we know that part of the new consortium is mike diamandes and james wills.
a couple of years ago firoz kassam was well inside the top 100 rich men involved in football, and look where oxford are now. money doesn't mean a thing if it's not being invested correctly (or at all, in that case).

Do we? How's that then? Your point about Kassam is a good one though. I bloody hope he isn't part of things! And of course money can be invested poorly. I will reserve judgement on this new consortium until i know who is involved, how much they are willing to invest and what their plans are for the club. Until then i will not jump to any conclusions about them points. |

although, yes, that could be down to interpretation.
can i just say at this point that the new official site is a total cunt to navigate?
cheers.

How do you work out its James and not Sir Seaton or both from that article: The club said the consortium included long-time owner the Wills family, their advisor and club general manager Mike Diamandis, and a new investor. |
