Club, ground and training ground should all be owned by same entity.

I didnt hear him say it but presumably rather than a threat it would just be an acknowledgment of what a fucking shitshow we have been dealing with here for years

I guessed that but didn't want to fuxk up my reply ..
So is he saying that once they aquire it , it should stay that way ?
Does he think they are going to get it ?
Not sure why he'd say it
Off to buy champagne
Wow I've jumped the gun
Didn't hear that bit but he did say we really should be playing at home.

Id guess he’s saying “this is a load of shit that never would have happened if the club owned the ground”. And he’s not wrong.

The opposite of that I’m afraid

MR sounded fed up and he’s absolutely right a club and the ownership of stadium & training ground should be part of the “golden share”.
Lets hope our government doesn’t cave in to the corporates & bin the independent regulator, who would introduce this!

Think the ownership comment may have been aimed at the council?
Worrying if so…

I wish he'd just come out and say it. I know he mentions the depth etc but just come out and make it clear that the ownership isn't supporting him.

We did own it originally but had to sell our rights to it when we ran out of dosh - the real issue was that the club was losing millions per year, paying wages we couldn't afford whilst taking on a project far too big for us. What's really needed is some sort of regulation to prevent such disastrous owners running clubs in that way.

Oddly, Wasps might be saying this verbatim in a few weeks time….

He says this in the second half of the prematch interview on iFollow. After CWR have done their bit an Irish interviewer has 20 mins and Robins talks about the golden share and ground then.

Yep, the place is a poisoned chalice. Everything/everyone coming near it crumbles to dust. CCFC, Sisu, the council, Wasps and probably loads of others - it's been a disaster and the root cause is the crap location and the existence of bigger/better arena competitors in Brum.
It wouldn't be so bad if it was cursed or built on an Indian burial ground or something because we could get an exorcist in.....it'll take much more than that to turn the CBS into a success.

Robins did at least used to be on good terms with Seppalla, from what we can tell even as recently as May/June.
That even he is now completely fed up says everything.

I’m not sure if the quote isn’t more aimed at the Council rather than Joy.
A bit of pressure to ensure that the club gets the stadium.
Can’t see MR going against Joy - not seen so before even when situation worse.

Did he not say he’d been told that fresh investment was coming in the summer?

Could easily have been a message to the council. At least regarding the stadium situation.

Should not be allowed, and not restricted to football. Sport teams are community assets and should be ring-fenced imo

More to the point what him ,staff,players have been dealing with.

The powers that be, whatever happens, they should facilitate that and allow us to continue to play our games here because anything else is detrimental. The players, the staff, the club have been punched around far too long, the club should never be allowed to be separated from their stadiums or their training grounds and it should all go hand-in-hand with your golden share to play in the league, that's my opinion.
That's the quote, not 100% clear if he is talking about ownership of stadium in this aspect or just more protection should be put in place to stop rogue owners or unreasonable landlords causing issues with the stadium.
Saying it should be linked to the golden share. This can only be enforced by the Football League, so if a team was forced or chose to leave the stadium the football league would remove the golden share and disqualify them. We know the football league won't do this as seen by Northampton and Birmingham

It reads to me that his personal opinion is that all football clubs should be linked via their golden share to their stadium and training ground permanently. I dont think it is a comment specific to our owners. In reality I am not sure how it could ever be achieved in this country

I totally agree, owners are putting the long term futures of clubs at risk.
Ironically Financial fair play rules could be part of the problem as they don't insure that all a clubs assets are ring fenced under 1 management company.
