still talking, no?

I understand that the OxVox AGM is on 25 May. Can someone tell where and at what time? As a member I would like to attend. Hi! 7pm on the 25th May at the Masons Arms in Headington Quarry. It's members only, but people can join on the night (or in advance of course by going to http://www.oxvox.org.uk) The agenda will be sent out in advance. Lots to talk about and after the formal AGM business, we will speak openly about all the events/activities of the last 12 months (including 'stadium'). We hope that as many members as possible can attend and with it being held on an evening, there will be plenty of time for 'questions' (and answers!). There's also a bar and if the funds can run to it, a sausage roll or 2! Any questions about the AGM, please drop us a line, or give me a call! cheers Jem

Just a quick note (& some of you may have seen this released today) the Draft Cherwell Local Plan 2011 - 2031 allows nothing for any sort of recreational facility in the Water Eaton area (or anywhere close by) so I reckon we can all say that the WE option is dead.

It's so confusing to know who we have to blame at the moment!

In these situations I find it best to blame both of them, and the most rational and intelligent way of doing this is by not checking what you write for typos before you post, making it very hard to follow. This allows you to then accuse people of misunderstanding you. For example: Fuxking elses why did he say it wasnt a problsm for ages then say it is kassn has us singing a tube to his dance and Oxvox are the choir boyd.

You want £5 for nothing you must be firoz and I claim my £5 but then as you are firoz youll probably just charge me £10 for no reason and Oxvox will say yeah good idea firoz and eels wont help as he has no money
