It may not be news to you, but my OP refers to something considered news in Chicago on November 6 and, to my knowledge, it hasn't been aired on this MB to date. You sound like you're in denial about this.

As you know, I posted this originally on the main forum, as it is of interest to LoI fans generally. But, going by the moderation, it seems foot.ie is more interested in the financial affairs of British clubs.

I wouldn't think Kelleher is too badly off. 30% sales off the plans seems fairly good to me. The people he is selling to may not be affect by the financial woes as much as the ordinary joe.

He'll be delighted with your vote of confidence, considering...

... there is an estimated 10,000 new condo units scheduled to become available in Chicago by the end of 2009 with no market to absorb them.
The Spire project is bedeviled with problems at the moment as its star architect, Santiago Calatrava, recently filed a lien on the property seeking more than $11.3 million in payment from the developer. The Perkins & Will architecture firm has also filed a $4.85 million lien against both Shelbourne (Kelleher's firm) and Calatrava's Festina Lente Ltd.
