My concern is not just the debt mentioned above, but the potentially hastily renegotiated lease where Hull City will be paying something like £1 per year to play there. I am certain he will have renegotiated with his son a preferential deal prior to any potential sale.
It is wrong that the City becomes burdened with this significant debt and no income from those who caused it to pay for it.
I think the SMC is the barrier to him selling the football club because of the debt

Let's hope that the council's "full access to the SMC accounts" highlights what's really going.
When City's catering subsidy was waived, all it did was allow Mr Allam to highlight how much more we were costing the SMC. I wouldn't be surprised if the stewarding costs were being used in the same way. City pay for stewarding, but we don't, so he can charge City whatever he wants, and we'll "cost" even more. I don't suppose this will show up in the accounts unless the real cost of services is part of the audit.
Is Hodgson the new Griffin, or is it all about pace?

I hope they get full audits of the accounts from 2010 onwards to unravel the allocations properly.

Even though it may cost the council a few bob, a full, forensic audit of the accounts, by outside (non-council), auditors would be money well spent. If for no other reason than to confirm what any, right-thinking person already suspects

All this could change after the 7th May if we get a change of Council.

I wonder if Adam Pearson was paid 'compensation' for his dismissal by Allam... maybe these costs by the SMC, is a method of trying to recoup this..
23 wards are up from 69 in Hull , no chance of any change given the state of the polls, maybe some Labour gains possible and UKIP could nip an odd one anywhere in the north as half wits also have the vote..............
No worries Middleborough Minns and Butterworth will not return to power
Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.;
