Re: Embargos, HMRC Payment defaults, non payment of wages, the usual under Dai Wrongge

Nigel Howe has been fined £5,000 and issued an immediate six-month suspension from involvement with player contract negotiations and transfer related activity, and a further six-month suspension from all football related activity to commence upon the expiry of the first suspension. I wonder the sus...

Re: Embargos, HMRC Payment defaults, non payment of wages, the usual under Dai Wrongge

So almost certainly not going to ruin the sale of the club, and confirmation that we have a sell on clause. Is this actually good news?

Yeh, it's an article that doesn't quite add up from an unreliable source.

Re: Embargos, HMRC Payment defaults, non payment of wages, the usual under Dai Wrongge

WTF did we agree to something that wasn't allowed. Clowns the lot of them. If it makes you feel any better, the same redacted documents revealed that we do in fact have a 10% sell-on for transfer profit in regards to Olise. Who knows what Dai is supposedly selling the club for, but the knowledge th...

Re: Embargos, HMRC Payment defaults, non payment of wages, the usual under Dai Wrongge

Seems very harsh. We developed Olise, if an agent is strong arming us to push the laws or lose him for free, surely he is the one who has the book thrown at him? Imagine how much suffering could have been avoided at many clubs if Kia had simply been banned for his role in Mascherano and Tevez. Who k...

Re: Weekend Football

I wonder how different Spurs fans would have been last night if they actually thought they could win. Let's be honest - we all knew City would win and they did. If Spurs were still in their early season form and had 4th place in their own hands, I suspect it would have been different. Instead, it wa...

Re: Is Pep a genius?

I think Pep is a motivational genius, yes. It is the old chestnut with him, I want to see him at a mediocre club with a tight budget. Everything he has ever had has been handed to him on a plate. Not his fault of course but he has had it easy. I don't buy this. When Barca appointment him they were ...

Re: Weekend Football

Most Arsenal fans have some memory of success so I'm not convinced they'd be quite as small time as the Spurs fans were I thought that, finishing apart, Spurs played pretty well and gave as good as they got. Fine margins and all that, but Ortega ultimately proved to be the difference. (who knows if...

Re: Is Pep a genius?

Not sure Yaya Toure is a good shout. Pep wasted him at Barca as a physical DM, it was only at City where they let him take off the shackles and he became a magnificent player who could do just about anything.

Re: Weekend Football

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

2 more charges on Bearwood from Redwood published on Companies House - appears they have loaned the club 2.83m over the exclusivity period. So either the deal completes soon or the club is even more financially handicapped than it was a few months back. Been lots of speculation on exactly how much ...

Johnson Clarke-Harris going on a free, lots of Twitter fans saying we should go for it. Am I the only one who thinks "hell no"? He's a big name who if he doesn't go to the Championship, will go to the highest bidder and who may well smash our wage structure - should we really have anyone c...

Re: Rival Watch

Also married in Oxford, so whilst I enjoyed playing them again, doesn't bother me in the slightest if they go up. Not sure why it would bother anyone really but football does strange things to people. It's just a pantomime. Partially. But I've only ever known us be the most successful and biggest c...

Another bet. Will any reputable journalist report it before it's formally announced? I'm going no. They seem to have it under wraps.

Got to say NDAs are very effective when you have serious people involved and not chancers like William Storey.

Snowflake Royal If the takeover goes through and we're bottom half in October, there'll be a lot of people changing their tune pretty quickly IMO.

Re: Weekend Football

Didn't someone seriously post on "The Team" a couple of weeks ago "Shall we lose to Blackpoll to stop Poxford getting into the play-offs"? Tbf, that Blackpool game was a dead rubber and I'd happily swap the win for an Oxford loss at Wembley. But for a game with anything meaningf...

Re: Weekend Football

Surely if Villa lose tonight, Spurs' desire to keep their top 4 hopes alive must trump their wish for Arsenal to lose the title? If Villa win tonight then who knows. Perhaps they'll be cheering City goals tomorrow. Which is pathetic. I have a friend who grew up as a glory supporting United fan who a...

Re: The Retained List

It's catch 22. The best way to balance our finances is to get back to the Championship as fast as possible, but betting big on promotion is exactly the sort of risk taking approach to be avoided. I agree with IR more that new owners should be more cautious and if need be make decisions that reduce o...
