Eric - Who did the Master ask if he doesn't know who owns the ground? It's my point exactly. No-one pays 7 figures per annum to loan a ground "with a view to making a purchase" whilst also making significant investment in the infrastructure without knowing who sits behind the mysterious ownership.
It would be commercial suicide.
£15m seems to be low given the amounts spent thus far but I rather think its a figure that Bates can use when justifying the lack of investment in the team whilst maintaining high admission prices.
As for the comments regarding Bates-bashing, if I thought he was doing a sterling job with all the transparency other clubs seem to have then I would back him unreservedly. Indeed I felt that we had a real chance to progress believing Mr Bates when he said that the financial issues had been resolved and that our future would be bright. A week later we were in administration and shortly after relegated to the third tier of football. Since then, he says one thing, does another and then says something contradictory a week later and then does something else etc etc..
