I've said before and I know some don't like it but not buying the ground because someone told you not to, does not sound like Carter so I'm sure there is more to it.
If it's true, the mistake is on our side not SRW or the Council.

Well you're wrong and I have it on very good authority - how the hell you come to the conclusion that its our fault its beyond me, fickle even for you. I suppose you could argue the Councils culpability depending on how pedantic you want to be but Walker was head of the Trust at the time!
You do realise what we have just done is what MC wanted to do at the time - loan the money and buy the ground as security but the Box apparently received some of his legendary advise that nobody can corroborate and decided against lending us the money due to advice received which is as much as I can say. Remember without a Council loan we couldn't afford to by it, certainly not at the time.
We agree on very little but if you believe nothing else I say believe this was a stitch up and certain people have made a bob or two more than they should - its wrong whichever way you view it.
Note: I have no idea what the cost of the demolition of the Superbowl was more than you suspect probably so I suppose that does count to the increase in value. either that was probably covered by the rent Mani collected off us - either was as ever the Trinity club has lost out.
