It's a complete tangent but imagine being the guy that thousands of people hate just for a few extra million in a fortune running into hundreds of millions. I think I'd cut my losses. His daughter used to work for Deloitte in the same building as me and I remember wondering if she ever transferred to my department how it might impact her career prospects working for me 😜 He may be a figure of hate but he appears to be able to rise above that and count the £50 notes piling up at a very rapid rate (much faster than the £300k per annum net profit quoted elswhere).

Kassam owns the stadium and the land. Nobody buys the stadium, Kassam doesn't do any repairs, or build a 4th stand,the stadium deteriorates further in the next 8 years, which leaves a stadium not worth purchasing. The stadium is found not fit for purpose or unsafe for use, Kassam sells the stadium area to ? ( a subsidiary? ). They build a, lets just say, a lawn bowls area, that covers the leisure part ( sale of alcohol !). Now, let's build some flats, houses, or anything I like. Owns the land??? I was told the stad is on council owned land. You were told wrong.

As I understand it we have to pay the rent for 8 more years. We can move but would still owe the rent. Kassam cant evict us during this time. It was a 20+year deal to protect us and kassam to ensure we had a home of sorts and he had a tennant. What happens at the end of that lease I dunno. You would hope we would have more bargaining power. But I am a bit concerened that Firoz seems quite happy for it to run down.

Your aim is to be in control of the stadium and all revenue streams by the start of next season.... this message will self district in 5 seconds Haha. Sadly that was 12 years ago. So many thoughts crossed my mind as that was at the time things were coming to a head with the ogb. It may have been career limiting but boy I was tempted to pull some tricks!

Should have just asked her what she thought of her Dad and his relationship with thousands of people, mainly Oxford fans.
