Well quite. I think the problem is people have little trust in the council so as a whole they have little wriggle room for plausible deniability, particularly when it’s ‘there were no plans/discussions, well apart from these early discussions which didn’t really go anywhere or get as far as a...

This is what makes me uncertain about the whole situation. The preferred bidder status and process is very opaque. Also why I picked up on the regeneration argument as it had been used as justification as to why MA is preferred bidder.

I can agree with all of that but part of the issue is that Reeves would even entertain it. While I can understand he might have to come up with something it was a ludicrous idea.

Would it have interfered with the flying taxi port?

If you look back at post 12,409 in reply to me schmeee is now saying he’s not made the regeneration argument!

And yet he drew up plans for 30m. You make some fair points and some people are probably reading too much into certain things but some of your defence is weirdly try hard.

It’s not just sentiment. It would secure the club and mean no more arguments about rent, moving grounds in disputes etc. Until then there is always the threat of homelessness. I’m not asking them to ignore bids. I’m pointing out that your argument that regeneration is the councils main concern...

If a successful local football team played there wouldn’t the regeneration kind of happen naturally rather than say building a hotel that isn’t needed on a car park that is needed? You keep acting as if people are too dumb to understand the idea of the council wanting some regeneration but it’s...

Ben Sheaf! Ben Sheaf!

Don’t worry I’m sure they’ve got plenty in crypto as well so will be fine.

This has been my worry. SISU will want the most money they can get and MA will want to pay as little as possible and neither will play nice. If he’s landlord only he will surely be looking to gain as much in rent as possible unless his income is linked to F&B and such so his goal is to drive...

Does that mean MAs bid is not expected to go through or is it just as a matter of course in case it doesn’t get finalised? Or is it just PR, “well we tried to put in a bid but it was all wrapped up before in secret?”

It does look that way

“Public interest” I can barely keep up but this seem nuts at this point. Maybe Gilbert will be able to clear things up in this interview but I suspect it will just raise more questions.

Preferred bidder status, something like that? Would surely have to be a sweetener which would be worth what they were putting in?

But the tweet above suggests if they are liquidated the lease reverts to them and they can resell it? So they’d be turning down money to save ACL?

It makes sense to have as many tenants as possible and I’m sure he couldn’t care less what fans think but fuck me, talk about misreading the room.

Could it have been the financial issues?

Just great to have a performance and a win for a big crowd. It feels like so many times in the past when there was a big crowd the match was a bit of a damp squib.

He was the same against Wigan in the week. Swept everything up but used the ball well as well rather than just lump it clear.
