I think you're very likely correct in what you're saying.

Just his whole take on it, why the council never spoke to the smc/hull city about expanding the stadium, why the council should appologise to the Allams about the way they have delt with them, how they should let the Allams mortgage the stadium so the land can be devolped for the people of the area (with no benefit to them of coarse) it was downright obnoxious.

Wow. No challenge on the principle of gifting a public asset to a private limited company? The Allams' approach to negotiations? The long term risk of default?

Now that would be a balanced argument but of course we know Fewings swings

Fewings obviously fails to understand that if the council transfers a public asset to Allam for less than full market value then each and every councillor who votes in favour can be personally surcharged by the District Auditor for the loss to the public finances.
