Here's my slant on it and totally my opinion, the only deal that can be brokered is a new lease (Kassam will not sell, plainly obvious) with caveats, caveats something like the stadium company needs to spend a wedge on a fourth side and basically doing it up, the club needs to maximize revenue so they get the conf / concourse revenue etc...
I would guess the stadium company needs to spend around £10 Mill.
Kassam in return gets a big long lease with addition of some carrot waving written into the lease like after so many years he gets £££'s or hike in the rent or if we hit the promise land £££ Kassam gets a little bonus and as he still owns the stadium. Should the club attract a wealthy individual he is quids in. Oh and no doubt he will get to keep his name on the stad.
All complete pie in the sky stuff I know, but I can see the owners holding out, they are not cash rich and the model shows it. Not disagreeing as if you are losing money under the present situation you do what you have to to try and balance the books which is admirable. At least we have the basics of a good training facilities and a reputation to enhance anybody's career when loaned out from high or talent from below..
We just need that next step up and it all hinges on the stadium as it has always been, devil will always be in the detail. It is time to change the tact with Kassam and start wooing him and the only wooing he likes is the carrot of the £££ and his name in lights..
However you are going to look at it Kassam in my opinion is not going anywhere soon..
