Letter, 9 June 2000, from Sport England
to the Football Association
WEMBLEY £20 MILLION PAYMENT
As you will be aware I have written on several
occasions in relation to the payment by WNSL/FA of £20 million
to Sport England. I am afraid, to date, we have received no indication
from you about the payment of the sum despite the agreement between
the FA and the Secretary of State earlier in the year.
As you will be aware the funding package for
the redevelopment of Wembley should be concluded shortly and I
believe it is essential to resolve the matter of the £20
million payment as a matter of some urgency. Clearly Chase Manhattan
will also need to have this matter resolved if the payment is,
in whole or in part, to be financed through the overall finance
package.
I am anxious to resolve this matter immediately
and as such I have asked my PA (Anne Browne) to set up a meeting
with you as soon as possible. For obvious reasons I have copied
by letter to the Secretary of State.
