Yikes

Checked the app everything seems normal

It does seem odd. I assumed the architect, or at least his company, would at the least remain in the loop until its built.

Sometimes yes, sometimes no.

The whole 'believe it or not not everything I write is about Everton' thing is proper weird, seeing as the thing he wrote that kicked all this off quite clearly was about Everton. He's had a mare here.

The Architects job is to produce the dream concepts, now Bill has his blue pencil out to start ‘value engineering’...

 

[roydo]

And if they do, PR wise - it's not good is it for his own company?

I mean... do you really want to enlist someone who is going to diva it up and slag you off on social media?

Architects are renowned for being a bit precious, but even so, this is bizarre.

Can the club even try change designs now its in for PP?

I hope we keep to the design and the stadium is boss.

Something tells me the designs have worked out a wee bit too expensive...

This doesn’t bold well.... IMO

 

[Jacko93]

This is just the UK construction industry. He's not been novated and he's not been hired client side. How he takes it is his prerogative, but unfortunately, its the construction business.

As somebody said once "it's just business"

Doesn't bode well for what? Meis company coffers? Probably not.

Not sure we can make drastic changes to the stadium without applying for planning permission again.

Lets be honest we don't need Meis anymore, he's done his job and been paid, so its just a case of Thanks and bye Danny boy.

He clearly wanted to stick around and as I say, we don't need him anymore.

We have spent a small fortune of the stadium so far, we wont be ripping everything up and starting again.

The planning process(meetings etc) hasn’t even got a date yet, so it’s certainly not “just about to be ok’d”

They’ll certainly have been taking place already.

There’s a limited administration process taking place due to Covid but as someone who’s had a lot of dealings with LCC throughout the lockdown period in relation to a business development I do know the important meetings are taking place. KPI’s do still need to be achieved by the planning department as well, it won’t have just been submitted and forgotten about.

Pretty sure things of this size are usually either open to the public or at least broadcast online? Been none of that.

The Planning Dept have been missing deadlines aots.

So Laing, it is Laing isnt it?, have essentially gone with their own people, or have asked another architect to oversee it?

With Meis being in Merica, and Merica being really really poorly, I can kinda see the logic if so.
