That's just it. What's the point in getting a bargain if the item isn't what you're looking for. If I walk in to a plumbers outlet looking to buy a toilet and walk out with a great deal on a shower I've still got nothing to shit in.
Why? What's wrong with the shower?
The spammers don't seem to have a problem with it, they've fucking shit all over it...
Didn't even need a construction expert to tell us that it wasn't fit for purpose as a football stadium. Levy was banging that drum back when we were supposedly tendering for that site. So glad we never got it though!

Yeah I made that point earlier in the thread, although like you I didn't want to move to Stratford.
But looking at the whole dodgy (backhander ?) mess it's turned out to be, I wonder what neutrals or more importantly tax payers think of Levy's bid being rejected now ?
Stratford for us would have been a disaster on a different scale to what it is now with the Spammers. Upping sticks and moving us East would have made us no better than the likes of Woolwich and any other franchise FC that moves out their historic area. I still believe Levy was not as serious about going there and was using it as leverage against Harringey and the London Mayor's office to get us the best deal possible to stay where we are.

I remain convince that he used it as a bargaining tool.
I disagree.
imo Levy was completely serious about bidding for it, for him it would have pressed all the buttons - far cheaper to build the NDP blueprint there, rail and tube links to die for, only 4 stops from Bank, 4 from Canary Wharf, 3 from Liv St.....can you imagine what Levy was thinking he could have charged for Corporate Hostility boxes etc? (I'm all in favour of that lot paying top dollar).
Far easier also of course to get 58,000 Spurs fans in for a Monday night kick off.
Anyway, that ship has sailed. Hopefully we can kick some arse and get Northumberland Park tube depot converted to a station to get much quicker access to and from the tube. London owes us big time what with Boris the Buffoon getting us to bid for St Ratford under false pretences.
As long as Stratford was planned to be an NDP look like, I was pro, and I'm convinced that Levy was too. Bidding for it was an expensive process, and he absolutely doesnt like throwing money away.
And hiring investigators to look into what Brady was up too. Hardly the actions of someone bluffing.
I believe it started out as a bargaining chip, but the more he looked into it, the more he saw the potential.
I am just glad it never came off.It would have killed it for me ,pretty much.

But that expense is justified if it happens to make Wham look like a bunch of dodgy cunts.

The stadium was one of the few things I was genuinely ITK about (at the time of the OS bid). Yes Levy was very serious, as the site is far, far better for Corporate use which is a significant revenue stream. However he also made it clear that the only option was rebuilding it virtually from scratch.
Stoke city fans have started a thread for their game against Spam next weekend.. Have a look at what they called it..

Motives aside. He rumbled that fat moose and her comical Ali behavior way before most people did. So I at least credit Levy for that
