    All down to spurs giving them money
    Hope they don't clash with anyone paying more money.
    They may have to play on the village green if that happens lol

    Spurs are paying a fair whack, unlike ****ing West Ham who were essentially given a stadium.

    I have an unhealthy dislike for West Ham personally but this was the cherry on the well iced cake for me. Still can't work the deal out. Makes no financial sense for the government as far as I can see

    It's obvious if you think about it and look at things in a historical sense.

    How have fraudsters, brothel owners, gangsters, etc gotten away with so much over the years?

    Just take a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cynthia_Payne as just one example.

    British political intrigue, corruption and blackmail go hand in hand.

    This has 'a deal' written all over it and someone has kept their name out of the tabloids in exchange for a 'favour' ..... just as it's always been.

    Make no mistake mate, this in how things are done in football ..... just look at FIFA if you doubt me.
