Cllr Terry James, leader of the Lib Dems on Herefordshire Council, isn't happy with the two year lease deal offered to a new football club for Edgar Street.
"This two year lease and then with a break clause makes it look very suspicious that the Council has another agenda of making the club fail and thereby being able to get the ground and use it as a cash cow," James told BBC Hereford and Worcester.
"I think the lease is too short.
"In order to get people to put money into the club , it will need hundreds of thousands of pounds in the coming years in order to get the club up and running again.
"To offer just a two year lease is harmful to that being achievable."

However Tony Johnson, leader of the Council, didn't agree and said there were interested parties.
"We have a responsibility to be quite sure that what we are doing is what is in the best interest of the owners and a residents of this county," said Johnson.
"It would be a derelection of duty not to look at all options.
"And those options would include perhaps playing football somewhere else and doing something different with the ground.
"Who knows?".
