But why would Wilkinson chuck a load of money in to Town only to abandon his "project" there and chuck a load more money at United after a couple of years? That makes literally no sense.
If anything, the sums he finds himself having to plough into Town to drag them up a couple of divisions will mean he won't want to touch us - or any other club - with a bargepole come 2021... he may well be a successful local businessman, but there are clubs in our sphere owned by people in the £200m+ wealth bracket.
Don't think anyone will have to find a load of money to buy BUFC . David Newton has said all along he will hand the club over debt free , add the fact that the club will not own any valuable assets .
Paul Wilkinson is a very astute business man as the records prove . Unlike most owners who puts pots of money into clubs I feel sure he would be hands on and work to a sustainable business plan .
Running a club with no debts or assets is not an easy task (ask our chairman)
Your new ground will be owned by someone else, and you will have a lease on it. DN has subsidised BUFC’s budget every year since he took over. Your new owner will need to at least guarantee any shortfall, and as this league is getting even more ridiculous with stupid budgets -then the job is not for the faint hearted
Good business acumen and good luck are needed in equal measure
I really do think that Trinity are in a better financial position than Boston, at least you have assets (your ground) and the best business acumen was shown by yourselves by not selling the ground to Mr Swan, because whether you agree or disagree with his intentions, he truly showed his true colours in the end"which were not Blue" when he could not get his hands on what he truly wanted.
Maybe he would have honoured his promise and built you another ground , but there was always the risk he wouldn't once he got his hands on a prime piece of development land.
The same would have happened to Boston if the Malkinson family had sold out to dodgy Evans and Sotnick, you have only got to look at Darlington now to know what a conman Sotnick is.
Boston will in the future be owned by the community, the ground anyway, but I would imagine we will need a private investment to give us a decent budget, I don't see the new stadium providing the income on its own.
