Thanks for the response - I think it's really important in discussion people maintain respect even if views differ - more from a point of discussion I've answered a couple of points you raised


Problem there is that most fans, rightly or wrongly, are not interested in the finer, more complicated decisions involved in running a football club. Niether right or wrong but the reality is for most fans football is an escape from the pressures of real life and whilst of course want the best for their club have very little real interest in the "running" of the club

If we are signing new players, it doesn't even matter if they are any good, then the vast majority are more than happy.Short term maybe but I think the majority of fans can spot a good versus bad buy pretty quickly

Only when it's too late do they start worrying and interested in what the Trust is going to do to save the club - AGAIN.True although up to now almost too late

The Trust and quite a few fans don't want a mediocre East stand with only 200 extra seats - KT wants this deal so he can get out of town asap and is not interested in anything other than a basic short term deal. The council are somewhere in-between.I think you are being kind to the council - there might be an odd platitude but I see them firmly of the view minimum conditions applied and get the deal done

Please tell us how we get a deal everyone is happy with? Unfortunately I think such a scenario doesn't exist - for years you have been saying KT is only interested in the profits from the land sale (and I would tend to agree that's his primary objective) - so why would he change his objectives now particularly as the council has gone soft on him re conditions   


Just a thought going through my head on the council's approach to this - when the club secured the original leases from the council it was of course an opportunity for the benefit of the club and I'm sure that was the intent of the arrangements although as always details were complex and attached covenants not always clear - but by any definition this was essentially a gift by the council tax payers of the town - with years of inaction and of course the disappearance of the £10 million many would not blame the council for thinking they have done enough for the club. If the current owner is able to present his case (and I'm not saying this is the case) as having made substantial investment to save and then keep the club afloat for 6 years their view may well be we have done enough for the club but we will stipulate the mediocre stand is built, let the businessman recover his investment, have the land utilised and draw a line under the whole story which has never made the council appear in a good light.
