Frankly not a very well-informed statement.
It certainly isn't the 1960s, where tackles like those that see red-cards these days would have gone unpunished. Where would the likes of Ron Harris and Norman Hunter be in the modern day game. But you don't change the rules to make it easier for keepers to come off their lines (as the last defender) and foul attackers. Goalkeepers get far more protection now than ever they used to - far too much some might say.

Yet another piece to bring embarrassment to the club and make us look like a bunch of idiots.
Clearly and obviously he's not seen any games or decisions, aside from Scott's farsical red card at Brackley the others have all been correct decisions (last man twice & handling outside the penalty area)
30 years as a goalkeeper LOL!, he's certainly got a keeper's physique.......Neville Southall.

Not getting into what decisions are wrong or right, We all have opinions they are not the same. We play futsal type football (or soccer  ) Keeper very often last man. It was the choice of the coaching staff/club to do this. Has the standard of football been better? Yes we are currently on 47 points, the 55 we need to beat in our first season looks like being passed. We were told by Justin in the Oxford Mail, that the normal game would be mixed in with futsal to cut the mistakes out. But we have had last man and keeper playing seat of pants footsie. When things were going smoothly mid season (good pitches) we had a keeper on the bench, then decided not to have a keeper on the bench when conditions got a lot worse??. So not buying that Scottys shoulder problem was huge part, I think tactical, to give us more field options more likely. So we have introduced a new style of football, its our choice the clubs probably, his (I have no idea). The officials will carry on making contraversal decisions, last season we were making it easy they just had to blow the whistle for a goal, as we passed it back to numerous center forwards to tuck in the net. We play it a lot better now but need to concerntrate on the passing game up field like we did against Brackley that had Billy on his derry air. As for Himself phoning Justin up after the game asking why a keeper was not on the bench??? Crocombe was availible, was he not consulted or did he not fancy getting his wallet out?? So in short, WE have to adapt the style so it is more official friendly! |

Has he built the facility yet?? No! I suspect Its for the IRS, as he is millions in debt according to his accounts. 10K students all doing the same course for $9K plus.. Yer, Good luck with that one! And come on, if they all do well and finish the Masters course, you have 10 thousand Jobs/placements for them! Really, right  |

Shocker...or not....
Though innocent until proven guilty and all that....Not holding my breath as Stateside unlike here the Feds don't normally seem to piss about.
Hopefully someone in authority is preparing a statement which will clarify the situation for our club if (when?) he's found Guilty.

This is a worrying comment
"The SEC’s complaint charges Guerriero and Oxford City with violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(b) of Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 as well as Sections 5(a), 5(c) and 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933."
Will this cause us any problems

Here's the SEC press release: www.sec.gov/news/pressrelease/2015-278.html"Oxford City claimed to own an online university with students already enrolled and projected profits of $495 million for the upcoming five-year period. In reality, there was no such university that ever enrolled a student or had revenue." It doesn't exist... It doesn't exist... etc. |

I'm afraid to find out how much of our club he owns. His last quarterly accounts (the 3 months to September 30th) are here: www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1414295/000149315215005828/form10-q.htmIt says the US company owns: .."49% [of OCFC] held indirectly through Oxford City Football Club, LLC, Voting Agreement gives the Company greater than 50% of the votes on the Board of Directors." It also says: "Our revenues are primarily derived from Oxford City Football Club, Oxford City Nomads, Oxford City Futsal and Oxford City FC Basketball, which are operated by Oxford City Football Club (Trading) Limited in United Kingdom." Of course, as most of us have known all along, TAG wouldn't know the truth if it bit him, so we shouldn't necessarily trust his accounts. But these accounts are a legal document and are supposed to be audited. I don't pretend to understand the figures but there are some massive losses there. Are we liable for any of them? Thank god the Council owns the ground. At least we'll still have that, even if we can't afford to pay any players. It's worrying. |

I'm pleased that this is all finally unravelling for TAG. However, I'm sad that the club still appears unwilling to face the truth of the situation.

Also the real football club will not be liable for the losses of OCFC Inc. However, I think Colin can wave goodbye to the $250k he lent TAG.... |

Only $250k? That's a relief, I heard it was £250k!

Last week at Eastborne I comented that I hadn't seen him for a very long time. There was just a grim faced response so I new something was in the wind. Even though it is oxford city inc and I was assured and others if things went tits up we would not be affected. I somehow don't think the FA will not react in some way esspecially after tightening laws concerning financial stability this season of all club officials. Oh I do hope some one locked away the money for the 3G pitch or I will be playing in our next trophy game ;(

Seeing as the FA will have approved his involvement with the club despite the obviously dodgy track record which can be unearthed with one easy Google search it would be remiss of them to react too harshly. But of course the FA are amoral bastards who constantly ignore common sense.

I'm obviously delighted that what we were pretty confident of all along can now be stated with certainty. However, for all the merits of the club's directors, I think it's really sad that they are trying to hide the real story. And also, since the whole thing was incredibly shady all along, who knows if the real Oxford City blurred lines with TAG's Oxford City holding company, and therefore the real Oxford City end up getting caught up in some sort of scandal?
