City have just confirmed that 'due diligence' is taking place with a potential buyer

You are asking far too much of Hull City Council. They couldn’t organise a booze up in a brewery. My mate used to work there and he said half of them would be better use sat in a corner with a box of crayons !

Probably to help pay for the Allam’s ‘gift to the City!’

The SMC concept has been abused though. Not sure if it’s happened like that with other stadiums, like Man City move to the Etihad had a similar deal with the Council.

If it’s in the air with City being sold, wonder if there’s scope for Adam to buy it and regain ownership? Might cost a bit in the short term, but may provide more stability for us in the future and provide more revenue opportunities from the stadium.

Can he afford to do that ?

That’s exactly the reason for concern as you can bet that HCC have made a right balls up of the whole thing as they are so out of their depth. They make decisions when no one has any experience in the real world and seem to play with finances as though it was Monopoly money.

The SMC has been and will always be the sticking point to any deal the Allams try to make to sell Hull City.
Its always been loss making whilst in their control yet they still want a substantial figure for it based on the £5 million pound figure reported when the USA buyer pulled out of the deal reporting that the goal posts had been moved.
In any case who in their right mind would pay £30 million for a club that could be relegated once again made loss last year of £8 million and is hamstrung in the transfer market until the EFL loan is repaid.
With no player value apart from Lewis Potter who could be valued at £2 million the club is virtually worthless.
The Turk has not even been to Hull,Not spoken with HCC and until Allam pays of the EFL loan nothing is going to happen even if Due Diligence is taking place.
In todays market as a relegation bound Championship club its probably valued at £10/15 million pounds so why would anyone want to pay £30 million.
