I believe you were a little more certain than that a few years ago that this project definitely wouldn't happen !
I dont believe you dont want it to happen and never have. It's your certainty it wouldn't that I called you on, despite new players in the game.
(I think we all doubted BK's ability alone to deliver)

Well my certainty it wouldn't happen has changed with the facts.

But that doesn't mean it cant still go wrong. FWIW I think it will be built. But this project will be put back a lot of time with this development.

I've had messages all morning from RS ....forwarding dodgey emails, fake ITK,s , the lot.
Might come back to bite them if this investigation includes certain compulsory purchase orders the LCC did for them !!!

How beautiful would that be?

 

[AsiaAsia82]

Just told my RS buddy that the ‘hole punch’ stand is implicated in the investigation and may have to come down.

The council was ordered to disclose by 11 December details of any of its upcoming property development or disposal plans, and its strategy to secure “effective governance” given the string of high-profile arrests.

The Government commissioned strategic advisor Max Caller, a former electoral commissioner and chief executive of London boroughs Hackney and Barnet, to produce the report on Liverpool City Council following a string of local scandals including the arrest of former Mayor of Liverpool Joe Anderson in connection with Merseyside Police’s ‘Operation Aloft’ probe into building and development contracts.

I dont see how we could be caught up in this at all.

We're not.

Okay how will this hold our stadium back if it has nothing to do with it ? Or are you convinced it has anything to do with the stadium, a bit of proof would be nice to back up your assertions and predictions as well.

My prediction here is that the decision for this stadium will be delayed substantially and we;ll see a public inquiry.

Let's see how wrong I am about that.

Fair play, you have firmly nailed your colours to the mast.

If they do send in the commissioners to run the Council it seems to be an over-reaction given the specific areas of concern. I could understand them taking over that particular department, but what is the justification for a wholesale takeover ? This reinforces my view that the Govt. may be pursuing a politically motivated intervention in an area where they have no electoral clout.

P.S. Also confirms it has bugger all to do with BMD.

Operation Aloft ? Didn't Liverpool get a loft extension recently ? Hmmm if only.

I struggle with that argument, the area is a headache for this government and they are well aware, they could build everyone mansions, deliver the worlds greatest infrastructure, get the RS relegated & still wouldn't win a future election.

Getting the RS relegated would upset more Norwegians and Malaysians than it would Liverpudlians

If there's a suspicion of wrongdoing/potential fraud within the council, with hints that it reaches high up in the food chain, it wouldn't make much sense to just take over a particular department.

I really really do not think the Govt think they're going to stride into Liverpool and be welcomed like liberators. It's going to be run by civil servants anyway...
