If the Council were serious, they should remove the problem from the equation and invite Mr Allam to sensible, open minded discussions with people better informed on such things or use a third party, such as Adam Pearson who has offered his services as mediator.

Only a short sighted person would be stupid enough to sit and wait for multi-million pound deals to beat a path to their door, especially in this current climate. The ball's firmly in the Council's court to explore all avenues.

The 'initial problem' isn't up to the council to address. Allam wants the KC for free and that isn't negotiable - in fact it's doubtful that it's even legal. He's free to come back with a sensible proposal at any time. He is choosing not to.

Nowhere have I read that the Council are refusing to meet with either Allam or anyone else who wishes to become involved. I'm open to evidence to the contrary however. Pearson is hardly a 'third party' as he is directly employed by Allam and is a stakeholder in the KC twice over.

Only a fool would spend time sulking and spitting his dummy in the press rather than get on with serious negotiations based on solid plans and a sensible proposal.

Ah well, I've tried to ignore the childish insults from those less able, but as Ian's the Captain of team thicko it looks like his crap's been leaking out onto the board for a while.

I don't find it much of a surprise to see people reading and posting on a thread they find dull.

That'll be the Costello that was passed over as a Council option as it wouldn't get planning permission would it? Some over there, eh?

FFS, talk about being a stuck record. No wonder the kids are getting bored.

I refer you back to the other replies that point out you're looking at it back to front.
