Quote: PopTart "I get that someone can lie. That's the point.
Why would you make a business decision on just someone's word.
And I can't even guess what reason was suggested for letting someone else buy it. They were never going to sell it to you for the same price.
It's not hindsight. Clearly there must be something else to it but from the info in public domain its a mistake.'"
I get your point but think you’re being a bit naive. The leader of the Coincil and the man with all the power is hardly ‘somebody,.
It’s up to you if you believe me but the advise came from Box as far as I’ve been led to believe. This was in 2016??? So MC was still pretty new and as I say had no involvement in what went before.
I don’t know if he was warned or not. I do know that he has chosen not to take the advice of people like TRB and JS. His choice he doesn’t have too and in a way a fresh approach was probably required. Just my opinion but by 2016 there was just to much bad blood. That said MC should have listened more imho but I’m not him, different folk different stroke.
Down side is that MC and Co could have had no real idea who they were dealing with, I mean most folk would take someone in Boxes position seriously and assume he meant what he said. With Box that belief usually lasts 5 years.
So yes I do see why he didn’t tie up the clubs money on a deal he didn’t think he needed to make.
I can’t remember what ludicrous alternative Box was offering at the time, but he will have sold it well. I and those involved in SWAG cannot undersell Box involvement in the failure of our stadium projects. I can’t be specific because this isn’t a court but I can say for reasons I’ve never been totally sure of he’s thwarted us at every turn and done so with great cunning. He’s outflanked us every time.
I can assure you somewhere somehow he will have a hand in what’s happening now and it’s a tragedy for the city imo.
