Hull City have committed £1.6m to upgrade the club's training facilities and work has started today.

Relegation puts the Council in a spot. The Premier League money from an Academy just became more important. Will we see the Council carry out their threats of legal action?

Could you be a bit more specific? I see Phil's comments on here as a promise of action not an idle threat.

On what and where?

They have already claimed Bishop Burton as their own

Hull City now have to rely on parachute payments. They could lose £30 or £40 million next season. They have the deferred transfer fees to pay, the players' wages, the possible losses from Livermore's 2 year ban, if he's found guilty of taking coke, pay the non playing staff, rent for the Kc etc. There are rumours about a substantial drop in season ticket sales as well.

According to Assem Allam they are spending £2 million a year on the academy. The half a million from the Premier League they get from Category 2 status is now a substantial amount given the drop in income.

The Council can put a stop on Hull City getting that money. Phil Webster said they will by taking legal action. I have my doubts. I don't think they have the bottle. Also Assem Allam donates money to the Labour Party.

So donating money to the Labour party puts you above the law?

Ask Phil Webster. There is no reason why the council shouldn't have started legal proceedings to reclaim the Airco Arena for the people of Hull. Its not like Assem Allam will agree with them and take out the 3g pitch.

Webster's conspicuous by his absence after the initial bluster.
