General Consortium Takeover - News and Rumours

[OxfordYankee]

There's a huge difference between not having anything to back up your view, and not being able to share confidential information that would otherwise prove your point.

@Wallop @Colin B and (dare I say it) myself have been repeating the same thing over and over again and it doesn't take much to fill in the gaps to see exactly what is going on.

It isn't conjecture.

To those who have proof, it isn’t. To everyone else, it is.

It’s up to them whether they believe it or not. But believing is different from knowing.

As a believer, I think it will all comes to pass, but demanding proof to backup a claim while continually refusing to provide any, is, you have to admit, ironic.

Roll on an announcement, after which we prostrate ourselves at the feet of the chosen few and beg mercy for lack of faith.

 

[Foley]

But you ask for proof but can never provide any.

I’m with you and believe that great things are ahead, but that’s based on nothing more than logic, guesswork and hope. Not proof. And until proof can be shared, you’re asking people to believe a story/theory.

Victor’s story/theory is different. But it’s still conjecture, just as yours is to the masses for whom proof has yet to be provided.

I am.not remotely ITK, but think that it is pretty obvious what is going on.
The people who are giving details of what is happening, in my view are more credible than Victor ( who is giving no answer at all as to what two multi millionaires on the Board and with a history of building stadiums are here for)
Until all of the i's have been dotted and the t's crossed of course there will be confidentiality agreements in place , and of course it isn't over until everything is signed and even then there is planning. But it doesn't seem that difficult to see what is happening

I’m not arguing against it. I believe it, but I don’t know it.

My original point was purely about the demand for proof, not Wallop’s credibility.

Is that all? I hope it has the chance to increase/developed if required?

Something like Brentford would be ideal.

Way too far away. Even Bicester felt too far from Oxford as a site, but Brentford…

WHO’S WHO ?

From left:
John Clark - Part of management team I believe
Horst Geicke
Anin B
Lord Mayor Lygo
Paul Peros - Ox Vox
Barry Winters - part of Vietnam ownership
Not sure about the one on the end, maybe one of Anin’s Indo team.

Hopefully they are building those relationships and getting somewhere. All those past owners since Kassam havnt manage it.

Anin isn't wearing any colours - bit of a plastic - Bakrie out!

I hate Brentford’s ground, horrible, so hope it’s not like that.

 

[mooro]

Anin isn't wearing any colours - bit of a plastic - Bakrie out!

Plastic board member and a Lego mayor and people are still wondering whether we are going to be building something?????

John Clark - 'Advisor to the board' - See his LinkedIn profile here... https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathonclarke1/

He's also an advisor to 'RFC Prop Company' which I think is the company that owns the land around Readings ground. Horst and Tiger, amongst others are on the board - https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/09315720/officers

He's also MD of a property company.

Barry Winters - Managing Director of Thien Phuc Real Estate Trading Co. Ltd -

Why would Lygo be their

 

[Northernyellow]

I hate Brentford’s ground, horrible, so hope it’s not like that.

Hmm- a modern all seater stadium (with four sides!) and a capacity of 17,250. Great transport links and loads of pubs within a 15 minute walk of the ground. Yup, I can't see how we would want something like that either.

 

[OX14]

I hate Brentford’s ground, horrible, so hope it’s not like that.

But you ask any of the championship clubs fans and they will say the atmosphere at Brentford's ground is one of the best they've encountered, a quote on one of the Facebook groups was 17k sounded more like 40k. This is exactly what we should be aiming for considering we aren't going to get 30k fans turn up just because we have a new ground.

Could be way off the mark as often happens with Google searches, but the fella on the end could be Kevin Nugroho, a football fanatic who jointly owns Indonesian team Persis Solo along with Erick Thohir????

 

[Wallop]

Why would Lygo be their

As part of a sensible strategy by the Board to ensure that over time all of our councillors and local persons of influence have the chance to meet the Board members so that when approvals are required, they have been warmed up to what those Board members are trying to achieve - basic stakeholder management.

 

[psquared]

Well this is encouraging ...

Lord Mayor of Oxford - Councillor Mark Lygo​

Away from council duties, Mark is a keen supporter of grassroots sports and culture; he is currently Chairman of Quarry Rovers FC, a local referee and a dedicated supporter of Oxford United FC. He is a keen runner and fitness enthusiast, an interest he nurtures as part of the GoodGym project.

And very nice of the club to get them wearing club ties. And, of course, everyone present has ties to property development. ( except Mark Lygo who is the Mayor, of course!)
