I'm not sure why you'd pose that question on here, as almost everyone on here is likely to vote in favour, though as half the people on here live outside the city boundaries, they won't get a vote anyway.
If it goes ahead, we'll have some of the best sports facilities in the country, anyone who doesn't think that's a good idea is bonkers. It would be a massive boost for the city, both having these facilities available for everyone to use and also being able to host major events. The investment for the development would come partly from the Allam's, partly from Sport England, party with borrowings that will be repaid by leasing the hotel and the increased stadium capacity(possibly with cheaper ticket prices). The money can only be raised to invest in the development if it goes ahead, if it doesn't, that money isn't available to spend on the football club. The amount we've set aside for player recruitment will stay as it is, it won't be affected by this development one way or the other.
As for the money paid already, we had over ã20m in bank debt, ã7m to the taxman and a few million in deferred player wages that were paid off as soon as the Allam's took over. That's ã30m already, we then spent a few million on players in January and we're still running at a deficit, due to Bartlett having already spent this seasons and next seasons parachute money, along with half of next seasons ticket sale money.
