Its all on the website my old China, toodle pip run along and get your health and safety in order ! Nice try Mr Guerriero, but I'm the health and safety chap. You see, I'm the one who has actually registered here. How about you do it as well? Whilst you're here, could you explain how you are advertising a $100,000 sponsorship package for big screen naming rights? I'm very interested in this, but think it a bit steep just to have my name added in Letraset to the 42" plasma in the clubhouse. Also, we don't "sue" people for illegal activity here. We use the regulatory authorities such as the police and the FSA. They're a bit like the SEC and FINRA. Having been rapped over the knuckles by the later entity on more than one occasion, I'm sure you're aware of them. By the way, you do realise that people in Oxford don't actually speak Cockney don't you?

It really is time for the management committee of the REAL OCFC to speak out and explain exactly what is going on here. It would be funny if it wasn't so serious. Laughing stock! This is spot on. Mr Guerriero is now registered with Companies House as a director of Oxford City FC (Trading) Ltd, and claims to have purchased 49% of the shareholding. On official comment from club really is necessary.

But it will not be on here, I can't remember ever a board member ever commenting on this site, it would be a bit like IL and sons having a good old slagging match on yellows forum. Not going to happen, it does say something about a fans Meeting in the very Amusing video but wait, wouldn't you have to be a fan to attend, join up and come along when ever that is?

Not going to happen, it does say something about a fans Meeting in the very Amusing video but wait, wouldn't you have to be a fan to attend, join up and come along when ever that is? You're absolutely right. A director with any sort of integrity wouldn't be engaging on a forum such as this. So why is Mr Guerriero doing precisely that? But what about the official OCFC site (the proper one, not Mr Guerriero's)? Why no comment on there? Surely somebody buying virtually half of the trading arm of the club is worthy of comment, without the need to wait for a fans' forum. Sorry, but my perception is that the club hierarchy have been suckered in and now haven't a clue to get out of it, hence the radio silence.

And if your right, I am sure they are probably looking at how to rectify the situation if that is possible, maybe you could help When they respond to you directly, look forward to that broadcast/posting !

I would be only too willing to help.
That's the thing about football fans - they tend to rally round clubs in trouble and put aside their club allegiences because they know it could well be them next.

I am a bit confused last season it was £15 to sponsor a players socks, now I have to pay $25,000 to put my compnay logo on Andy Ballard's 'jersey'....inflation is running at a high rate at Court Place Farm, sorry the Oxford City Stadium. Not to mention the $120,000 to come over and study in the terrapin huts behind the goal...Have I got this all wrong. I think somebody from the club needs to make an official statement

To Chris B and Padz, I believe you two have good access to the real people who run the City, can't you encourage someone in real authority to make a public statement about what the hell is going on? I don't mean on this forum but in the local press. There are hundreds of people who really care for City who deserve an explanation and, hopefully, reassurance about how much influence this character has.

As I posted a month ago.... I fear he will be using the Oxford City FC name in the US to collect advance fees from young hopefuls for some sort of Soccer Camp / promise of trials with English professional clubs that will never materialise. It wouldn't be the first scam of this nature. Hmm! I wonder how much of the fees will actually find their way into the football club's coffers?

"Go Home Yank"
Probably best to stick to the provable facts rather than make potentially liable statements like that.
The latest accounts for WMX Group certainly make interesting reading. They bear all the hallmarks of a classic "boiler room" operation.....

This guy is a scumbag like Peter Miller was a Scumbag at Port Vale and Northampton. You can't be reasonable with them they just take you for a mug and laugh at you when you go bust! Nothing I have said is libellous its all over the internet. Hence his site which deflects searches from the sexting and porn video cases

I think the poster further up has it spot on. The new website is designed to attract cash from gullible US footballers who will pay to apply to go to the OCFC Academy. It wouldn't surprise me if none of the applications are successful but TAG will pocket the application fee. The rest of the site is all fluff designed to make the offering look substantial - inflated prices look daft to us, but to players in the States they might imply that OCFC are big time. The press releases are designed to impress not OCFC fans, but those gullible youngsters back home.
It is genuinely astonishing that anyone running a football club could have allowed this to happen, when a simple Google should have set enough alarm bells ringing for the club to have walked far away.
If there is a way for OCFC to extricate themselves from this, I suggest they pursue it rapidly...

The OCFC training facility on the latest version of his website: www.oxfordcityfc.com/sponsorship/ looks suspiciously like the Kassam Stadium. Do they know that their naming rights are up for grabs? And does this constitute misrepresentation under English contract law? Perhaps he has taken down the original sponsorship prices in order to convert them to sterling.

A replica shirt is $150 (about £100!) - bargain!
I see Sharon has had my comments on her weasle racing thread removed so I won't put them on there again for risk of upsetting her but the question still stands: will The Yank be there? If so it will be good to be able to go along and ask him some questions, one of which would be to enquire whether he thinks it's fair for him to take advantage of good hearted, loyal supporters like Sharon working her butt off to raise funds for OCFC while he makes an international mockery of the club's good name?
Meanwhile the silence from the real OCFC is deafening.

I really did not want to get embroiled in this thread (there are many incorrect statements but I will be on a hiding to nothing if I say anything) but just to say, I have NOT asked for your comments to be removed Undertaker and I don't know why they were removed.
As with all events, I never really know who is going to be attending, but I suspect Mr Guerriero will not be flying in from the US to attend a ferret racing event.... but who knows!

If the club thinks that statements on this thread are incorrect then the remedy lies in their own hands by making a clear and open statement on the deal. Or better still, hold an open meeting. IMO there have been some very helpful posts here and it is constructive how fans from other clubs have expressed concern because they see where this may be heading. One matter that needs clarification is precisely what added value is brought by a small cap US company which has just inflicted a massive reverse stock split on its ordinary shareholders, considerably diluting their share values. Perhaps the club's accountants would like to explain this.

I think it is only fare as part of the argument to have a link to the oxford mail. where at least some of the issues were addressed on this thread excluding his characture. like it says colin states "The Charity will still has (have) control of the club". and with the registration mentioned at 49%, that seems accurate meaning oxford city charitable company holds 51% Read more: www.oxfordcityfc.proboards.com/thread/1206/announcement-deux?page=4#ixzz2V9zdgrbyWith respect, the whole point is that Mr Taylor's statement did not address various concerns. It's quite possible for a subsidiary company to bring down the parent company. We need to know the extent of the club's liability for WMX Group's debts, should any accrue.

Don't worry Sharon, I can understand why you were cross so I won't do it again. But if you know enough about the whole situation to be able to say "there are many incorrect statements" then you ought to expand on that so we all get a better understanding of the situation. Or do you mean The Yank has made many incorrect statements?!
