Whilst I do like the sound of what was said,as I said yesterday, hopefully the start of the week will provide more info. My personal opinion is that this is a double edged sword, were are a good prospect to invest in because any potential buyer will be looking at the surrounding development opportunities retail and commercial. Hopefully this means building up the club to make the area more desirable. Could work could also fall on its arse. Again only an opinion I agree the consortium can obviously see the opportunities of investment in that area surrounding the stadium. First thing I would be doing would be looking to buy the stadium outright and end the ridiculous fees we have to pay the council especially as we own half of it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Cheers, but it's the away top I'm looking for. I actually own that top, and it's an original and not one of the re-released ones they did a few years ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again only an opinion This is the concern I would have, given we’ve seen it in my neck of the woods. Billionaire wanders in and purchases two professional teams, and then moves to redevelop both teams homes, with associated business and retail investment. Stadia get replaced, but times got a bit tight, so the development plan foundered. Then Mr. Moneybags sells the teams on while retaining lucrative development options and property, consequently starving the teams new owners of development funds. Development finally occurring, 20 years late, after his estate sold the rights. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiwiDB Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Aye but if you bothered to add how i finished with the "no owner ever is" . Its a bit of hope and cautiously optimistic for the future i dare say a lot is gauging on how he comes across to Kenny and David on Monday. Biggest concern for me is there isnt a lot on this guy online but the article says the money is from Singapore so see what happens.I can confirm it’s not me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 No-one knows if all of this is the right thing, or the wrong thing. The MSG knew full well that the BtB bid was without doubt, both the right and safe path to follow. They chose not to tread that path citing the Campbell bid as being far more financially attractive and broad reaching in its scope. Now, they have either done this for altruistic reasons, or personally beneficial ones. That comes with an element of risk for both the club and themselves if it goes wrong. They must know that, and I would imagine any exit strategy must also involve their physical absence in the future. If it all goes well, they should expect no plaudits for their choice. If it all goes badly, then they will be (as Billy Connolly put it) as welcome at TFS as a fart in a spacesuit. Whatever legacy they hoped for, it won’t be happening for them. It’s just amazing that people who believe themselves to be so sharp, so smart, could get just about every key decision and communication so badly wrong. Just not as smart as they believed themselves to be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However 90% of the fans in the recent survey said they had no confidence in the Board yet many are trusting them to have made the correct decision on this guy. For me it is feet on the ground till we have more meat on the bones. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what we have here is a guy, whilst English, is now used to the blood and thunder of the US where you wear your heart (& mouth) on your sleeve and let everyone know who you are. We may need to get used to this but as you say, let’s get the deal done first. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankthebairn Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Is this another Craig Whyte?are our MSG really going to give the rights to this institution to this man with no crudentials?Links to many dissolved failed small companies,no evidence to back up any of his claims at all,these questions need answered #whereistheproof 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
