The point is, that under the lease, the ground is 'ours' for the next 100+ years so when that lease ends any stand is unlikely to be still standing and any worries about 'our' money going to others [unless there's an internal coup d'etat] is really a non starter. It'll still be 'ours' long after we're all dead and gone.
IIRC the RFL owned head lease is 100 yrs+, which is remainder of our 125 yr lease which we sold them. Seem to remember our new sub lease from RFL was 20-30 yrs. Could be irrelevent if Green/Club buys freehold from council but do we then pay rent to RFL for a ground we hold freehold on?
If article on T&A is actually quoting Green verbatim with his comment about fans forming a Quango to raise half funds and he'll match it, then I think he's actually making offer a bit tongue in cheek with no real expectation that it will ever happen. But it puts ball back in fans court and stops people constantly asking about roof which he probably gets tired off.
