Doesn't DC's wife own the company that the ground is regsitered with?

He won`t spend another penny, is my guess, he doesn`t like where the ground is situated, christ with what he`s p#ssed up the wall, we could have upgraded the ground massively Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. Improvements will be probably replacing the Owls seated logo on the Kop with "ELEV8". It's gonna be amazing. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheEnchanter Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 He's got so much money that FFP won't allow him to spend but he also chooses not to spend it on Hillsborough. 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robowl4life Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Tbf what’s the point of doing up the ground until/if we get promoted to PL? I’m all for doing the stadium up but I’m sure you get funding when promoted to update stadium to a certain degree. Surely then would be a better time to update. At the moment we’ve more pressing matters than that... however can’t see why he can’t get a lick of paint on kop. It’s almost turned a Huddersfield blue ffs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kew Owl Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 The odd luck of paint here and there wouldn’t go amiss, but I’d much rather we spent money improving the team than improving the facilities. As the phrase goes, improve the product, not the packaging ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are by all intents and purposes, completely separate entities. If the club is paying rental for the ground, it could be argued that the landlord has a responsibility to maintain the ground in a satisfactory condition.

Don't suppose there's any chance of some sanity on here is there?? Even if it's a teeny weeny miniscule bit of sanity. Even a minimal amount of logical thought (bearing in mind the circumstances) would do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HK entity responsible for ground maintenance. What happens if the club cannot maintain rental payments? Eviction or repossession? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
