Is this a deliberate own goal (1 Viewer)

[shy_tall_knight]

Former company I worked for was taken over by a hedge fund there were many things but stupid, didn't like them but respected them as determined ruthless business men. Today's announcement looks so silly that I am thinking it was done deliberately to look silly. Told a colleague that we have produced the plans for a new stadium and his first question was "where", we have a lawyer employed to gauge fans opinions less than a week ago and they are already printed the design. Mark L flounders on the radio when challenged with obvious questions.

There are plenty of conspiracy theories around don't want to add to them but this is such a bad own goal.

Quite.

Still, works as a negotiating tactic eh.

Ticks all the right boxes for the football league so buys time and FL goodwill (and made publically and nationally in the press)

It wont have cost much in the scheme of things and all options are still open

Some waivering fans will buy in to it so the fan base continues to be split and opposition remains a little muddled

It might even be thought by the club to increase ACL's worries, ML seemed to try hard to focus some oh his comments on CCC & ACL

A seemingly failed bit of PR to a lot of fans................ but stupid the owners of CCFC are not

But it can't be used as a negotiating tactic if everybody knows the reason.

Indeed, and worth highlighting again.

Some of the most fatal errors in this have been assuming they're a bit thick...

PR stunt to make them look good to the vast majority of the country who don't know the full story !! Don't forget only a few weeks ago they looked very bad for suggesting taking their own fans to court,now its the fans who appear to be in the wrong as Sisu are wanting to build us a new stadium despite us boycotting "home" games !!! They are playing us against people who don't know the bigger picture !!!!

That's a very good point actually. However anyone who dug even skindeep into the matter would quickly realise what a farce this all is.
