Why would they walk away, theres no money in it in the short term. If they was really just after a quick buck by building a stadium so they could build there profit next to It they wouldn't be investing in other areas of the club like the training ground, squad etc. Maybe this needs to be asked at the forum tonight of what there long term plan is. Tiger has already said that Oxford is a well known city across the globe and that's why he bought us not any other league 1 or 2 team.
Nnngh! You wrote "The investors have said that the retail units, flats, houses, hotels will be payed for and owned by them. This will offset the cost to build a stadium and
be gifted to the club. "
This thread has been the most ostentatious effusion of speculative fart on any football forum in the known universe ever, most of which has been empty-headed optimism warmed gently over a cauldron of hope and consumed with the sweetest candy-floss. Perhaps it was the notion of the investors making a
gift*, although that's not the least realistic hope expressed it inspired a vision of Hans Geisecke (whatever) saving squirrels from under the wheels of municipal vehicles, or Zaki Nuseibah (ditto) saving butterflies from being broken on a wheel. So sorry for that, but you essentially said they'd walk away and I said they won't.
The best that can happen in this most Voltairean of all possible worlds, is that they link the club entity with the hotel-owning, ground-owning, money-making entity in some perpetual(ish) manner that the club benefits from the erm synergies even should they (the investors) lose interest in their train set footy team as they (investors) mostly do.
Will that do?
