I will stick my neck out here and say the new stadium will not happen in the next 10yrs.

Thatâs what the whole forcing the new stadium plan was set up to do.
They wanted to oversell the possibilities and generating power of the end result, set up by other people, sponsors and government, to cover up the mess of conduct of the past 4 years. Which they have themselves to blame for, for the biggest part.
End result, they desperately get a loan on top of their shit. Oh yehhâŠ

For a modern stadium that fits the standard of Champions league, in Europe, the construction cost is in the range of $5,000 to $20,000 per seat. That excludes the cost of the land.
So a 60,000 seater would cost between $300m and $1.2b.
I think they just rattle that Canary cage when things are not going so well.
Danger Ahead!
When the Andalucian Government gets hold of European Union money, strange errors happen. 10 years ago they decided to build an outer ring road to relieve a pressure point on the inner ring road, the autonomous government couldnât decide whether to bridge the river Guadalquivir or to tunnel under it, so construction started without a decision. Some clown decided to buy a tunneling machine for âŹ38m and ten years late they sold it for scrap at âŹ2m. Still no tunnel or bridge and the ring road is perfect except it comes to a halt at the river.

Just read the catchup. So crazy this is happening in a boardroom of the size of Sevilla.
Can we start a go fund me to buy all their shares and be done with this soap opera?

These Boardroom meetings are similar like the current Meetings of our German Federal Parliament. Downfall feelingsâŠ

Great article, curious to hear any counter narratives from those opposed, but when it comes to financing, itâs always shades of grey because it comes down to the effective price of what youâre giving up/selling and the effective interest rate being offered by the financiers. Unfortunately, without doing our own numbers, weâre sort of left relying on the fluff pieces from journalists saying things like âthese guys are happy, Del Nido Jr is building a stadium, and those other guys arenât happyâ. Impossible to know from the article whoâs made the right financial choice. Thereâs certainly a degree of safety in numbers here (ie. if it were bad business it seems unlikely 17 first division teams would have signed on)⊠But thatâs not a guarantee itâs smart business in the long termâŠ
Anyhow, great article, thanks for the share!

Fernando Navarro (and some others in the sporting division) got canned today in the club.
Sorry to hear, seemed like a good guy, but in sports itâs hard to keep people on the payroll who were hired by the previous boss, in this case Monchi. People in the Twitterverse are making a big deal out of it, but hard to know at the moment if itâs a big shake up or just the typical process of Orta wanting to make space for people he trusts are working for him.
PS - feed just updated and I saw that Chris beat me to the punch on this news

They are looking to cut costs and Fernando seemed to be excess. Hopefully he gets a shot somewhere.

Rumours are flying around of a big bust up between Nido jnr and Orta with Castro having to step in to separate them.
Apparently Junior wants him gone but Orta is holding on to his contract

I can see that be true. Wouldnât surprise me at all.
You know this board is gonna keep hurting ourselves.Thatâs one thing our directives are good at and you can guarantee yourself for the next season at the very least this will continue as well.
Iâve seen enough from Orta to say his departure would best for the club.
Im not sure if I want Del Nido Carrasco as a key figure, but on ditching Orta I back him up.
Most worrying part of the clubâs situation right now is Isaac Romero his contract extension. Which is (let) dragging on for some time, and in all seriousness you need to give him a fairly high salary to demand a high buy out clause, which is the goal. His latest weeks showed some set backs but he still is the main driver behind our revitalised streak that broke us free from most direct danger. Now you gotta be decisive or he will be snatched up and you lose your probably biggest asset for the future.

Is anyone else starting to get the feeling that this coming summer will just be round 3 of more of the same? I am unsure what can be resolved among the current shareholders, so Iâm starting to find myself more sympathetic to the âburn it all down and sell to some savvy/
investorsâ.
Itâs just crazy to me to imagine that we are desperate to sell YEN for 25m when you look to the past and we were BUYING untested strikers for about that. Didnât we pay 25m for Negredo? And that was 10ish years ago when market prices were way lowerâŠ
I suppose the question for the group isâŠare we better off waiting for Papi Del Nido to get his shares back and make big moves or hope that the current folks find a way to bring about some kind of bigger shift so weâre not relying on olâ Corruptible as our savior?

Here is a list of our top 20 top transfers:
Amazing how much waste is on that top list. Lopes, Muriel, Promes, Dabbur, Mir, Nianzou, Amadou, Jordan, Gnagnon.
Way more misses than hits.

I imagine the big shareholders meeting in December 2024 will decide the future of the board. This is the first realistic chance old snake chops has of booting out his son and Castro to take the throne. They will try to resist that though so not clear what will happen.
