The future faced by our club - and lets never forget its our club - is uncertain and there will no doubt be some difficult times ahead but the discussions here show that it is obvious that there are many intelligent fans with a variety of different points of view but in the end we are united by...

Its only a gamble if you cannot afford to service that debt - Man Utd have massive debts but due to their huge profits can afford that debt. I would have to assume that for the Swansea board, which includes the Swans Trust, they felt that it was worth the investment.

If you are talking future owners I would happily agree that any deals are possible but I would rather the football club concentrated running the football club and left it to a third party (ACL, IEC or even someone like AEG) to run the stadium. By owning half of ACL (which any new owner would do...

The Trust is not saying we copy the Swansea model, though I would be quite happy with their success, or the Pompey model or anyone elses model because every clubs circumstances are different and what we are working towards is a Coventry model to take into account our unique circumstances. But if...

The charity 50% is available to the club at a fixed formula up until 2015 (I believe) but in these days I am sure they would be open to a deal as they want to get the money out and put it to use for their charitable efforts and not be tied up earning nothing at the Ricoh. The problem is that...

I am saying the exact opposite - if the clubs very future financial stability revolves around a bit of extra f&b then we are in trouble. The biggest problem we have is a wage bill that outstrips our income and the gap is far bigger than the £250k. All this is a bit of a red herring and certainly...

In a championship season £1m approx, due to lower attendences and sales this year it would have been about £650k.

Grendel - the Donny example is interesting. Donny council did indeed hand over the running of the stadium to the club but the main motivation for the council in this was that the stadium was running at a huge loss and this way they handed that liability to the club, despite what has been written...

Instead of giving up just explain? There are plenty of clubs who don't own their stadiums, what we have is a bad deal here and need access to the revenues which we don't have at present.

Are you therefore suggesting that the council should simply hand the club the stadium for nothing? If they did that would be fantastic but in the real world is that likely, let alone legal? And just so I am clear about this are you talking about being handed ACL for free or the freehold?

The question wasn't about the level of the rent, although I agree we should always strive to get as low a rent as possible for the good of the club - the questions was about ownership. My premise is that stadium ownership is not intrinsically necessary for financial stability. The importance is...

Can someone explain why it is vital to own the stadium? Surely what is vital is to have access to the revenue streams and have a good working relationship with the stadium operators/owners.
