Dissing Sir Trev - come on - that bloke is Mr football!! Money for Boleyn - cleared toxic debt Let's see where everything is in 12 months? So WHU were able clear millions of pounds of debt at the same time as making a move to new, larger improved stadium without having to make any cuts to their operating budget. They will be able to use this new facilty for 99 years at approximately zero cost. This seems to be a clear case of state sponsorship of a private sports team. This deal was approved by the ruling government and the tory mayor of London. The country appears to be in the control of financial pygmies.

Money for Boleyn - cleared toxic debt So you win a loaded shitty Public Money Lottery and don't give up a penny from the associated Capitalist certainty. Lurrvely work if you can get it Well it's looking that way at the moment

It seems that Malcolm is levelling a lot of the blame on Boris' more than ample shoulders. Without wishing to be too pedantic, the legacy planning started under Red Ken and War Criminal Blair's watch. In fact, Boris actively encouraged the bid from Tottenham which was based on demolishing the stadium. It was Seb Coe that neutered that option, both with backing of IOC and senior members of the Houses of Commons & Lords. it would send out a message that athletics in Britain was not being taken seriously, and to be honest I think that was the right call. I personally believe that West Ham have got a steal of a deal though. The Ricoh Arena has shown that 20 home games a season is not the only way for a ground to pay for itself. far more revenue comes in from corporate events and concerts. With that in mind, the powers that be should have played hard ball with the dildo twins given it was crystal clear that they wanted to cash in on their own ground. Fair enough. The responsibility may well be more widely spread. The fundamental points remain the same though. Not a case study of quality public decision-making

He's an FA bum boy and everyone knows it. Stop trying to be smart arsehole. Yes he is an FA bum boy,I agree. What has that got to do with any of this? Not trying to be smart but how has Brooking or the FA been involved? It hasn't and I never said it did. Read what I actually replied to with the original Brooking comment.

As far as I know, the FA had no involvement at all. Incidentally, Trevor Brooking has retired from the FA. Didn't think they did, thought I'd missed something for second then. Yeah, you did. I only brought him up because someone said West Ham were favoured by the FA.

Incorrect - Next? Next? The truth of the deal eventually comes out. Probably after a few more inquiries/court cases etc, while all the time WHU and the authorities continue to state that they have nothing to hide and that the deal is a good one for the tax payer. Next? After an even longer wait the EU will conduct an inquiry into the legallity of the arrangement. Lawyers will make millions. There may even be some hints at corruption involved in the deal, however the idea of any corruption in area of football related administration will be seen as being so far fetched that no one will take it seriously.

Haha how am I? It is clearly there that somebody made the point WH were the darlings of the FA, I said basically said yeah, that is Trevor Brooking's doing. Never said it was anything to do with the OP.
