"There are a lot of posts in this forum about whether ENIC will sell up before the stadium is built so I thought I would pass on what I know. None of this comes first hand from a senior person at Spurs but the sources are good enough for me to believe it to be all true. None of it is breaking news.
Spurs are always for sale at the right price. There have been a couple of buyers who came close, one was the Russian bloke but ENIC turned him down for what imo were very correct reasons. More recently there was someone else who went on to buy a club outside the UK.
There are two overseas buyers in the shadows at the moment, one has been there for 2 years! From all I know about the stadium neither prospect is holding up or accelerating the stadium, they are having no effect on the timetable.
The issues with the stadium are:
- design, changing the architects was a blow to progress
- archway, Daniel may have to try and do a bad deal
- financing - some progress such as the recent itk on sponsorship and looking at a retail bond but Daniel will always want more public funding
On the plus side:
- I think we are getting close to inviting tenders for the build
- things with the Council and Boris are fairly good at present
- from many chats with Daniel, I am personally convinced he is very committed to building it.

"I think it was a big step backwards to get rid of KSS, I noticed they are now doing the new pool stadium which has overtaken ours so they haven't done badly out of it. I think KSS were undercut on fees by populous plus a few people around the project who had worked with populous before. "
"I haven't seen the latest, latest design but heard a slightly worrying view from someone who has. "
