I don't think it will be 400 mill more. As I say Levy would have costed it all out before all this. Otherwise he would have said it aint on. We'll see.

OK I will be clear, I want to stay at WHL..

Righto.


However I see that Levy is a property guru and very good at it, I also see the potential of vast profit if the Olympic stadium choice was used.

Accepted. But would this profit go to Spurs or to Enic? It may be the view of Enic that, should they move us over the river, Northumberland Park is then theirs to exploit and cut the club out altogether.

Thereby leaving us fans in an area of London we don't want to be in, in a cut price stadium, lacking the type of atmosphere that the Northumberland Park Stadium is designed specifically for, with a 'token sum' given to the team to buy players.

All speculation but possible wouldn't you agree?

All those things you mention naming rights etc. can all be done at the Olympic site as well as re developing WHL for profit. Make no mistake when the goons took on a 350M project they knew that within a few years they would be reaping the redevelopment of the old ground. staying at WHL we will get some of that because of the land we have bought up but nowere near as much.

But the goons don't have the development that is planned for Spurs mate. Yes, they'll reap the benefits of the sale of those properties. But that is finite. Once sold, they're gone. We will have a continued influx of cash from the Hotel and Hypermarket, either through personal management (of the Hotel) and ground rent for the Hypermarket, or ground rent for both. I believe we will also have property for sale there.

So I have been mearly pointing out that we are faced with a choice of very strong finances early on or high risk and tradition intact.

Cool. I was just a tad confused on where you stood regarding the move.

We also dont want West Ham to get an easy ride as the only potential bidders, cos if they are, then it will be them with the team building cash not us.

There is that granted. What I keep thinking, though, is that the Spam cannot maintain their current debt. Add the extra expense of buying the stadium, remodelling it and then trying to keep it full ............ They have a loyal following but it is a small one. I'd see their debt just increasing, particularly when you consider just how badly mismanaged they've been, financially, for so many years.




West ham will have upton park to cash in on dont forget

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that they no longer owned Upton Park.

Frankly I think they should take away the top teir and gift the stadium to the Orient with a 25k seating capacity. after all the stadium was paid for by londoners it should be seen to be helping the smaller clubs not the already rich. and it's Orients Patch, infact they gave up their training ground to the zone.

Now that I'd go along with.

Having said all that I think you may be closer than you think with the ENIC theory. Does a billionare who got his a*se smacked in the banking crisis go the sympethetic route and stay at WHL or will he want to go get his money back by developing WHL after precuring a peach of a deal off his govenment pals for the olympic developement????? Not forgetting the up keep of the Olympic zone will cost a fortune and the local govenment wont want to cover that.
