back ????? they said you were a strange lot

goodbye

So from the original question the answer is yes! Another one of Teds lap dogs that should resign immediately!

I don't know how you come to that conclusion. Your original statement was with regard to a stadium 'plan B' and as far as I am aware we have a plan B and a back up of C, also we are exploring the possibility of the contingency (would that be D) of staying at Belle Vue a little while longer than first expected.

Not true. You can argue that a deal is not a deal until it's done, but there is and always a plan B and even a plan C - but they cannot be executed until the parameters are known.

Ted / James / a Trust - would all have faced the same situation.

In fairness though TRB, business doesn't work like that; plan B should have been finalised such that, within an hour of the PI being announced, it could be publicised to fans, investors, the governing body etc. That would have steadied the ship and given confidence to everyone with a stake in the club.

Failure to have it ready to roll has, once again, made WTW look like a shambolic and unprofessional outfit; Mr Elston should take responsibility for that. As someone much cleverer than me once said - fail to plan, plan to fail.

surely this debate has been answered, there was only a plan a for the whole club never mind where we play the games, if we do.

Agreed. It appears clear that the club were relying on plan A coming off with no hitches.

The concern about Plan B now surely has to be getting a finalised agreement. If I was Barnsley or whoever else we have been talking to, with the news about our current financial plight, I would have grave reservations about entering into any agreement with us to rent their facilities, as the possibility of owing them money which we end up not being able to pay, would be a real concern.

That's exactly my point; the total failure to have any contingencies in place was a grave and possibly fatal error - someone has to take responsibility for that.

so you agree with everything i have to say then. you just dont want to admit it

I don't see that - the only people upset by events so far are those who are impatient for an answer. We don't need a ground for 12 months; we don't apply for SL for another 2 months and we won't know for another 6 months.

The timescale for having everything in place is the SL licence submission in March. I would hope that any deal would be tied up by then and hopefully some time before - but no-one has died yet so I reckon 'fatal' is a little strong!
