End of the day..if someone was giving away £500million..You'd be silly not to at least put ya name down eh
For spurs its the cheaper option than building a stadium in Tottenham which as been in the planning for afew yrs now called the northumberland project which has already been backed and passed by the revelant council..Its just the council wanted spurs to pay for it all with no grants/funding and also pay for a new tube station/travel infrastructure...if someones giving away an already to go flashy new stadium with no costs hell thats some saving and asset to gain.
(Arsenals emirates stadium was 50% paid for my its council and government funding)
So Mr levy (are chairman and AEG) aka greedy coperate bastards went for the cheaper option regardless of the heritage of a club that been in Tottenham since 1892.
Its possible and word is that Tottenham only bidded to push the councils hand and call there bluff cause like i said if you take away the football club from Tottenham there's fook all there and the area will pretty much die.
And lorre your right give it afew years that track will be dug up no doubt about it...
Like i said if someone was giving away £500million thats not a bad asset to suddenly gain.
Long as the Spurs bid wasn't/isn't successful im a very happy boy
