So called claret & hugh "insiders" can let off as much steam as they want but I'd guess we, as tenants, will have absolutely no say in this matter.Quote:

After all that hapenned before I think it is almost certainly not going to happen.
Their options are :
Emirates - No Chance
OS - No Chance...cannot see Levy coming back cap in hand
Wembley - Could do it but when Arse used it a while back it was soulless and I think it would cost a fortune knowing the FA so I doubt Levy would go to it
MK Dons - They will use the money to pay for a new tier and its a nice ground - likely
Spurs playing in Milton Keynes XD XD XD
They can't use Wembley as only so many "events" can be staged there each year. Obviously Le A.rse is a no go. With it being the very same year we start using the OS there is not a snowballs chance in hell our owners,PR dept, marketing, corporate sponsors et al will allow anyone to encroach on the very selling point of the OS. OUR new home. If Levy even tried, expect legal action for months and months eventually ending in a Judicial review by which time it would be too late anyway. Milton Hotspur it will be!
Well I was saying spuds at the OS was a non-starter until I saw this...
"The London Legacy Development Corporation says it is open-minded about a possible Olympic Stadium share between West Ham and Spurs.
LLDC chief executive - and Spurs season ticket holder - Dennis Hone said: If they approached us, we would certainly talk."
money talks louder than principles or morals ;DQuote:

If Tottenham were to reach an agreement with the Legacy Committee which didn't involve a contribution towards the construction costs then we could contest either our own payments or Spurs non payments in court. Any legal battle would eventually involve the high court then the supreme court which would delay the process for so long that the spuds would not be able to plan their future never mind the fixture list.
Agreed. I actually think that given the uncertainty of their ground and the legal issues there, I think they will be homeless for more than a year.
