    I think it allowed us to move from the Boleyn without having to do what Spurs did in investing long term in a home. I am not sure but seem to recall at the time that Spurs pulled out of a brief bid for the London stadium as their plans to develop it for football only were refused. I have said before that I don't find all the criticism of the board warranted but the Stadium and training ground are the ones that hold most weight for me. I think our owners have considered their reign as our owners rather than the clubs longer term prospects.

    Either Sullivan, Gold and Brady lied or they actually believed the nonsense they were peddling, in which case they are far more stupid than I imagined

    I wish I had their amount of money & be as stupid as S&B.

    Its easy

    For Sullivan it was make money in porn then invest in property

    Didn’t need much financial/business talent

    For Brady it was get a job with a porn baron through her father’s connections when she was 21 and spend the rest of her career looking after his money

    Didnt need ANY financial/business talent

    Sullivan and Gold had the same idea with Birmingham City and a proposed stadium for the Commonwealth games; move the club into a stadium paid for by the taxpayer and save money

    Spurs knew their proposal for the Olympic Stadium would be rejected but were using it for leverage to get out of various requirements from Haringey council. Those requirements were dropping after the Tottenham riots

    I'm afraid I can't take anything Tony Cottee says seriously after reading his book "West Ham: The Inside Story" which covers the end of his playing career and his ham-fisted attempt to take over the club
