You are just guessing that this stadium is going to propel us to greatness. So far all it’s done is be a noose around our neck, and with the interest we’re paying back on it, could continue to be for many decades to come sadly.
I know it’s difficult to continue desperately scrambling around for the last scraps you can find to defend this owner, rather than just swallow a little bit of humble pie and admit you are wrong and he’s the worst owner in English football history. I understand, pride is at stake. It’s never easy.
Worst owner is a stretch. As I’ve said repeatedly if it wasn’t for the sanctions we would have been financially sound. Speak to some clubs whose owners made them essentially cease to exist.
And yes I do 100% believe the stadium is a catalyst for much better things.
All the top mega £ seats sold immediately mostly by the contractors who had first dibs even before the brick work was started. I’m talking the boxes and the lazy boy type seats with tv’s in front of them.
LOR have had no concerns on the completion and they would have put it on hold a while back.
It’s also been constructed as a 7 day a week stadium.
Naming rights, the increase in match day revenue, the regeneration to the area, being a hosting stadium for the euros as one of the first choices (facilities, sustainability, massive fan zone).
Bad choices of management, especially Koeman I definitely hold him or Bill accountable for, especially as Brands wanted Silva then he can be held accountable for.
