HSBC was actually close to being a done deal, but the HSBC board rejected it because of the image of the PL vs image of *Rubgy *insert posh sport name*.Having loans at HSBC, Goldman Sachs and Bank of America.
In a simple world Levy should just ‘swap’ (one of) the loans with a naming rights deal for one of those banks

Indeed, the same "upper management bloke" that worked for AIA and got us the AIA deal went to work for HSBC and that was Levy his main contact to get a deal done for HSBC too, but the board ruled out a football sponsorship because they're already invested in cycling and rugbyHSBC was actually close to being a done deal, but the HSBC board rejected it because of the image of the PL vs image of *Rubgy *insert posh sport name*.
No idea about the money involved with HSBC but it's supposed to be £20m pa we are asking for naming rights.How do you know that?
Also, how much are we looking for?

I can't get my head around why anyone would spend £25m per year to name a stadium but hey.Sounds about right
Interest will be 25m and naming rights will pay off the capital loan no doubt.
Like Joe Lewis perhaps, much as Man City's owners do for them.Wouldn't it be great is a rich as hell bloke came and and sponsored the stadium and insisted its called White Hart Lane?
Big Joe wont do that though will he? Or he would have done so by now,surely.Like Joe Lewis perhaps, much as Man City's owners do for them.
AIA have an exclusive shirt contract so sleeve sponsor is only possible when that expires/ is renegotiatedNo chance of 20m Barca couldn’t get that. There is also the sleeve sponsorship which Levy is holding back till the stadium is sponsored.
Caught up with a good mate today that works in Events Management who had a knees up with a bloke who's an Woolwich fan + worked on the stadium as an architect at some level. Basically he said that withnthe goings on there with rival fans it really isn't a surprise we had delays. When I asked if he meant sabotage he just winked and smiled at me.
I've known this guy for what must be about 10 years now and he's sound. Wouldn't make it up so unless some goon Architect is stirring the pot randomly so long after everything got resolved I'd say that it's a strong possibility the biggest mistake we made was hiring lower level workers that directly have/ had an agenda against Spurs. Make of it what you will lads & ladies.

Bus them in from the North East?How on earth would you exclusively hire construction workers on a London-based project who support football teams that aren't rivals of Tottenham?
What, at the Etihad? Formerly the city of Manchester stadium?Like Joe Lewis perhaps, much as Man City's owners do for them.
