PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

As I remember it pre Sheikh M there was no money left after investment into Salford Quays and other South Manchester area.
This left the carcigenic contaminated Clayton Aniline and other industrial remnants to dacay via nature.
Similar fate was left to Ancoats.

In the absence of State and Local Gov Funding our owner decontaminated some of the land then built over a number of years in association with the local council.

In short our owner provided the money, the council made the land and buildings available.

I think that was how it happened but as an east Manchester resident at the time I was disgusted how our area had been discarded for investment.

Thinking about it Sheikh M's investment saved Manchester Business Plan yet he is paradoxically charged with over investment into his own part of that investment.

Yes. Manchester Council should be backing him more.

I can understand why they don't back him more.
I'm thinking of the NW Tonight piece on the topping out of the new arena as an example. Nearing completion of Europes largest, state of the art indoor arena, Burnham is interviewed and is naturally buoyant about the project. So what does Annabel Tiffin ask.. 'this is all well and good, but how do you feel about accepting investment from a country with such an appalling human rights record?'. (The way she emphasized 'appalling', I thought she was going to throw-up)
Anything positive MCC say about any investments will be totally twisted into a 'whatabout...?' and it's just not worth their while to stick their head above the parapet.
Frankly, if some people dont appreciate what UAE (and Chinese, for that matter) investment has done for the residents of Manchester, they should piss off to one of the many bankrupt shithole cities that will charge them a fortune in CT to not empty their bins.

Sometimes not giving a reply to comments like "the UAE's appalling human rights record" is the best way to starve it of oxygen.

Ask most people what's wrong with Abu Dhabi's HRRR, they wouldn't have a fuckin Scooby.

Sensationalist bullshit journalism by Annabelle. After the way successive Westminster governments have disenfranchised the North of England, she should know better.

It's not like we had a choice of badly needed Central Government investment, or investment from Abu Dhabi. Manchester graciously accepted the only offer on the table, which its citizens have greatly benefitted from.

If it was up to Westminster, think of 70s/80 Manchester & the decay they were happy to allow to fester.

I'm wondering, with respect to the Super Casino project. The Government set up and independent commission to assess and choose the best option. When it came in favour of our site the Gov reneged. They had final say, maybe this may happen with the football regulator.

Gordon Brown has a particular dislike of gambling, & the effects it has on those least able to afford it.

The proposals were made under Blair who was all for it. It's just our misfortune Brown succeeded him when the final decision was being made.

I didn't know that.

As said they are in the job for votes so react accordingly.

Sad to say the media has done a good job in demonizing even the regeneration of East Manchester.

Not only that but also the share GMC got from Gov went elsewhere and not where it was needed most.

East Manchester was ignored and neglected once it's time of service to the industrial revolution was over.

You mean the same Annabel Tiffin married to a man kicked out of Greater Manchester Police press office for sexual harassment?
