I am more inclined to say that she has a chocolate room which I am a very big fan of. I do like my chocolate.

No more informative than all the twitter rumours tbh. I might be really stupid but if they project has cost £1bn to date where has the other money come from considering our loan is only £350m ? Tbh we should have stayed at Wembley for 2 seasons, nobody would have said a thing. If there’s any truth in these rumours we should just announce Wembley for the season ASAP. It kills all these over dramatic stories dead and we can just concentrate on football.
Exactly my point of view. Whilst published financial accounts are always old data by the time they come out, Tottenham would have to borrow from big city institutions and any loan releases would be reported widely as they were when we originally borrowed the money and then refinanced it a while back. If we had suddenly gone to the city for another £500m or more I’m pretty confident we would have heard about it.

We’d have gotten more funding from the bank as well as kicked in more ourselves. It doesn’t do the banks any good to let a construction project (especially one as specific as this) fall incomplete. It’s not like they can call this project in default and sell it to someone else. Who else is going to buy this thing? Not like there’s a huge market out there for a 3/4 finished stadium!

I put up with it. Too far from the pitch, lacking noise & atmosphere for the most part, lacking focus and red! What’s not to like?
Luckily our players have got used to playing there.

Our England players have to play in red sometimes sure it doesn't worry them.

They’d play in brown with orange, pink and purple spots if needed. Bit like our 3rd kit I suppose
Doesn’t mean I like it. I want to go home, especially after enhanced expectations. I’ll put up with it though if for the greater good*As for the other, we’ll a 0-0 in that match with 3 sent off for each side for a mass brawl and major injuries coupled with a good win at OT for Spurs will see us sailing off into the distance. One can only dream.
*Caveat - I’ll need to experience the new place first. I’m sure it will be good. Fingers crossed.

Sunday Supplement journos actually talking well saying yes it was embarrassing and the fans should have been told by the Club first etc but the broader picture is we’re building a world class stadium in an area of London that desperately needed the investment and we should be applauded for that in the long run.

I’m sure someone else who deals with theses sort of building contracts has said that, penalty clauses are infact illegal now days and instead we put in incentive clauses. One would have obviously been for the stadium to be finished on time which Mace clearly won’t be receiving.

In retrospect the timescale for this immense project was exceptionally tight. So tight, and with so many people pinning their hopes on it in ways people don’t usually with these massive construction jobs, that maybe it should only ever have been regarded as a target rather than a commitment.
If it’s ready for the first proper game in January, it will still have been a staggering achievement to demolish one ground and build another on the same site in 1 1/2 seasons.
As is often the case, the real problem is in creating expectations, so that a six month delay ends up feeling like a catastrophe whereas, taken as a whole, opening the new 62,000 stadium around a season and a half after the Finale at White Hart Lane will be quite a miraculous feat.
I just wish the club’s PR, with all the important implications of public and customer relations, was up to scratch.

Papers keep giving this Billion figure , not a financial genius but this was the last statement on finances I can find https://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/news-archive-1/club-announcement-new-stadium-scheme-financing/
Mr Levy must be confident of our financial position giving lucrative contracts to Poch , Harry & Co. but recent stadium setback could have financial implications.
