Funnily enough, many of the Anti Levy brigade were cheering Leciester's owners and spending power.

seems the Leicester fans patience has run out.

When vardy retires they will go down. And I want us to be the team that sends them down.

Must be tricky - winning a miraculous (and given the ascendancy of Liverpool to win the title if Man City have another off year, impossible to repeat) title followed by their first ever FA Cup... where do you go after that as a fanbase? Their best hope is probably for Europa League.

An actual victim of their own success.

I thought their last summer business was going to be masterclass. It's been anything but.

Levy had been negotiating fruitlessly with Haringey for a decade before the riots.

Scholar and Sugar at that stage were history. Lammy btw was not directly involved in regeneration (ultimately done by council with government help) but as a local MP very much a helpful useful cheerleader and enabler/communications conduit where required.

However the major point to make is that Haringey Council , dominated by the labour party., had steadfastly refused to make any changes for decades before the riots. I think its correct to say that after Tottenham had been rebuilt post WW2 by 1960's Haringey had not built any new housing (at least of any scale) any where in the wards around the stadium.

And the stadium was caught up in the lack of development of the area.

The riots changed the perspective of Haringey Labour party triggering both plans for building of new homes as ell as permitting the stadium to be built. I'm pleased as well that Spurs were instrumental in the building of some 1,500 new homes (with no issues of quality or poor build, sadly an issue in some new builds) on disused industrial land largely before the stadium build

I still think you miss the substantive point. The Borough is centrally funded as are all local governments. I don't know about you but I have lived there. Haringey has a myriad of issue and the priority has never been( nor should it) the football club. Fans are myopic about the wants and needs of their clubs, to the exclusion of all else

Tory budget cuts and scrapping of everything from Sure Start to the hardship fund meant less had to go further. For many people (some of the poorest demographics in our country ) the regeneration that you fondly speak of was not the panacea you make it out to be. It mean less affordable housing and existing communities being eased out. I think your rather slanted political point scoring was one sided and not the full picture. My Ex was a health visitor in Haringey and so much good work was undone by austerity.

For the record there are still communities deeply unhappy about some of the clubs real estate and land speculation and what 'regeneration' is doing to their area.Its still a luce issue. Please reflect not everyone shares our joy at the shiny stadium. I am conscious of sidetrackimg the forum but feel I have in some way redressed your narrative. I don't as you can tell agree with nearly any of it.

Their overspending is on a par with City, unsustainable. Similar clubs to Reading and QPR without the financial drip
