You could try asking him

 

How's he going to make money from a club with a smallish fan base and no assets?

 

Surely &pound;20 mill is enough to buy the club, its stadium, Academy ground, car parks and a bit of land and return them all to the Clubs ownership ?

 

There is money to be made

What about little stalls set outside the ground selling all in one 'Souness Hair and Tache Face Masks' ?

 

RE: There is money to be made

Possibilities are endless. Just takes people with vision.

 

maybe but how are you going to get a return on that without selling the land for housing? We know what happened when someone last suggested that.

 

Doesn't have to be housing - Oakwell Community Developements or whatever they are called seem to want to build houses, but I'm sure you'd get approval for developement sympathetic to the Football Club - esp if they ever build that link road from Harborough Hills through to Pontefract Road.

 

what sort of development would that be? Was a sad day when they built on that wood beihnd the East Stand. Lost count of the number of broken ankles on their after dark

 

Haven't a clue but an esteemed local Journalist told me that when previous owners of BFC had enquired about developing they had been told that approval would only be given for developement &quot;sympathetic&quot; to the football club whilever there was a Football Club at oakwell.

 

The only "sympathetic" devt I can think of are leisure facilities and there's shedloads of them already

 

Aye. Still, with BMBC owning 50% of OCD wotsit I think and not stating as fact, they should know what will go where.
