PRINCE II is Projects IN Controlled Environment. Project Management system used in the civil service a lot.

Thanks, I’m still none the wiser, nor in this respect do I really want to be.
I think I’ll focus on football in general and Exeter City in particular.
That’s why I’m here.

Bleddy manager speak. Meaningless to the rest of us. Most of them don't know what it means either.

So who owns Oxford's ground now? I worry that it's still Kassam.

It is indeed him, or technically one of his companies. The club pay rent.

I doubt if they will move elsewhere any time soon.

I like your first and third sentences but don’t understand your middle one.
Perhaps you’re referring to finance terms that others may get?
But I’m afraid I don’t.

Sorry Bridgy - I was being flippant. The reference to change management in the quote from one of the new appointees at Oxford put me in mind of some of my colleagues who work in that sphere; and I figured, on the balance of probabilities, that the silly project management puns on people in football might chime with others who'd stumbled across that sort of terminology in their day-to-day lives. If it had been funnier the niche terminology might have been worth it!

Yes, was sort of what I alluded to in my original post (the one I hid the project management puns in the middle of).

There's part of me that thinks Oxford should be a really attractive proposition to a solid foreign investor given the history of the city and the prestige of the University, but they seem hobbled by the deal they've got going with Kassam and his company.
