Yes. ?In Robinson's iFollow interview prior to Bristol Rovers, he made a big thing of pointing out how well the board have supported him and the club, not just during Covid but in the last two years. He then listed off the names of the board/investors, didn't mention Zaki and Chris Williams didn't correct him, I thought it strange at the time but makes sense now!
In his list, he reeled off Tiger, Horst (Geicke), Erick (Thohir), Anin (Bakrie) and then what sounded like "Barry and "Susie" - any ideas who they are?
Did he ever have a stake or was he there as a name/professional advisor? I would imagine he had to sever all ties given his Governmental position.Did Thohir sell his stake in the club and did he just remove himself from the board?
Tell him to sign a striker.Barry is obviously Bazzer.

Not ideal of course. But as an investment banker, when we blew the playoffs, holding your cash in there for another loss making season makes no sense. Quite simply we'll never have a better chance.
Covid then hits and it becomes a total no brainer.
Erm isn't this quite worrying? Maybe prompted by the lack of progress with the stadium as well as by Covid?
Yep. It goes from very little hope to absolutely zero hope.Oh, and is this going to affect our chances of bringing in new players before the window closes?
The man himself said that he started contemplating and having discussions after the Wembley final 2.5 months ago.... so hardly abrupt, it was just unexpected news to us.Whatever the reasons this can only be a bad thing for OUFC. I thought Zaki always spoke and posted very well. He made me feel the club were doing the right things and moving forward.
It was quite an abrupt resignation so has to be concerning.
So abrupt to us then!! As in sudden and unexpected.The man himself said that he started contemplating and having discussions after the Wembley final 2.5 months ago.... so hardly abrupt, it was just unexpected news to us.
Agreed, very nice guy, but has clearly decided that his investment (which at anything below premier league level is going to make you a huge loss) is not worth it especially at the moment. Like all of us who have probably been squeezed more than ever at present on finances has decided to drop out. He was clearly not the main financial backing for the club so i dont see any reason for concern here. Respect his decision and move on.The man himself said that he started contemplating and having discussions after the Wembley final 2.5 months ago.... so hardly abrupt, it was just unexpected news to us.
Big difference between abrupt resignation, which implies something untoward and it being a surprise to us fans!So abrupt to us then!! As in sudden and unexpected.
Stadium solution is still some way off. Constantly ongoing process but not close yet. Beware of the foam finger claims - the deadlines have come and gone on those multiple times as it is. Promotion would’ve been helpful on many fronts but we are where we are.Erm isn't this quite worrying? Maybe prompted by the lack of progress with the stadium as well as by Covid?
