So I'm sure I'm not the only one who is really confused by the events of the last 24 hours. What do you suppose is the real purpose behind what has happened? Who do you trust most - UWE, Hamer, the Al-Qadi's?

Hamer is working for the Al Qadis, surely you realise that, he's not coming out and saying anything that they don't want him to, so if you don't trust him then you can't trust them.

Last one, cant comment about the leaky bogs in the East stand, but going by the rest of the ground I don't doubt it!

If there is any hope of restarting negotiations and we could still get a deal that suits all then go for it. Sounds to me the UWE may still be up for it we could even have a bit of an upper hand you never know .This could turn out to be disastrous for our club if we don't get a new stadium and soon!I'm sure DC woulldnt have signed a five year deal if he thought this sh** was on the cards

Perhaps the owners inherited a flawed UWE project from the old board that they weren't prepared to spend their money on and needed to totally renegotiate the whole deal. What if Higgs and Co had been taking the club down the path of a bad deal of Coventry proportions, leaving the new owners the job of untangling a mess that was not in the clubs interest?
We are now under ownership of business people in a completely different league.
Sounds to me like they have tried to pull the deal around in the clubs favour, not got what they felt was the right deal, put their demands on the table and said take it or leave it, our way or the highway.
If so, we are in good hands.

Surely it for the Al Qadi's to set out their plans rather than leave us guessing their intentions.

Perhaps the latest news is throwing down the gauntlet to UWE to get what the club wants. If that's true, of course the Al Quadi family don't shout it to the press from the rooftops. |

I do wonder what harm the leak caused , without it who knows how this would play out. No way in my eyes was this meant to break now and Hamers rushed response a sad result. Very bad day at the office. Loose lips sink ships etc. I think Wael will stay and still think he'll pull something off, but the honeymoon period is certainly over |

What if wael has some money but not as much as hani? What if waels dad is really his brother? And where's waels mum? I mean she's very quiet.. very suspicious.

What do you suppose is happening?
Wael is quite rich and committed to the club.
The family is very rich, have little interest in the club other
than as a possible investment opportunity.
They know people who are very very rich but couldn't give a
toss about the club and want cast iron guarantees about any investment.
UWE want a stadium but don't want to hand it over lock, stock and barrel.
I'm just off now to read 'The Emperor's New Clothes' once more.

Completely confused. One of the TV interviews with the UWE chap showed that he was surprised that the Rovers has stopped the negotiating. He considered
That although the negotiations were slow there was nothing to indicate the intention to pull out. Please, UWE or Rovers spokesman, tell us the truth.
I remember reading the profiles of the Chairman and other appointees when the club was bought. Their was some negativity then regarding their CV's and
Previous club commitments. Hope I'm wrong.

Maybe I'm a rose tinter or a ted but having supported the club for years I can't believe the negativity around these last couple of days. If we'd gone with a deal that suited UWE and not us we'd be selling the family silver to go and live in someone else's back yard I'm amazed people can't see that even though I respect that they're desperate for a new stadium. |

There are Bette options? Davis, Midler or Driver ? I'm hoping Midler ...at least she's still alive.

Would you want to deal with a vice chancellor who is very economic with the truth on live TV
No thanks
best thing we ever did was to get rid of this money grabbing charity
Forge our own destiny is the best way

This ^ Two different projects though, one funded by Sainsburys silly money this one by investors, starting to think its brinkmanship by the ALQ's, but whether we can still agree a deal is any bodies guess. If not we could be in for a long wait for a decent stadium. |

There's not really. There is a bit of disappointment, maybe a feeling of another false dawn. Any negativity is actually a handful of individuals posting their hypothesis on social media and generating ill feeling. I had a few pints through KWood high street yesterday and spoke to quite a few(10/15) people and nobody was overly concerned and are looking forward to the season. There seems to be a little concern about DC though. 'Hello' if any readers recognise my post from yesterday's conversations!  |
