Quoted from Rik e B
Burns just summarised that Shutes getting his ducks in a row with regards to the redevelopment and stadium - seems the docks the likely location. The price has been agreed but the board want to see he has the funds should the Club hit a sticky patch on the field.


What the? the only money coming into the club now is from the fans and the TV deal!

Better marketing, running of the club and people returning (like my Dad) who have decided not to go with Fenty and Co in charge will only with increase our revenue greatly in any case.

So to summarize (my interpretation) Fenty is delaying the takeover because of a hypothetical doomsday scenario....FFS.  

EDITED

Having now read the transcript of Fenty's interview on the telegraph it is clear (as per Fenty's comments) that the EFL are still to be satisfied regards funding as well. I wonder if the Bury and Bolton situations mean the EFL are going to apply extra scrutiny at this current time? Which could explain why things are being delayed.

The most alarming statement for me was Fenty still proposes Peakes Parkway would be the best location for the new stadium. He mentioned it twice and sounded dismissive of all other options. The problem is as head of regeneration he will have sway in this area.

He’s busy with funky furniture and palm trees so shouldn’t be a problem

Don't you think though with what is going on with Bury and Bolton, having proof of funds is important?

To Pass the FL fit and proper funds test they will need to prove funds are available in case of a downturn in revenue anyway. This is what the issue is at Bury at the moment,

Spending within your means is more important, which the two you have mentioned are not and they could keep spunking money into a bottomless pit, and it would still end up the same situation regardless of proof of funds!

“A society grows great when old men plant trees in whose shade they know they shall never sit”

Fair play to Fenty. He’s building a 75ft tree and it should be up by Christmas. Not only will Fenty be able to sit in its shade, but he’ll be able to use it for light when it’s illuminated at night time.

Of course it is. But the point I was making is why does Fenty want assurances on funding in the event of a decline on the pitch. (Bearing in mind we have had basically nothing but bloody decline since he took over)?

What proof would he have that Shutes would spend any money in that event anyway?

He cannot get him to guarantee that "in the event of relegation to the NL I will ensure any shortfall in funding from the FL will be provided".

It just smacks of the sort of attitude he has always held, that he has done a great job and probably whoever comes along could not possibly achieve as much as he has. Pretty much assuming that under new leadership we will be relegated to the NL again. Despite the fact that as a footballing team you have to be monumentally excrement to get relegated from L2 as we have witnessed once before.
