Tottenham believed they had grounds for a judicial review of the Olympic Park Legacy Company’s decision to back West Ham’s bid against its own, claiming that a £40 million ($62m) loan from Newham Council gave West Ham an unfair economic advantage. However, if Tottenham accepts the offer on the table, it will give improve London’s chances to host the 2017 International Association of Athletics Federations World Championships, as West Ham are willing to keep a running track at the venue.

A spokesperson for London Mayor Boris Johnson said: “We have been working to help deliver the Northumberland Park Project for many months and all avenues have now been explored. It is vital that we get clarity from Tottenham Hotspur as soon as possible.”
