From: http://www.yorkpress.co.uk/news/yorknews/d..._looks_west.php Candidates believed to have been shortlisted for the West Yorkshire job [includes]: Norman Bettison, who quit as Chief Constable of Merseyside Police in 2004 and became boss of private police training centre Centrex. His appointment to Merseyside in 1998 was controversial because he had been part of the South Yorkshire Police unit which investigated the Hillsborough disaster.

It's not Momo's shoulder, it's Liverpool's shoulder.

SPEEDY. GET IN!!!!

Fair enough. All I can say then, is that LFC must have some pretty s***-hot planning lawyers. (Actually, they do. I've worked with them )

I'm not sure this is strictly correct. The S106 Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Council and the Club. I haven't seen the actual agreement but it is common to make the actual regeneration a condition on granting permission. That puts the obligation on the Club to carry out the works - payment, grants, etc is irrelevant in this instance. Alternatively, (although I don't think this has been the case here) the club could be obliged to make a sum of money available for another body (the council?) to carry out the regeneration works. This would be the better option for the club. Don't get confused in thinking the permission is subject to a S106. The S106 IS the permission, subject to conditions including the regeneration. Not starting work before the regeneration is complete is a standard condition known as a "grampian style" clondition and perfectly valid in law. This means that the club can't get out of this by starting the stadium and procrastinating for years on stmping up for the regen package. Finally, the O1 committee, NWDA, EFC, etc have nothing to do with the planning permission. That is a matter purely between the council and the club.

The reason it is down to LFC is that the grants have to be matched by an equivalent contribution from somewhere in the private sector. Anyone can see that the only source of this private sector contribution is the club. They hold all the cards. You are quite correct in your assumption that if the club pulls out, the area goes to nothing. The begging is more than likely going on out of the media's eye. There would be political difficulties if the council were seen to be bending over to accommodate the club. If nothing happens by 28th September, I would put a mortgage-sized bet on there being some kind of "extension" to the deadline.

I don't know whose "falling over" was funnier to be honest.

Warnock booked. Reilly setting his stall out early. t***.

Slow News Day: Barclay - "They should get a shared stadium. It'd be cheaper"

And that's 3.

In the course of his interview with this newspaper on Tuesday, Guus Hiddink revealed that it was Roman Abramovich who approached him with the offer of the Russian manager's job, in a series of meetings also attended by the Chelsea chief executive. Perhaps we shouldn't read too much into this. After all, Peter's amazing gift for coincidental encounters saw him sitting down in two London restaurants with Rio Ferdinand on a single evening last March, and there was a time he could barely leave the house without bumping into Sven-Goran Eriksson or Ashley Cole. http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/sport/2006/09/..._the_state.html An exceptionally well-written article with a lot I didn't know.
