I am guessing this isn't the OUFC supporting window cleaning service who have hoardings in and outside our ground. When you realise, it is quite obvious, the logo is reminiscent of the Bull.
It is nothing whatsoever to do with Oxford. Lance the owner has probably never been to a game in his life |

What were the timescales on ground redevelopment? Wasn't there a condition when we bought the ground?

They ripped a sign down near the club shop, that's probably progress for these Muppets. |

I do wonder if the widely discussed higher than expected asking price Clem has put on the club has anything to do with pre-emption rights. Avoiding the possibility of one of the minority shareholders from being able to buy the club at a more affordable asking price because they've perhaps been squabbling since not getting the shares back? Based on nothing at all but a potential theory.

I assume (rightly or wrong) that the asking price would be high because Clem wants his debt paid off.
Ultimately that’s his (their?) game plan right?
Take ‘admin expenses’ out of the club, so it runs at a loss. Use that money to plug the gaps as ‘director loans’ sell the club and have the ‘director loans’ paid off as part of the purchase.
You effectively turn the clubs money into your own.
I think. Not a business man or accountant

You've just got to employ your mates' businesses in key roles like security, fitness, hospitality etc etc while spending as little as possible on the actual playing staff for say, the decade that you and your secret background mates have owned this club (with, say, a little change of frontman a couple of years ago after the first guy maybe gets a little bit moneygrabby) and I'm sure you could rinse a fuckload of money out of a professional football club...

To be honest if we dont pay then for their kit etc, they are hardly going to bust a gut to repair the hoarding. |

Even if we do pay them, the fact we are trying to negotiate out of the contract they're not going to do anything for us |
