Thought he would have sorted out some backing from Saudi Arabia by now .....

He won’t be involved, the steaks are too high.

The lack of scrutiny and tough questions asked by our 'local' paper is disgusting. Feels like a puff piece sent in by a PR department

1. ABP own the land, they won't give it up easily. Or will they?
2. Where is the money coming from to fill in part of dock?
3. Wouldn't this take significant time to do?
4. Would ground need sufficient time to settle before any building work starts on top of it?
5. Has any environmental report been commissioned to check this is feasible?
6. Are ABP happy/involved in this?
7. Has any provisional permission been sought?
8. How many businesses are now in a position to relocate to an unproven and untested scheme?
9. Are these plans 'COVID-proof'?

While the pictures are nice, I can't get remotely excited about a property developer from London until basic questions like this are answered. The fact this guy has lingered in and out for nearly three years suggests we haven't been convinced he can adequately answer some of the above

What happens to the club when his trawler stadium runs into an issue??? I don't think we should hand over the keys to a London property developer on a punt or nice idea. The current board are not perfect but better the devil you know IMO

There is very little of Mr. Shutes online but the stuff I can see suggests he has a record of big, bold ideas that fizzles away. Where's his track record for delivery? Happy to be proven wrong with evidence of this guy delivering something of this scale and complexity???

Previous plans for Holloway theatre undelivered: https://www.islingtongazette.c.....to-trouble-1-3107547

It's all too vague and just a distraction at a very bad time IMO

I will be happy wherever the stadium is built and the more involved the better it just might happen in my lifetime.

The club is not for sale now but Shutes wants to be involved with planning and building so let's hope something happens soon.

We have Ollie now and he has said on national TV he wanted a project not just a managers job well he has that now and he will be here long term and hopefully when he has had enough of managing he will step up as chairman and look after the club that way.

A little late but if these plans had gone ahead when they were taking down the flats the rubble from there could have been used to fill in part of the docks.

If Pettit is involved, there won't be any grand plans.

The docks proposition is far better than the Freeman Street location which I always thought was rubbish. Only time will tell and we need to get beyond what is going on at the moment before anything progresses.
