I think we are all happy NH and his board have been replaced by Wael and better proven directors, the Sainsbury saga is ended, we're debt free and the team are in good form, but why is Wael looking for investors to fund the stadium (thought he was loaded) and what's happening with the UwE build / contract / capacity - could we fill anything bigger than 20k. Also slightly uncomfortable with the crowd love-in for Wael on match days. Perhaps I'm just used to it being all doom and gloom and being pessimistic by nature. Anyone else have concerns?!?

I think every Gashead has his concerns but we're definitely in better shape than we were a couple of months ago on the field and off it so we've just got to get on with it and go on the ride. Just because his family is rich that doesn't mean they know how to run a football club. Time will tell.

No real concerns at the moment, think you will find all new Stadiums that are built if the owner is loaded or not usually have extra backing from other sources, also regarding the love in with new owners still honeymoon period and time will tell, all depends on what is delivered lets wait and see and hope they are as genuine as they say i think (hope) they are because the s*it could really hit the fan if not. UTG !

For once the team is least of my worries.

Yes, can fully understand the negativity. After all, we were promoted last year, got a good chance of it happening again, have got new owners who probably saved us from administration and paid off our debts, got the UWE firmly in our sights, selling out the Mem, selling out away allocations right, left and centre, and even selling out beam backs.
sh** isn't it!!

Most clubs have good times and bad times, at the moment times are good. No doubt one day we'll all be moaning like f**k blaming sh** managers and so on. That's football.

I don't understand the scepticism and also expectation that things will go wrong. About time we started believing a bit more that our club can now achieve what it wants and is in safe hands. The positivity around the club since the Al Quadis has been incredible and loving being a part of it.

I thought this so did some research into it. Turns out that some of the richest people in the world still borrow to finance large protects/purchases. Mark zuckenberg has a mortgage on his 5 million dollar home despite having wealth of 14 billion. Why? Pretty much down to good business sense. When you have that sort of wealth you have access to better rates of finance, generally under 1% which is less than inflation. So instead of losing 5 million in cash which currently earns 10% per annum on the stock market, he essentially borrows the money for free as his 500 grand profit his 5 mil makes each year covers the mortgage payments. To put this into perspective, wael parting with 30 million for the build stops him earning 3 million per annum in interest. 3 million that would easily cover finance payments from investors. Essentially the stadium gets built for free.

It's odd how the good times have come on & off the pitch at the same time, it's almost as if a big cloud has been lifted. It's now down to the Al-Qadi's to ensure the feel good factor lasts in order to keep the club moving in the right direction.

Something like a 40% stake in a bank as security to access said finance!

let's roll with it.
it is bizarre being happy but it kind of feels good...if a little weird...like the time someone flashed me as I was driving. A lady I hasten to add...
and as someone wrote, let our expectations rise. we could be a lot better and higher than we have been, and our statistical and historic position is top half of Lge 1, so let's get back there, then see what else can happen.
years of sh** have depressed people so much our expectations truly did fall so low. Buckle will NEVER live that quote down, even though he was right in some sense.
