Sadiq Khan’s outburst on spiralling London Stadium costs has been greeted with mild amusement by West Ham.
The Mayor of London’s demand for an investigation earlier today has been seen as an obvious move by a politician looking to increase his personal popularity.
One insider told ClaretandHugh: “It’s a cute move by him but in real terms entirely meaningless.
So he wants an investigation into the situation – well he would wouldn’t he because the other lot did the deal. Makes sense from his point of view.”
The fact is that the only West Ham come out of this deal blameless after the previous government had insisted that a stadium built for athletics would have an athletics legacy.
When that turned out not to be the case they found themselves with a stadium which granted to a football club where necessary alterations had to be made. That the costs grew was not West Ham’s issue. That responsibility belongs elsewhere.
Why Mr Khan wants an investigation is a mystery beyond apportioning blame on the previous Town Hall admistration.
Our source said: “It certainly doesn’t help in the here and now. It’s just politics and meaningless in the real scheme of things. The club has bigger issues to solve and can’t take this very seriously.”
Just wants spiralling costs to go up by having an inquiry that costs money,about inquiries that cost money,no wonder they’re spiralling. COYI
Fans can moan all they want i couldn’t care anymore.The atmosphere was brilliant against CFC.Its some of the oldies doing most of the moaning.They get set in their ways & then cant handle change.Not all oldies of course before i get ripped apart by the Silver Surfers on here 🙂
so he wants an investigation Into an investigation of an investigation into an investigation? mmm that will put tax-payers money to good use.
can’t that movie be reshot at the LS & blow that up instead?
now if we can stop our own fans wearing other teams tops & fighting each other everything will be ok in the world lol 😉
Lol 32.Well if they are looking for any allies in running down the ground the prosecution can call on some of the 24/7 whingers on the sister site.
Yep just another day of the same old farts moaning about the LS on there.Other clubs fans must be in heaven reading their whining.
Same as all this ‘awful violence’ at the stadium against Chelsea. Its a good job they were nowhere near those Besiktas & Napoli fans.Now that was proper fighting 🙂
I want to see what the tax payers alliance and the so called Olympic stadium coalition make of knocking the place down and rebuilding it hahaha
Never before have i seen a football club haunted like West Ham are over the London Stadium. The Supporter’s groups whipped up by the corrupt media are out to destroy the club. With the help of the media away Supporters can now come to the ground, instigate trouble, which is the reported by the media as a West Ham problem, don’t get me wrong, a small minority off our supporters let us down, but when you have a Chelsea fan running at you across the no go zone then it will provoke trouble. Let’s build our own ground and leave the London Stadium to rot.
That’s us made another friend in high places then….
