As much as I admire it's honesty, I can't help feeling that it would have been better to sleep on it. That's an olive branch with thorns, an attack on the two of the groups we rely on to produce it.

When you have ploughed tons of cash (not to mention unpaid man hours) I would assume
I would feel the same as MC and CB. Money talks and they have spent a bloody lot of it!

If anything that's arguably one of his most concrete ideas. His numbers might not add up when he's costed things like scrapping tuition fees by increasing corporation tax without considering the harmful effect Brexit will have on those receipts, but he says he will fund the £250 billion investment by borrowing. It's not exactly difficult for a country to borrow that kind of money.

I don't dispute that, and I don't for one moment believe they are wrong in what they say, just the wisdom of saying it. Sleeping on it and sending a warm email conveying the same offer, regardless of whether they mean the warmth, might achieve a better outcome.
It sounds also like the determination to control revenue streams might be one of the thorny issues. The club needs it. The question to ask is if that is one thing that won't be guaranteed, who is intended to make the profit?

Agreed, gets pretty tiresome moderating this board these days.

Borrow more money, I thought the Labour Party chastised the tories for not reducing the deficit - talk about cake and eat it.
Anyway it's not worth arguing over because even if it did happen somehow we'd miss out

I agree. I don't think MC and CB could have done more for this club and they are seen to be the problem?? I wouldn't trust SRW as far as I could throw him. This whole situation STINKS! How can you possibly deliver a stadium for which Trinity are anchor tenants without engaging with the owners of the club.

My initial post was to do with the stadium, Vastman chose to reply with some utter rubbish which I naturally had to correct. I'm happy to leave it now.

I don't read the statement as an attack at all. MC is stating that his and CB's interests have always been and will continue to be in the clubs best interests. It's a bold statement saying go on if you say you can sort this stadium I won't be accused of getting in your way.
The council, developer & SRW have a month now to put their money where their mouth is and sort out the stadium once and for all.
I applaud MC for this he is clearly a man of integrity, unfortunately I do not have the same faith in the other parties.

I must stress that I don't disagree with a word of it, and you can see the frustration and emotion in every sentence.

I know it's sickening. Why can't we ever enjoy a season without lurching from one crisis to another

It looks like Michael is coming to the end of his tether to me. That, combined with the fact that this will now need YorkCourt and Walker to back track and deal with the original Trust, does not give me much hope
