I think we need to remember that Rob Angus although CEO is also a fan and has been for many years so if there was ever anything untoward going on then I'm sure he would not be happy and would probably resign and look to do something about it, but I don't believe that would happen on his watch.
Those ITK types that like to hint at this need to remember that.
I'm also sure that the repairs to the stadium the costs would not have impacted the playing budget, there is rent going into an account that I'm sure will be used to pay the costs off as the rent money goes in I'm sure it will be used to pay it off, you would guess they loaned the money short term (maybe from Clem's pocket) to pay the repairs, and rent reduction will pay this off.
Certainly the playing budget and stadium work is very separate, remember the club owns 50% of the ground.. not 100%.
The JV is responsible for the transformation work which is all separate and has separate accounts, budgets etc
Yes there are some work that is needed on the CG immediately which the club is paying for and has done (CCTV, Roof repairs, electrics etc) and yes that is circa 200k as defined in the AB minutes.
In essence stadium development and playing budget are not linked, very separate and certainly the playing budget has not been impacted or changed based on the short term CG costs.
Clem isn't looking to sell, far from it, he is in it for the long haul. Yes no one (unless your a billionaire) has a bottomless pit of money to invest and yes Clem wants the club to run sustainably and ongoing savings,and being more efficient with where the income is spent will help with this, ultimately that's Robs domain to manage.
Thought it worth sharing that to respond on a few points raised on this thread
Rent was 200k PA
