I'd have thought you would just have to pay up whatever was left on the contract, regardless of when the firing happened.
Sounds like another anti-Levy conspiracy theory.

I guess it might be like overpaying a repayment mortgage; different penalty %s based on how many years left.
People do say quite often that the manager gets completely paid up i.e. all basic salary for all remaining months, but I don't know if that is true or why that has to be true; surely someone like Levy would add a release clause to any contract whereby a sacked manager gets a certain amount?
If Ange stank the place out and was sacked after 5 games, he wouldn't expect his ENTIRE wage for years and years to be paid out, surely?

What is the difference between ITK and a 'rock solid' source?????

ITK= small gonads
Rock solid = Big gonads.

Is that really the case? I wasn't aware of that. Why would that be a requirement (presumably it isn't for any of the other venues)?

I assume its for use of FIFA staff, match officials and the press etc. Most other stadiums have suitable accommodation nearby or as part of the stadium complex. I doubt Infantino and co would put up with the Travelodge off the North Circular.

 

[Gutter Boy]

That would make sense. I read @Gutter Boy's "contractually obliged to provide it" as if it were a part of the venue facilities we had committed to make available. Which would be odd considering the gap between the number of people it could accommodate vs the number of spectators attending.

Yeah, sorry. I meant as part of the stadium's infrastructure. Not to contribute to capacity for fans.

We probably had to pull all the stops out to get the second London gig ahead of West Ham or Arsenal (with similar capacities and better transport)

I’d be amazed if any of them stayed in Tottenham at all. They’ll all be ferried back to their central London hotels.

It’s the eternal question; right up there with how does Bradley Walsh have a successful TV career?

The hotel has started
They have dug freaking holes in the ground and have materials in place
Any talk of that stopping is complete fabrication IMO
Lee McQueen gets his info or at least some of it via Alan Sugar. Now sugar would be a good source but I’m not sure he would have all the inside track anymore
