    2nd part of the look into Spurs new stadium, funding and viability.
    More interesting points, one of which is the possibility of Spurs becoming the home to an nfl franchise, or even an nfl franchise buying out ENIC so nfl franchise and Spurs become one. London hotspurs or some such. Lots of profit for ENIC if that is in the wind.
    Also talks about levy and how he is a fan of the club, and with his son taking a larger role in the running of the club, posits how it could be a long term stewardship, passed from one family member to another, though looking at some of the American based familiar ownerships, not sure if that is such a great idea.

    Good win yesterday, worried about verts injury though, injury added to insult, damaging your knee whilst being elbowed in the face, that back three axis of Dier, verts and Toby, has been the foundation of our new found defensive stability, someone wrote up that because verts and Toby have both played full back means they are comfortable patrolling wider areas, which allows Dier to drop back between them in a flat three. Think losing Toby would be a bigger miss, but it ushers in new questions who replaces verts? Wimmer? Does Dier drop in and then use Bentaleb in his defensive mid position? Would bentaleb be able to fulfil that spare central defender/defensive midfielder role. He's still prone to a mistake or two a game, think that's one of the reasons he's been on the fringes since he's come back from injury... Doubt carroll's robust enough for the role either..

  • I had a chat with my neighbour the other day who is on the Spurs fans committee. Apparently the club have cancelled all the affordable housing on the new stadium site citing lack of finances. So it will only be luxury housing. In Haringey. Good one.

  • was reading about it, it's something to do with the viability of the project, for them to be financially able to include social housing they have to be making a certain percentage of profit, if they don't hit that, the number of social houses goes down, in this case to nothing...
