Yes the council can easily borrow the money, but Leeds have a good credit history and a sound business plan. Do you or WT? The council would be left with the debt if things go wrong.

If you have such a great plan , surely you can raise the money via a bank?

Would you accept a proposal where the council fund a stadium and retain ownership (like Salford)? I believe you have said you wouldn't and for good reason!

You know the reasons why the council cannot do as you suggest, as you are a clever business man who has worked wonders.

WT has been conned by a grubby developer, a con man and an incompetent council and that is your ,pitch to the RFL later.. RL is a sport. It is not about crowds, facilities or politics it is a game played between 2 teams of 13 people! This year you have been quite good at it!

Put our stadium issues as peanuts then

I agree completely - although it gives me no pleasure.

what pevs me of is LEEDS have got a new stand because yorkshire c c are improving there ground worth 10 millions plus yet yorkshire c c are millions in det

To answer your question then NO.

Maybe because they know that Yorkcourt have no intention of building/funding a stadium and equally the Council have no intention of making them comply with the planning consent (i.e. Newcold) so they already know the consequences of borrowing the money.

If they had any intention of seeing a stadium built and felt that Yorkcourt would fulfill the promise they made at the PI then Michael's offer is a good one.

And me neither, but I'm so frustrated.
