4 months away? :think:Also what is Borris willing to give to not have a court case hanging over the Olympics, which is 4 months away.
Also it is a bit of real estate that cost £500m.
Exactly. Nobody thinks anybody is going to turn around and give us the stadium now. However, we invested money, time and energies into a process that was both flawed and unfair so we want to recoup something.
I'm obviously no legal bod here, but we've spent money putting together a bid - there are suspicions that the process was flawed from the start and we end up with nothing for our money. We are obviously bummed about losing that much cash, but simple questions about the process are being ignored when it should be entirely transparent.So you want the taxpayer to reimburse Tottenham for a risk they factored in before deciding to make a bid ?
Is anyone else getting a bit tired of all this bailing out nonsense and companies doing business by the threat of legal action ?
Why exactly was the process flawed and unfair ? Just cos Daniel Levy couldn't get his own way ?
Hope we get stung with massive great legal feels for this .

Haringay are desperate to keep us so following this logic why don't newham want two football clubs in the borough?
Historical, it always has been and it's not what the place is like it's how the council deals with it.I don't know anything about Newham Council, but given your above statement, why is the whole place suck a pike hole?
A couple of other points of note with regard to Newham Council. The leader of the council has declared that he has received 39 gifts from West Ham FC over the past 3 years. I have not seen the nature of the gifts but even 39 lots of match tickets adds up to a few thousand pounds.
There was also an article on the BBC website before the Newham Council vote about the guarantees (or lack of them) for the loan. It was suggested that if West Ham were to be relegated and go into administration, the council would not be indemnified for any losses it may suffer. I have not seen any subsequent articles on this issue but if true it would also warrant a judicial review.
Can anyone explain what we are trying to get out of this? I don't mean putting pressure on Boris but what the judicial review itself would mean for Spurs? Are we trying to find out if the loan is legal or what? If it was given through improper channels what would that mean for West Hams bid?
I think that's the most question marks I've put in a paragraph in my life but if anyone can give a fuller explanation I'd much appreciate it.
It is looking more and more spurious a process the longer it drags on, huh? Seems everyone and their wife has a valid question to ask, yet get no answer.surely there is so much smoke surrounding the OPLC and Newham that they must call the tender award null & void and restart the process in a more open & accountable manner?
