Sounds like they'd not taken the request seriously until your nudge.

Looking forward to their answers.

They're probably bringing in a consultant on mega-bucks (with an assistant) to answer the question.

Doubt it, they'll spend up to their policy limit and then ask for Standee to pay the balance of chargeable time if he wants the rest of the information.

www.thisishullandeastriding.co.u ... story.html Financially, of course, this is the right thing to do. However, you have to wonder whether now they've invested £40m and are wanting to rein back and create a self-sustaining business, whether that's consistent with the stated intention of a quick return to the Premiership. I know little about football, but seems a major challenge.

I'm confused as to why Allam is on one hand intending to spend million on a 'Sports Village' when just a few million would get City the players they need to mount a promotion challenge (with a 90million a year TV windfall on offer)

I am not suggesting he should go out and spend big time on any old 'has-beens' but even 5million would get City 2/3 good quality Championship players. A lot of City fans are already grumbling about the lack of action this summer and the 'cheap' players they have been linked with.

My personal guess is that the "Sporting Village" could be less about gifting sporting facilities to the city and more about getting the land cheap for commercial purposes. Call me a cynical old accountant, by all means. I'm sure all will become clear when the detailed plans are lodged with the council

No doubt people will say 'heck where have all those houses come from?'

Has there been any news on the sporting excellence that he wanted to build to help bring the youth on?

Its not £90million a year more like £40-£50million, the £90million relates to parachute payments the promoted clubs get if/when they get relegated and don't return within 3 years iirc. (something like £16million a year) sorry for going o/t mods.

That's Bullard's wages sorted then

You're a cynical old accountant.

I'm sure i was told a while ago that there are certain restrictions on the land where Walton St market is due to the sewage system and utility pipes etc, could anyone shed any more light on this?
