Not that they don't have a case! I can't understand personally why Newham felt the £40million loan was justifiable. Let's face it, if we stayed at Upton Park and Tottenham moved to Stratford, the borough would suddenly boast two Premiership teams instead on one, which would surely be a boost to employment and commerce in Newham wouldn't it?
So Newham Council have put West Ham ahead of respite care for the disabled, and once weekly refuse collection, and local libraries and goodness knows what else, in order to reduce employment and business opportunities in the borough. Odd don't you think, if you put aside the Claret & Blue tinted glasses?
Mind you, I'm not sure what Hearn thinks he will gain by joining forces with Spurs in this challenge. Does he really want Tottenham on his doorstep instead of West Ham? How would that help Orient exactly? It sounds to me like potting the yellow and snookering yourself behind the black!
One thing is for sure, now lawyers are involved, costs are going to climb. How much will the council tax payers of Newham have to cough up as the council seek to defend the decision? And how much will it cost the club if this develops into a protracted legal battle?
This could get very, very messy!

Here's what Hearn thinks he'll get out of it: http://netcapital-londonsfootballblog.blogspot.com/p/capital-catch-up_11.html
He aint half what he looks
Lovely snooker metaphor, mind
As an American futbol fan I have to hate Manu but dam I hate the spurs. Someone once told me the 8 mil euros 'Arry paid for rvv was a deal, I said yeah but is he worth the headache (diamanti in mind)
Can the review lead to a reversal of the decision or is it purely about financial compensation. If a reversal is possible then presumably WH will take action and the issue is a never ending spiral of claim and counter claim. Personally I am against the move so I have mixed feelings. Tho I hate to say it I think Spurs plans for the stadium & Crystal Palace are a much better solution than our continuation of an athletics stadium with football. I will never be convinced that a running track and football go together. On the other hand I understand the need to progress and generate income.
