I don't think we want the OS with a running track, so now our main aim is that West Ham is saddled with the track, and that looks like what will happen. But this saga has lots more chapters without doubt.
the Guardian has an article on the story http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/201...ign=Feed: theguardian/football/rss (Football) A relevant part is as follows Ford told the London Assembly committee: "The thing that I have learned in the last 12 months is that there has been all kinds of behaviour. There has been legal challenges and people have stood behind it anonymously – all kinds of things have happened. My board were put under surveillance by Tottenham Hotspur and the chairman of Tottenham Hotspur felt confident enough to say in the Sunday Times several months ago that all 14 members of my board were put under surveillance. The Metropolitan police are now conducting an investigation into that surveillance. "There has been all kinds of behaviour here that I could not have anticipated which, believe me, has not been pleasant in the last 12 months." The Sunday Times article in question, revealing that an OPLC director had moonlighted for West Ham during the bid, raising concerns over a conflict of interest, did not contain any such admission from Levy. Text 'emboldening' my me. Retraction by the Baroness tomorrow or not?

Oops! Looks like she's dropped herself right in it there, doesn't it?
I was going to answer your question, till I saw your little 'poem' at the end, so then I thought, 'why bother'.
Because it is an interesting topic and I wondered if you had any factual evidence to counter the ST claim. You clearly haven't got any so you decide to deflect from that fact by raising another issue in the hope that my query be forgotten. Oh well.....
lol how sad. I'll see if I can find the actual article so that you can at least pretend to know what you're talking about.
I think the sad thing is you coming on here with that signature, I know exactly what I'm talking about in relation to what I posted in the thread. How you expect any Spurs fan to debate with you coming on here and talking about us like you do is beyond me.
Oh well, I won't embarrass you with any more awkward requests for facts etc. I'll just watch from the shadows and enjoy the fallout
Quite astonishing that an Arsenal fan feels qualified to gloat about unsubstantiated claims made about Spurs, when they support the only club in English football history to have gained promotion from a secret deal rather than league position. Oh well....
The bid for London Two Thousand And Twelve said staging the event would cost £3bn, when in actual fact it has passed £9bn thus far. That's fraud.
The OPLC Board has 14 members? How many members do you need? We are also advised they had a Director who apparently had nothing to do with the bidding process. Is this whole saga been invented so nobody thinks of asking the OPLC why they need so many high level members/employees?
We're still waiting for Brady and Sullivan to prove the allegations of phone hacking they made three months ago... The person arrested has been bailed until February - presumably because the police need three months to make something up to charge him with in order to satisfy orders.
The Times is a subscription only website now, so even if we did we wouldn't be able to post a working link to it. You'd assume that The Guardian have checked it though and I certainly don't remember Levy saying it. You'd have thought that the press would've picked up on it at the time, if he had.
