Tucked away near the bottom of page 13 of the Daily Post 2/ 9/ 03 is an article you wont see anywhere else.

Its been revealed that the price of land in Knowsley (what's left of it!) has rocketed to £1 million per acre. Keight and Henshaw cobbled together the secret land deal that gave Liverpool FC 56 acres of land at Windy Arbour in Kirkby for £3million without ever going out to public tender. Liverpool got most of their outlay back when they flogged on a small area to Whitbread's for the David Lloyd centre. No wonder Keight got the OBE on Henshaw's recommendation.

Below, Jim 'Kaiser' Keight in the glorious days of the Keight empire........

Liverpool FC Chief Executive Rick Parry must love Henshaw and Keight providing this Rolls Royce service, but wait a minute after the Hatton years weren't Councils told that major land deals by should negotiated by public tender? Land is a community asset. And what about Keight and O'Hare ? both were heavily involved in the putting together of the deal and agreeing the price, both were season ticket holders at Liverpool FC, and both were part of the five man group (which included Ronnie Roundabout) who moved the recommendation on a startled Labour Group and whipped it through the Council !

Not to be outdone Henshaw has now delivered Stanley Park to Rick Parry on a plate for Liverpool's new ground, this six years after the City Council under Peter Bounds gave Everton FC the elbow when they made an approach to move their new ground into Stanley Park.


This is called being " business friendly" or is it business for friends !

Clearly these people can walk on water, or is there anybody out there who understands the Codes of Conduct and Criminal law governing Councillors and Council Officers.?

Those in the KNOW are not holding their breath !
