    I hope " Clouseau " isn't helping in the investigation

    Wonder if Brady will be demanding jail sentences for any one convicted as she does for those who lie about benefits cos "it is a crime".

    It's a Levy stitch up. :bandit:

    West Ham for getting the tax-payer stadium, and the Toons for selling us Sissoko.

    I do apologize, it's not the Cayman Isles,
    ENIC is registered in the even dodgier Bahamas.

    I seem to recall you getting a big state hand-out for your stadium, of course you always keep that quiet, just like the your tax dodging Bahamian registration of ENIC

    What state hand out did we get for the stadium?
    Genuinely curious.

    Except he hasn't used facts at all, clink the link and read it.
    CB holdings are registered in Cayman Islands and they control 10%, they are not the parent company, they are the creditors of the former Icelandic owners who decided to keep a share.
    ENIC, on the other hand IS Tottenhams parent company, and it is registered in an offshore country known mainly for it's mythical triangle and dodgy financial dealings.

    Now how did the dodgy Davids pass the fit and proper test, they sold Birmingham to a crook, football would be a lot better without them, and take that whore Brady with them, she has gone quiet for a change

    The Bahamas triangle ??????
    By the way ... how is our new stadium being funded by public money by a state hand out?

    No state handout that I'm aware of, but didn't you pretty much hold a gun to Haringey Council's head and screw them for local govt support and investment. Pretty sure the expression "pants taken down" was used to describe your club's dealings with cash strapped Haringey?

    They (due to funding cuts) were trying to make us pay for things that ghey are responsible such as the roads and pavements etc. Transport for London, the rail companies and GLA were also trying to force us to pay for station and other public transport improvments. Thats why the club threw their toys out of the pram.

    Two sides to every story mate, and I'm sure your chairman would say that he was just protecting the interests of the club (and it's shareholders). But the way this was reported in the local press, it all seemed to get very acrimonious, and there appears to be a lingering sense that the council - and it's elected representatives of one of the most deprived communities in the country - got shafted.

    Tbh it would not surprise me if the council and local community lost out in some way to a public company and I would never defend ordinary people losing out in such a way.
    However, councils are run by politicians and various extremely well paid directors who are more interested in their careers, wages and various perks than the communities they pretend to serve so I am always dubious of their claims.
    My question to Big Ern was cos he said we got state hand outs to build our stadium and we did not as far as I am aware.

    I know mate, I was just yanking your chain really.

    Although I'm pretty sure that if there were any state handouts on offer, Mr Levy would not have missed out :emoticon-0105-wink:

    They did get a state hand-out after they went crying to Boris when they lost the OS bid, though why he did after their blatant criminality during the bidding process is beyond me. why wasn't it in the news much? probably because the only set of fans pathetic enough to go whining about that sort of thing are spuds.
