Tottenham Hotspur’s move into their new stadium has been delayed.

Daniel Levy looks on during the Premier League match between West Bromwich Albion and Tottenham Hotspur at The Hawthorns on October 15, 2016 in West Bromwich, England.

Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy has been left ‘furious’ by delays to the club’s new stadium, The Sun report.

Spurs confirmed yesterday that their move into the new ground has been delayed due to safety concerns.

The club statement included a message from chairman Daniel Levy pleading for patience among supporters.

Yet behind the scenes, Levy has cut a very different figure.

The Sun report the Tottenham chairman has been anxious and angry over delays to the project, describing him as ‘livid’.

The report states: “Every morning he monitors progress from high up in his office at Lilywhite House, where the club’s admin is housed.

“Levy puts in furious phone calls and thrashes away at his laptop, sending irate emails about the lack of progress.”

With hundreds of millions invested in the project, you cannot blame Levy for being anxious.

The delays mean Tottenham must answer to the Premier League, UEFA, and the NFL, and most importantly, their thousands of fans.

The tight deadlines always looked tough to meet, and it seems Spurs have been overly ambitious.
