The Real Madrid case is closest to the Ricoh one The price of the land was over valued in their case, under-valued in the Ricoh but the principle is the same No wonder Duggins is lashing out

My take-away from the 2011 complaint was the lawyers for West Ham and the Legacy Company (who must have been expensive and high powered) advised both sides that the EC complaint had a good chance of success That's why they pulled what would have been the most sensible outcome for the stadium I'm...

I have no specific inside info but looking at things in the round there are grounds for hope Mark Robins has been given a lot of authority to do things his way and seems to have been given backing to get players in early He must have a good idea of the way forward Expect more changes in the...

It caused both sides to pull out They probably had legal advice to do so As the sale didn't go through the complaint would have died as the deal the complaint was about didn't happen

Don't know on this one but as the deal wasn't solely with West Ham it would have been more complicated British Athletics had a long lease for a period in the summer months and it's also used for concerts and other events by the stadium operators The earlier complaint was against the sale in its...

Same ownership Nick

Unfortunately no idea But the difference is that in the UK courts the complainant has to put the case and pay the legal costs My understanding is that if the EC takes up the case whoever makes the complaint isn't on the hook for costs but the defendant will be

There were two complaints The one CCFC88 mentioned in his post which is about the rental agreement but also one in 2011 when the stadium was being sold in its entirety to West Ham Spurs Deny Scuppering Olympic Stadium Bid Spurs Deny Scuppering Olympic Stadium Bid 24/06/2019 09:36 Spurs Deny...

I reckon you could be right PB I also suspect the complaint to the EC is what's caused Duggins and his cheer leaders to go on the attack The precedent of the complaint to the EC about the Olympic stadium has probably filled his pants

Ironically the situation at the London Olympic stadium somewhat mirrors that at the Ricoh Blunders made at the planning stage meant that it wasn't designed for conversion to a football stadium after the games As football is the only sport that can sustain a large stadium without public funds a...

Well if nothing else it restores my faith in human nature Two young players have also contributed in this and last year's appeals which is great to see

Respect Duggins?

West Ham after Wilson I think they'll get him

This guy causes trouble wherever he goes While at West Ham he was getting mini-cabs on the club account to take him back to Manchester to go clubbing An extremely disruptive lad with mates who make Jonno Clark-Harris look like a choir boy

Interesting that no loans have been announced yet I think we all expect some but Premier League teams often take their best youngsters to pre-season tours to see how they manage in the first team before letting them go out

It's probably a silver lining and good news for Jones The lad was desperate to get back last season and possibly came back too soon If we're flying with the new signings Jones will be able to play U23 games and gradually regain his confidence Others have said that the mental side of things is a...

I heard.a while back that a big guy was coming in from a Dutch team but assumed it was the Chelsea lad we signed shortly afterwards who'd been on loan there Maybe I was wrong as this lad would fit the bill

He's been sending cryptic signals like this on his private networks apparently Some of his Cov team mates think he would like another season with us but that can only happen if Wolves pay the vast majority of his salary

He is

Absolutely correct This lad will have taken a big reduction in past wages to come here but from his character I suspect playing at a decent level in a team that play good football and have a chance of success is his immediate priority His agent is Rio Ferdinand's company who I believe look to...
