Good evening.
Difficult to remember when the phrase, ‘You couldn’t make it up’ was more apt. The Sunday Times have pulled a rather grubby looking rabbit out of a hat here. A table creaking feast of story in today’s issue.
Here then are the facts as presented. Corporate investigators hired by Levy & Co believe they have discovered payments the most recent of which was £4,800 made in June into the back account of a woman called Dionne Knight. The payments came from an account operated by Naughty Knickers Of Newham Ltd T/A West Ham United Football Club.
Dionne Knight is the Director of Corporate Services at OPLC or Olympic Park Legacy Company.
Dionne is in a relationship with a man called Ian Tompkins. Ian is a Director of West Ham Football Club.
Doorstepped by The Sunday Times, Dionne claimed that the monies – which she did not dispute – were paid for ‘some consultancy work’ she had done for the Porn Barons.
Dionne also disclosed that Karren Brady #facelikeakickedinfridge was fully aware of her ‘consultancy work’ , but that Dionne had not made the OPLC aware of it.
The timeline for this work was that it began two months before the decision to award the Stadium to West Ham. The Sunday Times believes that the corporate detectives were engaged by Tottenham two days before the decision was announced. Readers with keen memories will recall that West Ham began celebrating their ‘win’ at least a day before the decision was formally announced.
On Friday both Ian Tompkins and Dionne Knight were suspended from their positions. Yesterday, a solicitor acting for Dionne revealed that her consultancy work was, ‘a procurement contract in relation to the Olympic Stadium.’ So just to clarify, the Bid Director of West Ham Football Club was sleeping with the Olympic Park Legacy Company’s Director of Corporate Services.
Now this next bit is good. Dionne didn’t tell the OPLC that she was receiving money from the Porn Barons, but she did tell them that she was receiving in a relationship with Ian. So the OPLC in their own words said, ‘ measures were taken to ensure she had no access to sensitive information.’
So there you have it. A sordid little tale that stinks to high heaven. The Barons, Tubby Baron & Taller Baron will have to think on their feet here. The OPLC’s Corporate Director, Dionne Knight was not only in a relationship with the Bidding Director of West Ham, but she was also employed by West Ham on a consultative basis.
I am no expert, but I would imagine that the sourcing of this information was absolutely in the public interest. Proof of this if you ever needed it – was that it was hushed up.
This, if true, goes a long way in explaining why Levy has been “wasting time’ on the appeals process. They are a grubby lot, the Spammers.
dirty spammers
Its great stuff isn’t! Apparently moves are afoot to change the Spammers badge from their twin nutrackers to the snaking route of the Thames. Doov Doov……
In next weeks episode, High Court judge found in the snug in the Brady Arms….
The question should be asked was the 20 grand bung money cleaned by the sale of Birmingham by Barron porn to Carston Young and How funny they both went down.
Just to carry on something from the last post. Any thoughts as to why all the press coverage today has been a cut and paste of the Wet Spam outrage statement?
Could it be that the national papers have all realised that they bought in to all the Wet Spam blather about ‘English’ heritage and evil Levy bulldozing children’s hospitals… And forgot to actually do some proper journalism in the process?
It all does seem remarkably quiet on the media front considering that someone has just found proof of dirty goings-on at the heart of our sparkly Olympic machine. If this was something to do with Russia or India the papers would be all over it like a rash. It didn’t even make the main news on the BBc site – just a side bar on ‘Sport’… Very curious… HH, if I were you I’d expect yet more visits late at night from Seb Coe asking you to quieten down like a good chap!!! :ninja:
just another leaf in the book i like to call “the media against tottenham hotspurs” sub title hard done by yids
Bang on Nick!
