(I thought City's academy trained/played at Bishop Burton.)

That article was 4 days ago....

The photograph was taken 4 hours ago....

The contractors started laying the 3G pitch inside the Airco Arena
at 8.30 am this morning..

The letter from MP Alan Johnson to the FA, made sweet FA to the owners of Hull City...

Just heard from Alan Johnson: the Premier League were clear that they did NOT require planning by 23 April, just as soon as possible.
No one seems to know why City have gone ahead anyway and there's a possibility that they will fail the audit anyway due to this behaviour.

It is time the girls played the sexist card on the Allams,none in his team or back ups [physio etc.

Councillor Stephen Brady on RH tonight at 17:00.

Allam is a sly bxxxxxd


No intention of talking to the council. Should be made to rip it up but allam knows the council won't do a thing once it's down

Looks good. Hopefully we can use it for training in bad weather

Timing is good...........

No politician is going to to do much before the elections and Allam knew that, trouble is he is now dragging Hull city down with him and many of their fans can see he is doing immense damage. The guy just loves aggro and can not seem to achieve anything without upsetting people, well I am a great believer in "what goes around" .......

will they receive extra funding for the academy when they get relegated? is it the FA or premiership that pays extra?

So they've evicted all the other smaller tenants with no censure or planned action by the council. I think we can all see where this is going.

It's a shame Brady didn't put over his case very well, and I doubt I'll do any better.......

He basically said that the council wanted to come to an amicable agreement, but Mr Allam wanted the council to "break the law" so that Mr Allam got what they wanted now, rather than in the proposed time frame which was more than achievable.

Mr Allam also now wants the council to pay half the costs of the bubble pitch and an eighteen month rates "holiday". Mr Allam knew the council couldn't come up with the goods even if they'd wanted to.

The one worry thing Brady said was that an injunction would cost the tax payers serious money, almost suggesting it was not been considered for that very reason.

Forgive my ignorance, but how would an injunction work in this case?

Stop Mr Allam doing what he has now done.

Sadly Brady is not the most eloquent of individuals.

Liked his dig at Allam when he referred to "British" democracy in the interview.

He was right though in saying that to accede to Allam's demands would be illegal and I'm sure Allam knew that when he made them.

An injunction would cost about £50k. Money well spent and if the council won Allam would have to pay most of their costs.

Aye and his use of was instead of were was excruciating.

I suspect that not winning was also considered, because Mr Allam would then have sued the council for serious money for the loss of FA income for his grade 2 academy.

How, though?

Would an injunction be legal if Allam has not broken the terms of the lease? If he has (which from a cursory look at the section posted by Angus Young the other week looks likely) then the Council should be able to stop them without the need for an injunction, surely?

What are the options actually open to the council if the terms of the lease have been breached?

Ask Mr Brady.

The court would only grant an injunction if Allam was in breach of the lease.

If he is in breach of the lease, how do you suggest the council stop Allam doing what he is doing without a court order?

I see. Thank you.

So the fact that they are stating that an injunction is possible but dismissed on cost grounds means the lease [ihas[/i been breached. Interesting. As pondered above, a breach would imply there could presumably be other implications and further-reaching consequences for the Allams, other than this immediate issue, should the council be willing to pursue them.

How rude you are. If you don't know the answers just don't reply. Easy.

£50k for an injunction would be a small price to pay, considering the consequences of doing nothing

Somebody should set up a fundrazor page for HCC injunction..that would be interesting

Exactly. This is the thin end of the wedge, and Allam knows it. If he gets away with this he'll see it as carte blanche.
