Surely Eddie will not be at all happy about this?
He may not be happy, but I suspect given a straight choice of 'Team or Stadium?' he would choose Team.

I guess you like me are a season ticket holder? I'm disappointed for those who wish to support the club and see our games outside the the current season ticket group.Great much rather spend the money on players to keep us in the premiership. I like dean court the way it is

Why does the club make these announcements in the first place. I can remember the clubs desire to:
1. Build a hotel and permanent south stand (including drawings and plans released)
2. Erect a larger temporary south stand
3. Fill in corners
4. Build a new training ground complex
5. Build a brand new stadium in place of the existing athletics stadium.
All 5 seem to be dead in the water.
This isn’t acceptable in my opinion. If we need to concentrate on funding the squad then do that but that isn’t anything new, likewise this statement could have been released 6 months ago. To have not just 1 but both projects knocked back is a huge kick in the teeth.
1-3 on your list are surely dependent on structadene - why build the hotel if you don't own the rest of the stadium? - Structadene will use any of these as reasons to increase the rent
5 is dependent on building a New Athletics stadium - need to find somewhere to put that
You could argue that the only thing that has really changed is the timeline - buying the ground back would still be the cheapest option - and probably the easiest for the club.
Building a new athletics facility wouldn't be easy - aside from finding the land, someone living near it is bound to have objections.

Part of the club’s vision includes, in time where resources allow, to build first class facilities for the squad, staff and supporters.
Unless there are some strange clauses in the lease, and I can't see why there would be, the can't increase the rent for tenant's improvements during the course of the lease. They also can't change for them on a new lease if signed within 21 years of the improvement - 1954 Landlord and Tenant Act.
