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.

I can’t speak for anyone other than myself but I’m talking ROI & business plans because I don’t understand how this massively benefits the club & I’m questioning whether the demand & forecasted numbers are realistic…

…now this business plan has presumably been put together by…..wait for it….the owner.

So I’d say not trusting the owner & questioning the business plans are very closely linked together.

…and that doesn’t even bring in to question the delivery of previous ground related ‘improvements’

Or, crazy fucking idea, some of us have, over the years, built some contacts in our careers and keep trying to poke enough people who do have the right levels of money to look our way?

I would vote yes with the right guardrails, even with Clem as owner.  A decent development will benefit future owners.  I have always had an inkling that they were never trying to get to shovels in the ground though, but that isn't based on any sort of insider knowledge.

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.

What makes me wonder, it was said any finance is interest free, but I think we all know Clem hasn't got that sort of money in his bank account, so where is the money coming from and why is it being loaned interest free from a 3rd party.....

Parallels with the Brexit vote. But that’s what the internet and social media has become.

I'm guessing you all have  "plan" to win the Euro millions tomorrow and making Clem a big cash offer? I'm not sure anyone but a die hard Town fan with money to burn would touch the club with a very long shitty stick at  the moment.

Are you trying to be a parody of an annoying cunt or are you just actually a bit fucking mental?

I don't think I even left the one group I was in but it's no longer coming up on my feed and I'm quite happy with that.
