I've known Chris Brown for the best part of 50 years, and he is not into bullsh*t. He has stated what was told to him and sadly it matches what I have heard over the last week or so. For some time now, Hani has had the contract to complete on the stadium, and I'm talking weeks. For whatever reason, he has just not signed it. Whichever way the truth now is, one thing is for sure. The club will now have to issue a statement clarifying what is going on from their point of view. This should keep OTIB going for another 300 pages.

Sat here in Spain and I can confirm my source over here has confirmed this news, I don't know what the news is as too busy enjoying myself, but thought I'd take 5mins out to confirm it is/isn't happening and all is well/everything's gone to sh**. UTG

I don't see how this could be "the worse possible news"
I'd assumed UWE was dead months ago so it's hardly a crushing blow to finally find out what we all already knew.

Shock horror, can anybody really say they thought the UWE would be built, we thrive from adversity, back to the football.

The thought of us being that close to sealing the deal and throwing it away at the last second makes me feel physically sick.

You have to trust the owners to do what is best for the club so we shall see I suppose🙏

UWE has always been "believe it when I'm sitting in it" - for me. I'm more worried about mention of unpaid bills and solicitor's letters.

Chris Brown wrote 'Bovver', life as a Tote Ender in the days of Ska and Blue Beat. If he's saying something I'd listen.

Seems to be a lot of people acting like spoilt kids, I'd like to know all the internal business of the club as much as the next gashead, but that isn't the way a professional organisation operates.
When there is some news we'll hear it, if the uwe deal is ditched then I believe that'll be for the best.
Would you like it if the club was run like Peterborough?

The UWE potentially falling through is not a surprise. But if the UWE was to provide the income streams to carry the club forward in a more sustainable manner then the concern would be that without that the family are not prepared to carry the losses of the club indefinitely, if at all any more.
That is absolutely 100% conjecture on my part and has no basis in fact. But ever since we started upping the level of spending and increasing the debt associated with the club there has been a danger that this scenario could play out. Someone has to pay the piper at some point in time...
Hopefully it's all total garbage.

The family knew what was going on when the club was taken on and paying for a stadium was never going to be cheap. Will have to see what comes out from the club.
