Rumours around our office circulating that Anton has remortgaged the stadium and hotel and hasn't paid for shit.

Of course, this is all "my mate whose mate knows this guy who..." screwbollox, but after all this transfer squirming, broken promises and player sales I can't help but worry.

I mean, the academy and players we have brought in - is that really with Anton money? And our performances taking a serious dip; could that be to do with something going on backstage?

Fingers crossed we are just shit at transfers and football, but I have an uneasy feeling about this.

Some of us spoke out about feeling uneasy from the very beginning. No one from the board has spoken about anything recently. I also read on twitter last night, something about the expansion plans and the club asking for an extra week...not sure what that was all about tbh. I can't see, however, how AZ could remortgage the club/hotel if he doesn't own them 100% in the first place...however, something isn't right. :cry:

HoneyRoastHoax So many people are oxf*rd idiots with their conspiracy theories.

What a pcunt Anton is, bought us Jason Roberts who got us into the prem. Financed retaining players like Alex McCarthy, Pearce, HRK, pays for high wages for the likes of Drenthe, Bridge, Williams and Pog, gets us Cat 1 academy status, buys us a new training ground. Doesn't risk our finances by signing on a knee jerk player and gets us a great manager.

What a prick :roll:


So there is no income to fund all of this?
Premier League payout,what was it,something like £40,000,000?
Plus £12,500,000? for 4 years.
I know some of these earn big money but come on,get real.
BTW if you think that giving Pearce and Kanu 3 year contracts on improved terms was good business I can't take you seriously.

I didn't say there is no income to fund all this. you haven't even bothered reading what I wrote.

So many dickhead fans are for some reason expecting us to be the man city of the chump. We aren't even doing badly. we're reading football club and we're signing players decent players.

If you can't handle the fact we're not splashing millions then oxf*rd off back to supporting chelsea you gibbon

Is it now perhaps becoming clearer why Bill Kenwright told Zingarevich's lot to Do one?

Maybe?

Supporting Chelsea is only optional for Gibbons. However, if you are a Chimpanzee, it becomes mandatory. :)

Nope, no one is expecting us to be the Man City of the Championship that's just an idea that suits certain people in their quest to make others look unreasonable. What most were expecting was them to address certain holes in the squad like a striker and now after selling Mariappa a central defender neither of which were done.

I am in agreement but read the early interviews with SJM and AZ, the club will continue to be run in a prudent way. They are.

I would like a good striker but look at the brighton game. Our midfield couldn't manage anything other than to lump the ball in the box. Alf and pog both need balls to feet.

They will score if they do.

This is a more pressing priority

It was a quote from the Chronicle and about one of the councillors who joked that they needed to sign a player before expanding the stadium. Actually. :roll:

Anton doesn't own the hotel.

Shocking effort.

i honestly dont.
not in the way you lot do anyway.


i think adkins is struggling to impliment a new system understandably. i think hes made some mistakes, tactically, and in team selection, and formation.
i think the club is struggling to readjust to life back down here financially, but there is some money to fund new signings. we just failed to do so. like many other clubs this window.
including man united.
i think we have been hugely naive, stupid even with some of our proclamations. but i believe they werent in any way duplicitous.




feeling we are struggling with a few things shouldnt really automatically escalate to- Antons got no money, hes remortgaged the club :roll: , its all a massive oxf*rd stupidfaced conspiracy
that is all.

Mine is more of a concern, rather than a conspiracy theory. Could of course be joining the dots up wrongly, but it does seem odd: team performances have gone down the toilet, two good players sold despite assurances we'd keep hold of 'em, falling well short of our stated aims in the transfer market, a delay in the buyout and radio silence from the owners and board; just feels fishy.
