Furthermore he steadfastly refuses to comment upon his history unless he's pushed very hard - i.e Swindon speedway, and even when he does comment it's very suspicious and doesn't feel people full of confidence. Not once has he given us a reason or stated why his numerous other stadium ventures have failed and why we should trust him with our club, regardless of the largely positive behind the scenes actions of this summer.merse btpir wrote: ↑29 Jul 2017, 11:53 None of what you write is dismissed; however you ~ like Dave Thomas in the Herald Express ~ stubbornly or inadvertently ~ neglect to acknowledge the elephant in the room. Namely that Clarke Osborne has not once delivered a single opened and operating project in over thirty years of promising and renaging on such projects; and as it is he who is the proponent in such a vision the whole thing is rendered invalid!
Take note, no agreement with the local authority is in place yet and I do believe this is someway off. At the moment he (GI) is bankrolling TUFC even if his input is mediocre. Lets focus (for now) on the football.SenorDingDong wrote: ↑29 Jul 2017, 14:33 Furthermore he steadfastly refuses to comment upon his history unless he's pushed very hard - i.e Swindon speedway, and even when he does comment it's very suspicious and doesn't feel people full of confidence.

Exactly. Osborne has reneged on his promise made 8 months ago to hold a Fans Forum. No doubt because there would bound to be someone there who would press him on his inability to build stadiums, even if it is something David Thomas refuses to acknowledge or press Osborne on.torregull wrote: ↑30 Jul 2017, 17:37 Yes.and avoids situations where these questions will be asked: Fans Forum,meeting with TUST Board,meeting With Kevin Foster MP(postponed by Osborne twice now),local Business Forums;with Nicho representing the club instead.He doesn't like scrutiny and those that would scrutinise.

It may be that some are persuaded by a shiny ORANGE/MANGO Nike kit, a new website and badge but let's just remember that Clarke Osborne is a property developer who DOES NOT build new stadiums. He is, however, very adept at somehow helping clubs lose the stadium they play in.
