Meadow spoke with Southwark Council on Monday (which is at least a start) and the following was reported on Twitter by The Independent's football correspondent:

Update: Meadow told Southwark at the meeting today that their stance remains the same. Next step is for Southwark to submit a written offer, but don't expect it to be accepted...

It's an improvement given that Meadow only a couple of weeks said they weren't going to speak to anyone. And if they reject Southwark's next bid, the government has said that they'll appoint an independent mediator to go in ? which is more of a threat to Meadow's position than the Council's. So it's slow progress.
And ultimately, the council can invoke a CPO. So Meadow can not win on this. One way or another they will be forced to sell to the council. It is just a question of how much for. Meadow really couldn't care less about the football club though - and that is perhaps the most ruthless aspect to this.

    • I'd support fining any tourist wearing a 'I ❤️ London' t-shirt, 'University of Oxford' sweatshirt or Union Jack bobble hat.
    • I noticed more butterflies than ever this year - lots of red admirals and white ones. Couldn't understand why, then found this. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/jul/18/big-butterfly-count-uk-numbers-recovery
    • Had a Red Admiral in front driveway today. Hadn't seen one for some time
    • It’s a flat fee levy payable by guests staying in hotel and hostel rooms, so added to the bill.  This already happens in Manchester and Liverpool ( I think in Liverpool it’s a percentage, so the more expensive rooms pay more). I read somewhere that Edinburgh is doing this next year? Charges of this kind are becoming common around the world. I think it absolutely makes sense for Southwark and other boroughs are bound to follow.
