I read into this, and I'm sure Topper will verify, that a new stadium has been given the go ahead with safe standing in 2 of the 4 stands. I read the same but that sausage rolls will have to rise to a fiver to fund it. The first ever Football Stadium made purely out of sausage rolls.

Dear the Al Qadi family , I hope you put your hands into your wallets and break our record transfer fee which is Andy Tilson in 1992 . Another decent striker would be good. Happy new year. Stockley is about to leave Exeter for £750k. Portsmouth appear to be the favourites to sign him. Maybe we could offer £400k-500k and include either Nichols or Payne in the deal? Exeter know Nichols and were keen on him in the summer and Payne is a good L2 goalscorer so maybe one of them could reduce the total cost. £500k is still a big outlay for us, especially as our transfer record is £375k but if seen as an investment, it may very well be worth it if we could get Stockley scoring for us and inch us further away from the relegation zone.

Great suggestion but I can't see it happening. We live in hope though UTG!

Me neither but Coughlan has taken a different approach to DC in terms of his team selection so far, he might differ in his transfer policy too. It's a long shot if names like Preston, Portsmouth and Sunderland are involved, regardless.

Pompey will pay him more and they’ll probably be championship next season can’t see him choosing us.

Happy new year to you and your family too. Still think you talk a lot of sh** and until you deliver fit for purpose training facilities and state of the art stadium will continue to do so.

Nice of WAQ to wish us a happy New year, I too wish him and his family a happy New year.
Now I expect them to make a converted effort to improve communication and be more open and transparent with the fans. We don't need to know the ins and outs, but I feel the board would relieve a hell of a lot of the pressure on themselves if they came out with their vision for the club. If we looking at stadiums, what sort of stadium are they planning, minimum capacity for example, are they looking at multiple sites/options. Why did the so-called previous option fail, at least give us some sort of indication as I can't see any reason for a project that is no longer viable to be kept entirely confidential?
What is happening with the Colony? Why have no plans been released or submitted for approval? What ever happened with the stadium architects, project managers, consultations etc?
Some answers to some of these questions, in some way would give me a lot more confidence in their ability to continue to run our club. Maybe even come out and explain and summarise some of the undeniably good things that they have done. They need to learn serious PR in order to relieve the pressure on them and put themselves in a better light.
I am willing to give them more time, but my patience will be officially expired if come the start of next season we have still not progressed the infrastructure at all. Stadium may take a lot more time, but the training ground just has to start progressing, there's no justification for it not to. Not having the money is no excuse, they made their bed by going public with their ideas for it, now they have to lie in it and get it moving. It's been long enough now.

The release clause is £750k and as Exeter don’t want to sell and currrently don’t need to, anything other than a straight £750k and Stockley is going nowhere.

I still maintain that Wael is a thoroughly decent bloke and that also extends not just at a personal level, but in the honourable way he conducts business in confidence. That might annoy some in the fan base who want leaks and bits of info to raise their own kudos, but a president with those values is a good president.
Happy new year Wael and your family 👍

I think the only places he can go is somewhere that doesn't sync its league with the european calendar, so somewhere like MLS.
