My slant on the ground-share is somewhat different.

The Boro were going to be made homeless and there was no other option available. Plus, add in the Stocker factor.

Boro could not afford to build a stadium AND pay the going rate for the land.
The compromise would be offer a lower payment and a favourable long term ground share agreement.
The Nuns got the money they needed with assurances of long term tenure at a low prices and Boro got somewhere to build a stadium.

I am NOT one for conspiracies, but I can't help think the way it panned out was planned from the day stocker gave his presentation which ensured Boro would never go bust.
Stocker got his money; Neale got the contract; Neale got the ground and the Nuns suffered.
