I agree with you GrimPol - concentrate on improving the team - but with lots of Phases improving Blundell Park running concurrent.
This ensures the paying fans are not displaced and Blundell Park remains the spiritual home - simples.

We have proper audited and responsible Directors in charge, with proven high level business records in place.
If the money isn't right, they will know.
If the external business back up isn't there, then it won't happen.
Getting rid of THAT debt, and higher volume home crowds will both assist a speedier training ground firstly, and then look at the future or demise of Blundell Park.
No false promises, fiscal economy with the boardroom expertise in external and national projects, and a good slow sustainable set of progress both on and off the field.
Fans will probably want more of finance and field success, and faster, but this club needs to be financially safe for the next 25 years, not implode like the near neighbours could by season end.

For some, they can’t see beyond spending every last penny on playing budgets and ‘on the pitch’ ideas, ignoring the fact that training facilities and coaches etc tie in with that. These guys won’t spunk club funds chasing something that only serves to make them a rich. They’ve delivered on various projects in their careers, far bigger and successful than the previous custodians. They’ll do it when the time so right. Sadly, for some fans they can’t see past a squad of players, they need to though because just spunking cash on players doesn’t make the club sustainable or provide future, whatever their opinion… |

Think you might be doing him a disservice here. The bloke runs a firm that have invested over £4bn in various projects over the past 18 years, and is responsible for raising the capital to do so.
In this regard, Petit and Fenty aren’t even in the same galaxy.
If the major problem we have is finding the funding to finance a small to medium sized development project then, ye know….
Which company is this? He has 440 appointments on companies house, I assumed the one I'd heard of would be the biggest, but maybe there's a bigger one? |

He used to be high up at a company called Lehmann Brothers if you've heard of them? |

Fans wanted Fenty out, he sold up and the new owners are now in charge. Fans wanted "investment" but meant " loads of free money" to pay high wages for great footballers, and a new stadium. What you have got is a glass fence so you can see the touchline and a promise of a new training ground. Sounds fair to me, for why would someone spend his/her hard-earned money for you to sit in a soft seat watching overpaid footballers in a high tech stadium for a £15 ticket? Let's be honest the new owners had to pass the " fit and proper person" test. Well, that is contradictory, as there must be something wrong with you to buy a football club in the first place unless you really have deep pockets like a Russian/Arab/Far East Asian with bags of dodgy money.
I think these guys are doing fine, they are investing in the team which is most important, and will run the club so we don't go bust.
So unless someone comes up with a big chunk of money to build a stadium for GTFC it's tired, decrepit, lipstick on a pig Blundel Park for the foreseeable future.
Quite ironic given your comments on the ‘incoming striker’ thread. |

He knows that Ska. He’s just being deliberately obtuse.

I know the bank went bust but that doesn't mean everyone who worked there was useless does it? Unless of course he was in charge of their sub-prime mortgages in particular... |
