Wasn't talking about planning permission. Identify land. According to reports that was done and purchased in Jan 2026. 5 years after the take over and it was Sir John Hall's land LOL. Now there's planning permission process. 5 years is mental and it was in plain sight all this time.

It's about desire and PIF grandstand with comments but the reality is they done the bare minimum.
Yes but you don't just buy land on a whim without spending time with Planners and other council officials. Otherwise you end up with worthless land. You also have to rule out year 1 whilst they are taking stock of everything.

They've invested the maximum amount into the playing squad though, made the current training ground decent enough and they've increased the revenue of the club steadily.

I think our owners are sharp tbh.

What other land was identified? What planning enquiries and surveys were carried out? What number in a priority list was Sir John's land?

What??? You don't know!!!

And yet you still pontificate as if you had all the facts and information to hand. Incredible.

Do you know they did what you suggested? Have you got evidence they even started looking before December....No?

I want new training ground and new stadium built before they get bored and sell. If we don't get that out of PIF then the hassle of them being our owners isn't worth it.
 
I get the Howe stuff but the owners really have been excellent. Without PIF Howe would have taken us down and we'd have won nothing.

What did I suggest?

I’m simply picking you up on your complaining about something which really you know nothing about.

The irony of bournemouths season hopefully not lost on anyone.
Come on Roly, I'd like to think you're a bit brighter than that remark. I understand you're a self confessed miserable bastard and each to his own, whatever makes you tick. However for f#ck's sake at least attempt to apply a tad of realism to your whingeing.

You're definitely late to that party, Jim. <laugh> <laugh> <laugh>

So if you know nothing about it either then my comment is as valid as yours.

Deflection at it's most obvious and worst. <laugh> <laugh> <laugh>

You make a wild claim based on zero knowledge. I pick you up on that.

You then make a wild and incorrect claim that I suggested something. I then pick you up on that.

You then claim that as I don't know anything (which I don't) then your wild claim is as good as mine (even though I never made any claim other than you didn't know anything about what you were talking about, which is correct).

No attempt to directly answer the points made by me in my posts. Just continuous waffle trying to justify your baseless original claim.

Put simply. You're claiming as no one knows any inside information you can make anything up and then cry and whine as if it were factually correct.

<laugh><laugh><laugh>
