I fully agree, can’t believe the consortium have gone into buying the club blind.
If the won’t hand the ground over until FF commences, this scenario could rumble on for a while.

They know the score when it comes to the agreement on the ground, to suggest otherwise is unfair, they’re all successful business men in their own right and wouldn’t be taken in by Ron’s BS.

The issue for me is that us fans haven’t been given clarity on the agreement on Roots Hall. I for one thought the consortium would have full ownership over the ground, I worry with a lease agreement any improvements will only be minor in the short term.
