You were talking about this the other week and ended up saying that you weren't fussed about the naming rights or the bond issue, so why bring it up again?I'd just like either naming rights, bond issue or a share issue to come through. We've had what 10 years of playing with one hand tied behind our back. I just want a more level playing field.
As I mentioned before, naming rights will be a very hard sell whilst the stadium is getting negative media coverage (eg. all the delays) and the bond issue won't be sorted until we have a clear picture of the total debt amount and the profitability of the club with the stadium open. These things will not be sorted out for a while so stop using it as a stick to beat Levy with. It's completely unreasonable.
It's healthy to question the board about their actions at times - just don't use things that cannot be solved yet as ammo.
I agree with you about wanting to be on a level playing field. That's what the stadium is long term. It's painful as all hell having to suffer these delays but had we not pursued a new stadium I believe we would have been fighting with an arm behind our backs for years or decades to come.
