Shoey you have over the years posted not too dissimilar 'information' which can be grossly misleading either by intention or otherwise! Fortunately you do advise that your theory is an assumption. Whether your assumption is correct or not ....will have to wait and see. Apologies for being a sceptic. Please try and get to a Cobblers game as every little helps!
No intention whatsoever , it’s a positive post.
I must admit I was sceptical myself but I can see the logic.
Whether it comes to pass who knows??
I’ve personally never been against the board making money from land acquisition as I’ve posted many times.
I can however see why other individuals may want to see more long term commitment before the council agrees to do this.
It’s striking a balance that’s important.
Let’s be honest , some decent signings promotion , league one football and you’d have a more saleable asset anyway….
If it was me I’d be looking at investing in the club , trying to get promotion and then selling the club and the land to a new owner as a package.
The fact the land and the club are separate is the issue imo.
A league one club and the land with certain planning permissions must still be worth hell of a lot of money , I do concede that the owners may have no intention of this and will wait forever and a day to sell on the land as a separate entity.
They do own it after all.
The current strategy however doesn’t seem to be met with universal enthusiasm and has one hurdle after another.
I can’t help but think that DB and KT could have walked away having still made a large profit if they’d have sold club and ground as a package the last time we were in league one.
At the end of the day a profits a profit.
My worry to be fair is once the land deal is done and the club is up for sale what is it worth??
Not much imo
The new buyer won’t own the ground and there are little in the way of assets….
Plus who knows the asking price??
It’s all about striking a deal to keep everyone happy and that’s clearly not the case at the moment hence a reevaluation of the land value.
I was only posting a rumour on a transfer rumours page and the reasons I believe it may have legs….
If I owned the club and could do anything to accelerate the land acquisition then I would.
But has as been said before I don’t own the club and it’s the prerogative of the owners to do what they think is best for themselves.
My one wish is that it’s sorted out to the benefit of all concerned.
