| Quote Standee="Standee"Nobody in the Council could give assurances about buying any asset, be it the KC, a Museum, Gallery or major piece of art owned by HCC. The comittee stages involved in disposing of any asset (and especially a major one such as the KC) would be time consuming in the extreme, then people would have to be given a 28 day consultation period and be allowed to make representations to cabinet, it may even get "called in" by Whitehall as it is such a high profile issue (on a local level).
If it were THAT easy for Council's to dispose of assets then there would be authorities up and down the country disposing of all manner of assets in an attempt to plug the various funding gaps.
I don't think we should take "some bloke down my local" as a "reliable and knowledgeable source" (or whatever Eric referred to them as.
Anyone ever sold a house?, you know how long that takes, and there are no complex political or legal issues associated with it, selling an asset of the crown (which is, in effect, what the KC is) would be ten fold more complex (IMHO)'"
I'm not disputing any of the above and you certainly seem to know what you're talking about. However, time will tell and the stadium will be sold and developed, be it now, 2 or 5 years time.

Good job nobody's said that, then.
And I would have said that it's far more naive to believe scuttlebut from a 'reliable source' without actually checking whether the facts contradict that information. As Standee said, the Allams cannot possibly have been told that they can buy the stadium - at best they will have been told that it would not be rejected out of hand.

Is this based on your source again?

allam is worth approx £185 mill
He's into City for £30 mill
Would he really be ready to blow another £40mill on the KC buying and maybe even more expanding? Would he ever get that money back?
For it to be worth anyone while the football club should buy the ground, not the owner of the SMC and football club.
I have said many a time we should have done a uddersfield, where both clubs own a %age of the ground with the council the rest.

You keep living in your ideal little "Hull FC oriented world". There's no point in arguing, time will be the telling factor.

I don't live in any kind of ideal world, and anything is possible given enough time. I do, however, appreciate that selling the KC would be a lot more difficult than you seem to think, and that the Allams are unlikely to have been told what you think they have.
Plus you'll forgive me if I'm slightly suspicious about the motives of a Rovers fan who spends more time on the FC board than any other.

Granted
I do however spend most of my time scanning the Rovers board, for information more than anything. I very rarely post on a topic unless I know something and I actually know a lot more people connected with Hull FC than I do Hull KR, hence the extra posts.

| Not sure if it's been discussed but what is the likely hood of the Allams trying to buy FC? If they are looking to buy the KC then buying FC would seem the next logical step to tie up the loose ends.
