Why is the North a total Shambles
Why do you want corporate boxes in East? They are already covered by the flats which are sold out, and would reduce the space for corporate/entertainment events which can earn all year round rather than 12/13 days
I haven't seen a picture of an upside down seat. Just Hearsay so far.

And even if what you said was true, no one else moved forward from a wooden stand with no boxes and a north stand with reduced capacity because it was falling apart (shown very clearly by the but at the back)

Corporate boxes were in the original spec. Have you been to the top of the north stand and looked behind? Have you got your head out of the current incumbents arias’ yet? Will you be reporting this among with many other posts to the club.

Please see attached photo for your reference if I’ve done it correctly

Let me break this down for you.

Ok, there is no doubt that JM has IP, that could enable a level of continuity with IMG, RFL going forward. But JM being in the club if that is a concept that people are supporting (including JM of course) must be non executive. Give him a job by all means, but I suspect that JM wants a piece of action tin e ti - this is not me rumour mongering, I’ve just been in these situations before in corporate land and leverage may be in play?

Just a thought, take it or leave it.

By all means give JM a desk, a laptop and a phone, sit him over there and let him continue be the head of IMG relations on a 12 month contract to be reviewed.

can't he mop the bogs out behind the north stand

You only make yourself look foolish posting things like that.

Minards has managed to get a stand done which is a total shambles (North) and has built the East stand without any corporate boxes. Said stand now has seats installed upside down and facing the wrong way! Great work John let’s keep it going!!!

So now you're blaming JM for putting the seats in the upside down/wrong way?
No offence, but that is pathetic.

Like I said twice - all of it.

I think John Minards is vastly overplaying the value of his “knowledge” of IMG processes and his relationships with construction companies. The IMG formula isn’t rocket science and IMG themselves will be on hand to provide help and information to all clubs especially if they’re new owners who’ve come to the party late. As for the building projects, they’re all underway, have detailed plans and will be just a continuation until completed.

There are no partnerships that can’t be handed over and meetings can be held where new owners meet those partnering with the club. It just strikes me that John WANTS to stay involved and that’s OK but if the new ownership wants a clean slate then Minards should accept that and make the transition as easy as possible.

I think most people accept that and presume that is what's happening. It was written in block capitals on here the other day that the completion date is set.
