If ACL is doing far better without the club and all the customers it brought around every other week, then they should help finance the new stadium to make sure the club doesn't come back to disrupt their improved business case.
I'm sure they didn't say they are doing better without the club because that would be stupid !!
They would have said they can now manage without the club which is different.
I believe they also said that they want the club back and I guess thats still the case.
On the unlikely event that another customer could be found I guess they would have to reconsider waiting for the club.
