So flogged off the club he never wanted but which he had to buy to give him the excuse to build a stadium he charges the club (among others) through the nose for using. Or put another way, he's got rid of the FC that loses money, and kept the stadium that makes money. He must be laughing his tits off .... all the way to the bank.

Great Seinfeld moment when he talks about the phrase "laughing all the way to the bank" he was saying have you ever seen anyone do that or have you ever laughed all the way to the bank yourself?

I suppose you had to be there.  I miss Jerry Seinfeld....and George...and Kramer...!!

Anyone have a heads-up on who will own the Stadium and facilities?

Bringing in the Bald Eagle though is a masterstroke, cracking manager and I can see him doing well if he's given a few quid to run with.

According to the statement on their OS, Kassam's keeping the stadium and facilities but he's given the new team an "option to buy" them which lasts for (I think) seven years. Which might be better phrased as an "option to sell" for him and in the meantime, he keeps coining it in from rental etc. And if they don't come up with the dosh in the timeframe, they could well find themselves with the stadium sold out from under them. Oh, and they still won't get any of the extra revenue from the facilities etc. Nice.

Well, they are never going to be able to own the stadium and associated facilities and rent it back to the club for a start.........
