Spurs new stadium will not be reportedly ready until February.
Andy Gray has delivered a worrying verdict on whether Tottenham Hotspur will be able to fill their brand new state-of-the-art stadium – and Spurs fans agree with his comments.
Spurs’ new stadium, which has already cost an enormous £637million, will not be ready for use until February according to reports, despite originally being planned for the end of 2018.
Gray’s theory, which he told BeIN Sports, is that Spurs must take a chance and spend big, mirroring the likes of Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea – or face the consequences.
Indeed, Gray suggested that if they fail to start spending, then they may fail to fill the 62,000 capacity stadium when it comes to finally using it: “The only way they’re going to fill that stadium, is if you give the fans the team to fill it.”
Spurs have begun the season in excellent fashion, winning seven of their 10 league encounters and sitting in fifth – five points behind leaders Manchester City. But their form in Europe has been almost the opposite, with one point from nine.
They failed to make any signings in the summer, with only a £29million net spend since Mauricio Pochettino was appointed manager of the north London Club. Some Spurs fans agree with Gray, that a decision has to be made soon.
