We were never getting the Brady Bowl. We were getting our stadium in the location of the Olympic Stadium.

I wasn’t for it, but wasn’t totally against it either, and understood why people were up for it.

We definitely ended up with the best outcome though
Football clubs shouldn't leave the area for which they are named. That lot in Islington did just that. And we rightly still give them stick for it. The idea of us doing it is stomach churning
 
Every day we don't have a stadium sponsor, we are losing money. Just get it done.

Not necessarily ...

Sign a ten year deal for 15m a year in 2020 it's worth 150m
Sign a nine year deal for 20m in 2021 it's worth 180m

Would we have lost money come 2030 or in fact made 30m more? Of course the gamble is that you will sign a better deal. Let Covid pass and companies start to look to reestablish brands as the world's economy (hopefully) bounces back.

Oh hooray for this imaginary offer that comes in for a higher annual value over a shorter term despite the competitive position of the club eroding, some of the NFL games that made the rights appealing already being burned through, the temporary name of Tottenham Hotspur Stadium getting ever more established and diluting the brand value, and oh yeah the catastrophic global financial recession.

Levy absolutely screwed the pooch on this. The offer he had in hand in 2018 was the best one that was ever going to come, but he is psychotically dedicated to brinksmanship and the grenade blew up in his hand.
