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.

A lot of those passes were very short and simple but whatever. He’s had a good few games at RB, solid and dependable playing out of position. I’m not knocking him.

Indeed but his other crosses were poor.

I think that’s the main difference rather than individual players rotating.

He had a good game I wouldn’t say great. Defended well but didn’t use the ball well, a lot of stray passes etc.

Yes but I think they’ll then flog the club to MA cheap after Jan. They will get more in total selling off in bits, with inflated Jam transfer window prices, than they would selling as a whole to Ashley.

But also it will drive the price up. He will want to drive it down and SISU will want guaranteed return. I think they will look to offload a few players in Jan. Easier money that negotiating with MA.

Indeed. It is insane that somebody in such a position be involved in any local enterprise. Surely the whole idea is you are compensated to be a neutral advisor/manager type not to bend over backwards to give grants and development opportunities to a business you are involved with?
