For what it's worth, I believe Frampton's interest was genuine. I believe that his interest in the wider infrastructure stuff was genuine too.
In (at least) one of his interviews, Frampton said that they'd undertaken similar projects elsewhere ......which basically follow the Man City model, whereby there's a degree of development and/or urban re-generation. . .........which will hopefully have peeved the Council into making some kind of protest to the Admins, to get them to apologise to Frampton and Jeffries, hopefully regain their interest, and then get their finger out and get the bloody deal done. (I have to admit, I'm not very optimistic on this front).
Hence the thread of questions I posted, hoping that he (through his UK contact) might provide some answers. Well, given all the tyre-kicker/fantasist allegations (cos apparently, he'd convinced no-one
), there'd be no better time to provide some answers ........................ you know, a little like Jim Bowen at the end of Bullesye .......... "Look at what you could have won", while flashing the Vs to the unbelievers.
Probably won't happen though............. and if the info in that article is genuine, it doesn't really matter.
