Not that I think Moshiri cant be trusted(just kidding), but I would suggest a one-off comment is not much compared to official statements and records. The article says in response to that:
"Club sources claim that the figure Moshiri quoted is inclusive of every facet of the stadium, from design and planning to construction and even including the potential for further ancillary developments related to the stadium...Club sources also state the the cost of construction has not changed and that the contract signed last year with construction firm Laing O'Rourke, who have been tasked with the build, has not altered and the cost certainty over the project remains as it did."
That seems to clearly say the LOR cost stayed at 505m. The meeting minutes says "Colin confirmed that the funding is there to complete the ground and that there was less than £100m left to fund". He's just saying what portion of the contract is left to fund. We certainly didnt pay them 505m when we signed the contract.
