Levy leading Spurs into new era with new stadium

Spurs, 6/1 with Coral to finish in the Premier League top four next season, have been on the outside looking in for a long time.

At least, that’s how chairman Daniel Levy has made it appear. Feared and revered, Levy has steadily been growing and transitioning through various phases of progression. The chairman equivalent of Jose Mourinho, Levy is the ultimate Chess-master; forever plotting, striking when holding advantage.

While the recent unveiling of plans for Tottenham’s mega stadium may have been news to most, for Levy it was years in the planning. Most people dream, the Spurs chairman sets goals and now it’s onto the next.

It is hoped that the stadium will eclipse rivals and neighbours Arsenal and true to Levy’s astute commercial savvy, he has also been able to offset most of the costs, by agreeing a blockbuster deal with the NFL to host American Football matches.

New stadium photos look great! Looking forward to get back for pre-season #COYS'#thatissomethingelse #23 pic.twitter.com/zFDgS1bYU6

Currently hamstrung by a lack of Champions League football, this is undoubtedly the next mission. With stricter Financial Fair Play regulations, there could well be a Premier League power shift, where clubs with rich owners see their plans backfire.
