Going back to my previous post, Ill clarify it by saying that I just dont trust FK. Over the years, to me at least, its been proved over and over again that when it comes to the welfare of the club, his actions do not warrant any trust.
As for a new stadium, of course the new owners are going to expect a return. Theyre not a charity, nor have they arrived due to some long standing passion for OUFC. But Im sure that they could still treat the club with more respect and fairness than FK has. A new complex where they take the income from leisure and retail units, while the club reaps any income from the stadium itself, including conference facilities and concessions etc for example. Even if there is a rent to pay by the club, it would still be a more beneficial situation. It might be whats required to get the local authorities on board as well. Especially if theres unrestricted access to the stadium facilities for local community projects, charities and clubs. The owners have already proved that they are receptive to supporting the local community with the training ground complex. Did FK ever really show the same willingness to build links like that?
