Having had a few days to think about the Clubs decision to pull out the UWE stadium plan, I cannot but feel that our behavior is no better than sainsburys dropping out 2 years ago,
I always thought we were better than them, . Today I'm not so sure. I only hope the decision proves to be the right move in the long term,
I hope we hear some positive news in the near future, Otherwise we have wasted a lot of time and money.

To the best of my knowledge we did not even sign a contract. Until a contract is signed generally you can drop out when you like. If the deal was not right (we do not know) the board had a duty (both morally and legally) to pull the plug.

The reaction to the stadium news has shocked me more than the news itself!
I'm not sure if its just pure frustration or a lack of business knowledge or just straight up anger. Why would a company sign a contract for something they dont want? This is essentially the issue one would imagine. UWE were dictating terms, we didnt like them or agree so walked away. Its a simple commercial decision.
Imagine you go to a shop for a broom, you pick one out, go to pay (create a contract) and the shop owner says "ahhh well you can have the broom but ill rent you the handle, and you cant use it on sundays or tuesdays, and you cant use it to brush up leaves, only household sweeping." If you want a broom to brush up leaves on a sunday you arnt going to buy that broom under those conditions. So why would our owners for a £30m deal.

I don't know what the terms of any contract with UWE were, or migrated to, or what the stcking points were. Neither, I think, do any of the people discussing its merits. All I know is that agreement wasn't reached in 18 months by two parties who presumably (given they spent 18 months on it), wanted it to happen. So any who's right and who's wrong is white noise. That one party blew the whistle on it, after 18 months of non-resolution, doesn't seem outrageous, though.
Sure, it's disappointing, but hey. It doesn't prove that anyone's a charlatan or make every other initiative null and void.
As for it firing the starting pistol for 'the Internet is full of people repeating what they've seen on the Internet' (but nothing's ever first-hand) and concluding that 'this absolutely proves that the Earth is about to implode - FACT', I'll leave them to it.

I agree - given that there was a finite deadline for when this *had* to be announced (January at the latest), I can't help but feel that this would have been better being stage managed correctly and for the football club to have had time to formulate their response and new strategy. As it is, two days after the decision was formally taken, some idiot from within the club has leaked it to a mate who has spilled it all over Facebook, forcing the club into a rushed response. Whoever leaked it should be fired tbh. The reaction from has been disastrous from a PR point of view. |
