I take it that the demand for an open meeting/season end review is conveniently swept under the lumpy carpet then??

Lessons have been learned! Stop moaning

Remember that he is not not taking responsibility so that is the end of it.

He is taking responsibility for everything from now on.
To me, they have had a lot to learn from. Manning appears to be so far a sound appointment.
The critical thing now, is to get the recruitment right. The money appears to be there. With Taylor, Bate, Fleming, Anderson, Gorrin ( presumably), Joseph, (+ hopefully Wildshut, Baldock) going/ gone, there will be plenty of funds/ places available in the squad.
ST sales look to be good to date.
No excuses for not having huge improvement next season ( and L1 looks as if it could be quite a lot weaker)

Naturally it’s front page news too. But as I read it, it’s old information going back to 2015-2018 and put right by Tiger and current ownership

Turns out you can’t pay staff in hot dogs

 

[Mythbuster3000]

Annoyingly, some people on Twitter have read the headline and taken it at that and blamed the current owners. If they actually looked into the article they would see it is from 2015-2018. However, I think highlights a bigger issue in society with people taking media headlines as facts.

Sounds like a deliberate attempt by a certain few people at a smear campaign against the club, about things that happened years ago, under previous ownership, that the current ownership have put right.

Surely this is clear defamation, in an attempt to make the club look bad, and it's obvious who's responsible. If I were the club, I'd be taking legal action against those involved, including the OM, and their so called "reporter"

Before we all jump off the deep end about this being an attack or smear campaign, this came out today as part of a government report, which you can see in the link below. It has been widely reported this morning. Of course the Oxford Mail could have handled it more gracefully, but we all know the "standard" of their reporting.

More than 200 companies named for not paying staff minimum wage

Over 200 employers are today (21 June 2023) being named by government for failing to pay their lowest paid staff the minimum wage.

you sound like the character in "Dr Strangelove" who is terrified the russians are trying to inflitrate and play havoc with his bodily fluids.

 

[Osleroad]

My initial thought too though many don't read on that far but just as long as oufc are paying correctly now.

I don't have a twitter a/c , but was taken aback to what I read ! I find now this is a story which broke around 6/7 years ago.and was settled by the new owners ! Thank you for enlightening me of this , no fool like a. Old fool !

I think it's too late for poor @Mad dog87 - somebody should do the kind thing and shoot him.

Trust me, they'd be better off doing that, than trying to infiltrate my bodily fluids

 

[Paul Cannell]

Perhaps I phrased it wrong, I was suggesting that somebody had been tampering with yr bfs. Otherwise no way would I hunt you down like a dog and shoot you, nor would I hunt you down and shoot you like a dog. Wouldn't shoot you at all. Well, maybe wing you when you're off on one, but I wouldn't count that as shooting.

Not exactly digging dirt, was a major PR release by the government/HMRC, they sent national companies to wider press, and did more regional releases for local press (its as if they felt the need to deflect from something else). It was also worded to sound like current rather than 5-10 year old issues that had been dealt with.
