, a company headed by a former chief engineer on the ship, who recently advised its current owners on plans to turn it into a luxury hotel in dubai .
during the discussions, it was suggested that the project could create 450 jobs and would be worth an estimated £178 million by 2018 .
out of time claims to be involved in projects in the uk and usa “conservatively” valued between £30 million and £138 million, and offers potential investors a return of 40 per cent “with a reasonable exit strategy. ”
however, no doubt wary of being branded the city which turned down a chance to bring the historic ship back to the uk, it has not made any announcement about its plans .
a wise move, in view of the latest from dubai, who this week made a rare announcement about their own proposals for the ship, which they bought in 2008 for $ 100 million .
the original plan was to convert the 40 - year - old vessel into a luxury hotel, to be moored at a purpose - built berth on the man - made palm jumeirah island .
the economic downturn has so far prevented any work being carried out on the ship, and it remains at port rashid, just a few hundred yards from visiting cruise ships. a skeleton crew of about 50 keep it in good condition, and it continues to produce its own power using the on - board diesel generators .
responsibility for the vessel and its future appears to have been passed between different divisions of dubai world, the government - owned company which paid $ 100 million to buy the ship from carnival corporation and cunard .
this week nakheel has said that plans for the palm berth have been dropped because they now plan to build 102 houses on the site. qe2, under the ownership of istithmar, will remain at port rashid to become an integral part of the growing cruise terminal .
newspaper. “the government of dubai is developing an up - to - date modern cruise terminal. that will be better environment. it will stay in dubai. the qe2 will stay in dubai. ”
will speculation now end? i doubt it. rumours have been rife from even before qe2 left sounthampton in november 2008 for its farewell voyage to dubai .
there was talk of a move to cape town to provide hotel accommodation for the 2010 world cup but that came to nothing, as did a similar suggestion that it could be used at this december’s world sailing championships in fremantle, australia .

ellen cutler brings with her with experience of leading investment programmes in florida, scotland and the south west of england. her most recent role was director of investment for sheffield city region local enterprise partnership .
actually not ,
says klopp .
everybody asks me about it. so, it' s a year. quite a busy year. intense. yes, with a few ups and a few downs and a really optimistic view of the future that we still have. nothing else happened .
nothing ?
from my side it was a bit … a really short year. it was really like this ,
he adds, with a click of his fingers .
hopefully there' ll be more .
not that he' s setting a time frame on the team' s success .
i never thought about the tempo or the speed of our progress ,
he says .
i only knew that we have to get better. but that' s how life is because even when you are good you need to get better because all around will get better too. to stay in a race, it' s development. it' s everything .
“i did good things like this when i first started sports science. i worked with handicapped people, not only not seeing but not hearing or other issues. so i’m quite sensitive about this. i worked in a hospital. i was teaching wheelchair tennis. everything we can do to make life a little bit easier is just fantastic. in the end, it’s not about being blind or being handicapped, it’s how we think about it. so we have to do everything we can so everybody can live a completely normal life like we have. that’s why i love these kind of sports. ”
the reference to development is appropriate given the surroundings. banners of academy graduates such as steven gerrard billow from the masts around the pitch. a dressing room is named after jamie carragher. it' s not merely decoration. that this place is a living, breathing link between past and present is underlined as steve mcmanaman walks by .
i never saw a game again here, to be honest ,
he admits .
that was my first and last game here because last season we had absolutely no time for anything else. i saw one under - 23 game at tranmere. i' d like to do this much more often. i did this with my former clubs all the time. that' s one of the reasons why we' re thinking about coming together here .
“of course, it makes sense that they get used to it as early as possible but not too early. we don’t have to talk about it with a 10 to 12 - year - old. there has to be individual development. that’s very important. there’s a moment where you have to be involved in team tactics and all that stuff. we work very close together. ”
that' s a reference to the tentative plans for the first - team to move from melwood to the base in kirkby. he is working with first - team development coach pep lijnders to come up with a solution but recognises the benefits. they are not only the tangible ones he highlights such as less travel and more sessions to watch. it' d be symbolic of a commitment to youth .
i understand the job ,
says klopp .
as the manager of a football club here, you need to be interested in all that stuff because i have always been longer term in my clubs. when i saw a 16 - year - old player who was good, i could always wait for him when he came up at some point. now it' s the same situation and that' s why i' m really interested in all these boys .
we have to create a situation where these boys see a real perspective, that' s very important. it' s very important because they need to know there' s a way .
it' s not altruism that motivates him .
that' s not unselfish ,
he adds .
it' s selfish, because we want these boys. we want to help them and we want them to help us from a specific point on .
“we’re really looking forward to a fantastic game. i think it’s a perfect moment for seeing is believing because this game, you have to see it to believe it. ”
klopp knows it' s not an exact science. he light - humouredly mocks the culture of telling the parents of every prospective signing that their boy is the next wonderkid and claims that while
you need scouting
he doesn' t believe he can tell which 10 - year - old is really going to make it .
i think it' s much too early ,
he says, preferring to encourage enjoyment instead .
but one anecdote he shares harking back to his days as a youth coach reveals much about his attitude. klopp was only 21 at the time, and yet it seems to have informed his philosophy ever since .
i was very young and when i first made it i got a team ,
says the now 49 - year - old german .
after one year a kind of sports director came to me .
he asked:' how many new players do you want for next season when we move to the next age group?' i said:' i don' t want a new player.' he said:' you always take new players. who is the best from the other clubs?' i said:' i' m not interested. i want to keep these players. i want to keep this team. maybe there' s a better one but i want to work with this one.'
it' s a reminder that, first and foremost, klopp is a coach. there' s even a guarantee .
actually, i can promise that before we sign a player which is not a lot better than what we have, we' ll always use our own boys ,
he says .
that' s how it is. that' s how the future should be. even in this crazy football transfer world, we want to be this special club .
it' s a persuasive argument, but the message is that it will take time. players are responding to his methods and starting to see the benefits, but it' s only the start .
nothing is finished at the moment ,
says klopp .
we' ve changed a few things but not too much because i think that what is really good here is that we have the kind of football that we play .
mayor joe anderson said: “the massive amount of regeneration which started in this city in 2013 is very encouraging and shows that we are beginning to overcome the economic downturn .
projects started last year include a £100m investment in three new schools – including the £17m archbishop beck sports college – and two new university buildings .
there’s also been a £331m investment in health facilities – including the new alder hey children’s hospital – creating 417 new jobs. meanwhile £60m is being spend on new office space and shops, creating a combined 3, 323 jobs .
there was also the opening of american fashion chain forever 21’s flagship store in the city centre and the building of almost 500 new homes .
the figures are good news for mayor anderson, who pledged to create 20, 000 new jobs during his four year term .
he said: “there is much more still to do, but i’m delighted with the progress we are making, because, ultimately, every penny invested here helps us build a better future for our city. ”
mipim cannes is the premier event in the european real estate calendar and has become europe’s showcase for major cities, property developments, investment opportunities and international networking. it has over 2, 000 exhibiting companies covering 80 countries with 20, 000 individual participants. over 4, 000 of these are investors and 3, 000 chief executive or chairman level. we are attending again this year .
the city council said a total of £1. 06bn worth of development schemes got underway last year across the city, which are collectively expected to create more than 4, 250 jobs .
“we are seeing the buzz and activity of development taking part in every part of the city, businesses are choosing to locate here and new and refurbished homes are springing up in our neighbourhoods. ”
