Well now we know. The club is not for sale and the stadium situation has not changed. At no time has Mr Eales indicated that he wanted to sell the club and the interference by certain people put the club and the manager in a difficult position at a critical time. The fact that Oxvox have now decided to obtain a mandate from its membership (which they should have done before interfering in Mr Eales business) just goes to show that they are out of their depth.
Let's get behind our owner and give support to a man who has proven that he has the club at heart. Let's see the supporters trust move away from being the friend of Kassam and start to lobby to get this man out of our lives.
There's only one man who has taken us on a journey, there's only one man who is seen as the custodian of our club and that is Mr Eales, back him don't berate him. It's time to show Kassam he's not wanted so start by walking away from any dialogue.

I don't normally reply to your drivel, "zach" but this is bloody offensive.
How dare you suggest that I (as a member of the OxVox committee) do not have the club's best interests at heart! How dare you suggest that I'm "out of my depth"!
You bottled out of meeting Jem Faulkner when he offered to meet you and up you pop having another dig at OxVox. Put up or shut up, or better still get up off of your arse and actually do something rather than criticise those that are from behind your keyboard.

Zach, I don't know who works your strings, but they've got to do better than that!
OxVox are 'the friend of Kassam'? Absolute drivel.
Eales is so desperate not to sell the club that the deal with Sartori got all the way to due diligence?
OUFC might be 'Mr Eales business' - but it is OUR CLUB.
I'm trying to work out which past troll you are a reincarnation of - give us a clue.

Quick question Zach, which you won't answer because you never do. If the club was never for sale, how was it a critical time?

It's time to show Kassam he's not wanted so start by walking away from any dialogue. This forum has a natural tendency to divide itself on any issue you care to mention, but it will be interesting to see if a single poster 'likes' Zach's latest report, or even replies in support. The opening post is a mix of 'no shit Sherlock' obvious points, rather more fabricated inaccuracies and bitter knocks of a fans' organisation with 900 members, who are all diehard OUFC fans. We all know you like the sound of your own voice Zach (or, as everyone now f*cking knows, Malcolm Baker MBE and YouTube star) but it would be nice if you occasionally lent it to a worthwhile cause. www.youtube.com/watch?v=amSWIc2mxQkPS I'm predicting a reference by Malcolm to 'the usual suspects' fairly soon, by which he means people who won't take his divisive crap lying down.

Colin and I often don't see eye-to-eye, but I'd back this 100%. Zach's dig at OxVox is not only unwarranted, but includes provable lies to back up their ridiculous position. Do I have to dust of the "Hot Fuzz" analogy again....

In previous posts you claim they are acting above their station against the wishes of the fans. Are the voices in your head starting to disagree with each other? You also want to get Kassam out of our lives by ignoring him? Genius plan, why didn't the idiots at OxVox think of that before. The only thing of interest about your sporadic rants is trying to work out what your motivation is, but I suspect that will be added to the long list of unanswered questions with your name on them.

It's time to show Kassam he's not wanted so start by walking away from any dialogue. Do you realise how stupid that statement is? OxVox have got us as close to getting the stadium into community/club ownership as anyone since it was built. Now you want them to change their method (which is working much better than anything DE has managed - kudos to him for trying though) and start lobbying to get FK "out of our lives". Rather than an empty soundbite, how do you suggest they should deal with FK? Perhaps you can try an alternative tack and see how that works and leave OxVox to continue with what they are trying. Most fans are "behind" DE and what he and MApp have achieved over the past 3 season. Most fans are also "behind" what OxVox are trying to do. Those two positions aren't mutually exclusive.

Zach - You state at no time has Mr Eales said he wanted to sell the club. You also state certain people have interfered unsettling the club. As i introduced Juan you clearly mean me. I do not want to get drawn into this really but I will not have my integrity questioned when I have only introduced Juan because of a desire to help the club and its owner. I believed the club was for sale either in part or whole - I will not expand on why as it is not my place to do so - however if you continue to question my integrity I may have to and I would prefer not to be put in that position but I re-iterate I will not have my integrity questioned in this way. I have always tried to act in OUFC's best interest in anything I have done as I know Jem and Oxvox have. I also don't believe they have done anything without the knowledge of the club.
Oxvox I am sure will make a statement on the ground at some point and DE has said the club have turned down the approach from Juan so that will conclude things so perhaps lets just wait for that rather than keep speculating.
Sometimes you can try to help and make things worse despite best intentions and I will accept that trying to help here on the ground and with Juan looks like a mistake in hindsight bearing in mind how it appears now - however i did this with more information on the situation than you clearly have and if you had been in my situation I am certain you would have done the same as it was not as you describe Can we just leave it there Zach?

Stewart, Darryl reached out for financial support which I guess Juan Satori could have been or going a step further a potential owner depending on Darryl's position, so I think it was great that you and possibly Charlie put the two in touch with one another, so I believe you did the correct thing, that's unless I'm missing something? The bit that does concern me in your comment, is why you now think that this was possibly a mistake? I for one can not see what you think the mistake is, so can you enlighten me/us?

Only because it seems to of added so much speculation and questioning of the club and Darryl which was not the aim. It's that time of year! I think you could count on one hand the people on here that don't appreciate your involvement in the club. There clearly was an opportunity there (one for some reason I still think exists, not that I have a shred of evidence to back it up) and you put people in touch. You obviously knew the situation better than most of us speculators and given how long it took to come back with a definitive no it clearly wasn't an unwelcome introduction. Absolutely DE's right to turn it down, no harm done and hopefully we find out more as time passes. Thanks again from the rest of us. Zach, i'd like to personally congratulate you on pissing off not only the people at OxVox who are working for nothing for the benefit of the club but also a long term, loyal supporter who has backed that up with not inconsiderable financial support over many years, and all in one day. You must be very pleased with your work. Are you popping round to nobble Eastwood and Johnson later before setting fire to Appleton's office?

Secondly, I'm sure Darryl doesn't see it that way, and if he did why have discussions with Juan for 3 months. Personally I don't believe you've done anything wrong or made any mistakes, especially as we all know you've only ever wanted what's best for Oxford United Football Club. Thank you for all that you do, it's appreciated by the majority of us.

I would say the people at Oxvox and the likes of Stew Donald must wonder why they bother after all there's a big line of waiting volunteers and individuals prepared to pump Large chunks of money into the football club they could just step aside.
Over to you Zach and once the last mans left turn the lights out.

Excuse my lack of knowledge on club ownership, but are you yourself Mr. Donald able to be the investor that eales seems to need? Alternatively, would Mr. Sartori consider making a higher offer for the club? It seems a huge opportunity has gone begging for our club, just as e goalposts are moved on he alleged top 6 budget? Please ask him nicely for us.

One of the key problems here is the need to reunite control of the ground with the club. It's well known that Firoz Kassam won't do any deal on the ground while Darryl Eales owns the club or is involved with it. So to attack Stewart and OxVox for reaching out to try and come to a beneficial deal for Darryl, the club and Firoz is madness.
