You report that Oxford City Council received just £1.1m for land it sold to former Oxford United owner Firoz Kassam to build the Kassam Stadium, even though it was valued at £3.8m (Oxford Mail, October 19).
Now we have discovered the figures, would it not be appropriate that the councillors involved make up the shortfall from their own pockets?
In the probable event that this won't take place, legal proceedings should take place to recover the amount from their assets, with costs of the court case added, of course.
The difference in the figures suggest to me that criminal proceedings would not be out of place. Mr Kassam must have thought he'd died and gone to heaven when he was negotiating with Oxford City Council.
