Fuck knows why most of this thread is people making points about the ROI period and business plan when over 2/3rds of you are pretty clear the thing that's motivating you is the owner.......
It's not so much "the owner", Dalumpi, but "the ownership".
There is no true "owner" be it a Company, an individual or a consortium. There is a collection of individuals with hidden obligations between them that they are unable or unwilling to discharge or even accept. Getting rid of Power was arguably a first step but has turned out to be the only step. The Club is effectively ownerless which means it drifts in circles with it's tiller stuck in place
That being the case, it is hardly surprising that all the Club could come up with was some pretty pictures for a precariously financed hospitality facility. No other vision whatsoever. Despite having actually
signed a Joint Venture Agreement and also a purchase agreement committing itself to ground
Development plans TWO YEARS ago.
Clem would no longer be first choice owner for me but the current impasse is a disaster waiting to happen that needs to be addressed. For any Development to succeed, the Club first needs an owner with control.
