This is brilliant. You would never trust this man with a penny having heard that answer.

Geoff T: If there is a new ground who will own it?

Wael: So, these are ongoing discussions and we will work for an agreement that suits all parties 

 Geoff: What would suit you as owner of the football club?

Wael: Getting a new stadium

Geoff: What about the ownership?

Wael: It depends on the details of the negotiation

Geoff: If you don’t own it will it be a long lease?

Wael: the agreement and the details will come out. Ownership and a long lease are the same thing.

Geoff: What’s a long lease?

Wael: In the tens…um hundreds…of years 

 

Absolutely dodgy as ****. You wouldn’t buy a used car off that man and Rovers are sacrificing land they own to bail him out of a speculative deal gone bad. It’s beautiful to see.

Jesus wept. How the hell do they lap him up? He has absolutely no idea what he’s talking about

[CodeRed]

They're all lapping Wael up on their forums.....

Sample post:

"Yes good stuff from Wael tonight, all very positive on and off the field.

 

What a bloke. And a gent too

 

He is very switched on.

 

U p  the Gas, and Up the Wael" 

 

Deluded as usual

So why they wasting monies on increasing capacity at the Mem when they’re saving monies for a new stadium?

That should be interesting 

Nice transition from Flint to Skinflint. Or should that be Flint to Skint?

The answer to that question is - they're too dumb to see what is right in front of them.

I work in a school, and we had 2 old "temporary" buildings which had been there for 20+ years. We were told by the local authority that they were building us a brand new state of the art building to house both rooms in one building, within the next 2 years.

Those 2 old buildings needed so many things doing to them, but we didn't put any money into them - unless it was something essential like new locks or a water heater - because they were being knocked down within 2 years. 

If they're spending more money on the existing pit, even if it's temporary, there is nothing in the pipeline that is remotely serious about a new ground. Also, why increase the capacity, when you're barely hitting the current (reduced) capacity in the first place?

All lip service to keep the happy few on side. They're just too stupid to realise, even after all this time.

[Open End Numb Legs]

Just as a basic principle, I have discovered over a lifetime at work that senior managers and leaders I have worked for had very little talent at anything other than talking a lot, without actually saying anything.

It's going to be a 40,000 seater stadium with unparalleled conferencing facilities right in the centre of Bristol that will blow " Trashton" out of the water and enable them to reach the Premier League within 5 years.......and all paid for by the developer in exchange for the mem. 

I mean what developer would pass up the opportunity to grab the mem site valued at £20m, and only have to spend north of £60m to build this premier ready facility in exchange............. it's a no brainer innit?

What a time to be alive for Gasheads!

[Swede]

Wasn't there money borrowed as a loan taken out against the "stadium" (I use the term in its loosest sense) so any prospective purchaser would also have to pay extra on top to settle this debt?

[Swede]

After selling Eastvile all those years ago to become tenants you would've thought becoming tenants once again would be the last thing they would wish, yet here they are with their trusty Knight with a shiny watch about to sell them down the river before he rides off into the sunset or off to Stamford Bridge to watch his beloved Chelsea, and they lap it up like lemmings, Its laughable.

[RedLionLad]

The man is a serial bullshitter. You could hear the panic in his voice when he couldn’t answer a question honestly.

The money won't be a problem for the 6th richest club remember.

Just wondered what this quote by Wally means.

« We have one of the biggest stadium occupancies in League One this season. «

I am guessing that by lowering the capacity (and still not filling it), he is then using the tried and tested gaslogic, to calculate the percentage figure of how full it has been - basically make it up as you go along to suit and sell this nonsense to the fans, who fall for this stuff EVERY single time. 

[Gazred]

It all just comes back to the same issue, they want a free stadium with a huge lease so the annual rent is as cheap as possible. Practically free in other words, they don't have a pot to piss in.

Which investors are happy to wait 50-100 years for a return on their investment. They could build anything else you would expect on a site like that and make a profit almost instantly.

It's not even a pipe dream, it's just pie in the sky.

I see the Pyongyang Post continue to big it up regardless.

[Swede]

I find it astonishing that they believe anything that King Tin Pot says. How he can continually bullshit his way running that joke football club without anybody demonstrating against this type of ownership is beyond me.

Truth is he got rid of any dissenters a long time ago and there's no one else willing to challenge him. Now he's building a new stand in ten minutes to increase the capacity that he reduced! Its laughable and utterly tin pot.

It's sad really, they are so desperate to sit in a new ground that they are happy to turn a blind eye to little matters like who owns the ground and what the finances mean. It will only be 10 years down the line when they realise they can't raise enough income to compete that the penny will start to drop.

I'd assume that he means as a percentage of the ground capacity (which they've recently reduced for no apparent reason). So by his logic, a team getting 8,000 in an 11,000 capacity 'stadium' has better support then a team getting 21,000 in a 26,500 capacity stadium. It's standard #gaslogic at it's finest.

It's a very similar logic to when they claim that their away support is amazing 'as a percentage of their home support ' which only goes to highlight how bad their home support is.

I will give it to Wally (and the convict too) though, they certainly understand the 15ers fanbase, and play to their delusions on a regular basis.

That’s exactly what it means & is completely misleading.

If Hillsborough can accommodate 30,000 & 25,000 people turn up that’s obviously far better than having a ground which holds 10,000 & 9,000 turn up, but not in his world apparently.

He’s trying to pretend they now need a bigger ground because they almost fill a very small one #gaslogic.

[Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan]

All the Gas need to remember about their supposedly massive and loyal support is that they’ve lowered the capacity of the Mem (which was already a small stadium) and they STILL never fill it.

I don’t know when this came about but it’s all they ever come out with now 

Never mind the actual numbers, never mind the fact that we sell out more away games than they do…..”Gas away support iz better cos our ******* ome support is ******* shit innit you ******* shithead up dA gaz”

Gaslogic.

The only fans in the World who deliberately try to highlight how poor their home crowds are in an attempt to make their mediocre away support look better.

Best bit for me...

"It's still early doors"

If you don't own the ground all non-football related income will go to the Owners.

Completely unsustainable, this has got Coventry Mk 2 written all over it.

[Open End Numb Legs]

If Rovers want to lease it they will need to convince the developers that they are a going concern. If they went bust or back to non league an empty stadium is no use to anyone, hence the thorny issue of capital and whether it would ever get built.

A more solid bet for the developers is an indoor arena with a wide variety of potential customers rather than a single loss making sports club.

A - would love to know what clubs, hardly any in the division would ever need to use them

B - oh yes, most championship clubs have training grounds that require interviews with the media to be done on a bench outside a ramp (with hand painted dark blue rails) in the car park

My mate is a bin man that empties the them  there & at Chernobyl . He said it’s a absolute dump & looks like something a semi pro club would use.
