I think he's referring to the Mem in its current state. We will be building four new stands on the site so that's sort of building a new stadium. Interesting that they have experience of hotel management. I doubt Horfield is somewhere that Four seasons would consider a franchise but I'm sure that experience will be useful if the project goes ahead. Assuming what was published is word for word what he said he clearly stated "at the Mem" not "at the Mem unless it's regenerated" or "at the Mem in its present state". But it's obvious what he meant, though, isn't it? We need a new stadium which can hold more people, will encourage more people to come, and will generate much more revenue. It doesn't really matter where, if that can be achieved, right? |

See........all this faffing about doing up the Mem or our players having dinner together after training isn't why people come through the turnstiles. They come to see us win and score goals, regardless of the opposition! Fulham and Blackburn didn't faff about when their chairmen got ambitious; they booted out their managers and got a big name in who could attract big players. I expect us to sign a t least 3 big names in the January window. Remember, you read it here first. |

The one fact you are looking for is Dwaine Sport is not wholly owned by Wael, a second fact is Hani not Wael is Chairman so Wael does not have a free hand I would suggest. At which point do people get the difference between working capital and investment capital? Well if you enlighten us then you won't need to wait much longer. |

It's puzzling why a banking family would even want to buy football club when the vast majority are like money black holes. If Wael had a vast personal fortune and the club was his hobby / play thing, I'd get it. But needing daddy and brother's agreement on every big decision, I just don't see much fun in that for him .. I can't see how this is going to end well for the club: new owners don't have enough money to build a required new ground + realistically we're in too much debt for anyone else to want to take over the reigns (unless the owners are willing to write-off the loan, but why would they?). Still, I suppose there's no point in worrying about something over which we have no control. How many owners of other clubs have actually paid for new grounds or stands to be built without return?
Liverpool, Arsenal, Spurs etc all the money is/was borrowed and it is debt to be serviced.
The Amex was £90m wasn't it. I doubt someone just stumped that sort of money up
Why do people think/expect someone to just pull £50m out of their pocket and not expect it back?
Unfortunately I can think of one and his face is red. |

If the club is loosing money which we are, then someone will need to put money into the club to pay the bills ...no evidence from companies house that this is being done my issuing new shares therefore must be funds advanced through loan account as evidenced by the new charge on the Mem. The Dunfords and indeed Higgs were fans and I had confidence they would not sell the Mem although I was equally worried when the Mem was put up as secutity for the Womga loan. The difference is the Al Quadis' don't have an emotional attachment to the club - Wael unfortunately does not control the purse strings Hani is the Chairman of Dwaine Sports not Wael. And there's still no evidence whatsoever that Hani has said Wael can't spend what he wants. Do you really think Wael can spend the family's money without clearing it with them. You might but I don't I'm afraid. |

I've always been an optimist as far as we're concerned which is quite remarkable considering I've been following my team since 1979 and witnessed through all our troubled times but as of late I'll be honest that I am now feeling jamless from my doughnut as much as it pains me to say I'm not sure how much is left in the tank |

TBH l do not think so, Waq did say evolution not revolution, which generally means, we are going to do **** all, which to date has proved to be the case. |

Can't help but think we have been taken over by Jordanian clones of the previous regime which equates to not even a lot of hot air. |
