Unfortunately the majority of fans still believe that just because the narcissistic wael loves having a selfie taken with them that means he loves our club. How you have not been sussed out for so long is beyond me but welldone, it takes some doing does that Not a week goes by without someone accusing 'Nam of being a red.

So this chap has a fifteen year plan to sort his club out and all is well.
We have owners less than 2 years in tenure and they are to be exorcised, hung drawn and quartered for not doing what he has done. F*ck me you couldn't make it up.
No one, but no one knows what the long term aims of the Al Qadi family is with regards to this football club.
Like many others I am tiring of the utter bolloxs that is extolled on these pages without any credible evidence being presented, life is too short to attempt to debate it anymore.

Yeah, I was wondering about that. Those guys take over ten years to get a new stadium, and they're hailed as achievers. Our guys have had 4 months since the UWE thing, and are therefore charlatans. Those guys have vision and determination and spent ÂŁ15M and are in the bottom half of the conference.

If you have lots of facilities like restaurants ,cafes , conference rooms ,bars ,gyms even apartments and hotels tied into a site. It is probably far better to tag all that onto a small club. For example ...say Paulton Rovers. With all those facilities and a nice 4500 stadium the club with some good infrastructure and players will rise through the leagues. The income from all the extras is then easily enough to compensate for smaller crowds at games. Keeping the club at conference or league one or two then can be a very sustainable business. Building from scratch can be good. Clubs like Rovers whilst having established crowds and higher league status also have lots of expensive baggage and little income streams.

Couldn't we do something like that The irony now is that student accommodation has gone nuts. Had all that stuff worked out in 2008, the developers would be raking it in (and so would we, presumably).

Not Rovers related, but an interesting article on AFC Fylde who are now in the conference. Huge investment by the owner in the team and ground which is now reaping rewards and a great example of speculating to accumulate within football. I know the costs are higher for us, but having the vision and determination to fulfilment is key and part of that is dillydallying about when it comes to facilities which will bread results. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41926607 Unfortunately, it is all too easy to compare chalk and cheese when you have blinkered eyes

Will need to upgrade Disabled facilities soon to comply with current legislation so hope at least one new stand might incorporate this and begin the revamp sooner rather than later.Visited Derby County recently with a group of disabled fans and the information we were given about how they have had to comply even with their fab set -up was amazing.Perhaps Championship clubs have stricter regulations than Div 1 and 2?

Interesting that the owner had a 15 year plan and a plan for the way forward is exactly what we lack. Hamer and the new FD need to set out a plan for the way forward for Hani and Wael to consider, it might take time but without a clear direction the club will have no direction. Someone at the club needs to get down to work now and get things moving and a clear direction agree by owners and management. Cannot just let things drift and hope for the best. Come on Hamer off your *ss and start things rolling. The original plan (as far as us fans were concerned) was obviously to save the Club from extinction and then progress and build a stadium at UWE. From DS viewpoint it was to build a sustainable Club and a stadium at UWE with income generating facilities (car park, hotel etc) attached. UWE saw the opportunity to have on campus an income generating sports facility plus carpark for its students. Unfortunately, DS and UWE plans after 18 months of negotiation proved to be non-compatible which means only the first part of the fans plan has been met so far. However, DS has started to grow the background of a sustainable Club by progressing the youth and Academy and now have to come up with an alternative plan for generating an income and a stadium. The appointment of a commercial director is a start and those who are patient rather than destructive will wait for DS to come forward with a revised plan in due course.

What's the plan with the training ground then? DC has alluded twice now that he has doubts it will happen.

Why do they, what info have you been given that's the case as there's zilch info coming out of the ALQ's or Wael since his last interview post the UWE announcement, even DC now sounds like he's had enough of them.

Imagine the uproar on here from some if Wael came out saying that he has a 15 year plan!

Imagine the uproar on here from some if Wael came out saying that he has a 15 year plan! But we're not playing grass roots football, if he said a 15 yr plan to get to the Premiership and the next 5 would be spent completely rebuilding the Mem and The Colony starting this summer I sense most fans would buy into that, all we've get through is complete silence apart from a bizarre interview about buying Newcastle.
