So I wouldn’t expect anything anytime soon

Most clubs would have been eager to keep supporters informed of any stadium developments during the close season but we've all been reduced to guesswork as to what the plans are.
The fittings of the clubhouse (?) boardroom (?) were removed about a month ago but we only found out about that because the removal company put it on their own Facebook page. What has subsequently been refurbished/ redecorated? Does anyone know?
Then a rumour started on here that the asbestos roofs of the terrace and stand were being replaced but people who have passed Beveree report no sign of any work.
As for the new signings, have any contracts actually started yet? I presume they'll start next month so no wages will have been paid out yet. Correct me if I'm wrong.
A few press releases would have prevented all this speculation.

I don't see how we go from 'no news from the club' to there may be no team next season. Could the real answer be that they are not ready to make an announcement until all the ducks are in a row? It seems to me that the club is trying to do a lot in a very short space of time and any hiccups with permissions, contractors, etc may lead to unwanted and unplanned delays. But that in itself is pure speculation. My guess is that we are not going to be playing home games for a few weeks whilst work continues into the new season.
