A gift without caveats could still be a gain for the Council in a number of ways, for example we'd gain the money saved from not having to develop the area ourselves.

If that turns out to be the final position of Mr Alam then yes, the Council should walk away, but not before every avenue's explored.

If, as most business men do, Mr Alam's not planning to use his own money, but generate other investment, the Council could even tease out as much detail as possible and look to do it themselves.

You know - this thought has been crossing my mind since Allam first went public with his "Sporting Village" smokescreen.

Who was it said that if you repeat a lie often enough it can become the truth? :lol
Geobbels Lenin you choose you seem to know everything else!

As soon has Mr Allam said give me the K C Stadium I would have said Good Bye
plus no plans on the table ..I have work for the Council and they don't do business that way ..They like it neat and tidy every thing in it's box ..There was no comeback from the sale of the Council Bus Company everything was check and double checked .

Are you sure the sale of the Council Bus Company wasn't just checked and double decked
