Spurs have been given permission to play all CL games at Wembley next season and all league games season after

Greed on their part. Seeing as WHL will be used for all their domestic games, I'm assuming they're hoping for bigger crowds in the CL. They'd want to be wary of playing there. From what I remember, that little trick didn't work out too well for their neighbours.
 
which is why it was not surprising that people like Clattenburg helped them seal top 4.

I think it's ridiculous really, but Spurs will be in the top 4 for a few seasons now. We'll have to be so good under Pep that we beat everyone regardless of the politics, which we've failed to do the past 2 seasons.

Yep.

Levy will charge 100 quid and probably won't get nowhere the attendance he'd get at WHL or even MK Dons where they were looking. Very arrogant to think they'll fill wembley for CL matches with FC Latvian plumbers.
 
Personally I don't think they should be allowed to use Wembley, but it's all about greed and backhanders.
 
Seems like a bit of an unfair advantage.. You think we'd get Wembley if our stadium couldn't be used for a year? I hope they have to pay thru the nose for it
 
By all accounts they are at least paying the going rate for Wembley, unlike West Aaaam, so I don't have too many complaints. Wembley is a massive waste of space and is always whoring itself out to try and pay for it's ridiculously bloated expense, so it makes sense to be available to club teams. All it does though is it completely undermines building it in the first place
 
its just the poor southern teams trying to do all they can to look big and wealthy. only means there will be more people to see them lose.
 
Seems fair to me. The new ground they're building overlaps WHL significantly so it might not comply with UEFA safety rules.

This is what I was going to post. Sure, it's a strange situation but at least the stadium is being used? Not sure what Spurs are paying but I can't imagine it's anything like the shocking deal (to the taxpayer) that West Ham got for the Olympic stadium, fucking 15 mil. Still annoys me reading that! 272 MILLION the cost to the taxpayer, unbelievable Jeff!
 
Can't see that using Wembley would be an advantage for them. Wembley for me failed to be special once it hosted semi finals. Also, for the money that was Spunked on it, I don't think it looks that good. Anyway, let them play there, who really cares?
