He’s a good operator on the whole. A slight enigma, being a red trouser wearing, old Etonian but football and sport crazy. I know him as I was up at Oxford Uni at the same time as him and we both used to drink at Vincents Club on Fridays. He was a golf half-blue. Mad keen Oxford United fan even back the. (1998). Was good to chat football with him amongst all the rugger buggers. He is prob worth £3-4m himself but has a great network. The only fly in the ointment is that he raised £10m to launch his newspaper called The Sportsman which went bust in 2006. Definitely an improvement on what we’ve got.

PS roll on the West Country away games, FTM.

Oxford fans have mixed opinions on him and it seems he's another who likes to post on the clubs forums;

His Dad sounds like some bloke as well.

Very impressive but did he ever win top prize at the leak show?

They seem to absolutely hate him on there. I’ve read a few of his posts and he does come across as a bit of a condescending bellend.

Worryingly they are also pretty damning of Donald’s running of Eastleigh and particularly his managerial appointments.
