Such is the mood at Spurs these days, that the Tottenham Hotspur stadium has become a stick with which to beat the club’s owners. The latest update issued by the club might ordinarily be a moment for modest congratulations, but such fan comment was very thin on the ground as ENIC announced yet another industry award for the arena.
It feels like a long time ago now, when virtually every architectural update was greeted with rapturous praise by fans basking in the wonder of the build. Regrettably, the mood of the THFC fanbase (who opt to express an opinion on social media) has since considerably soured. As one supporter put it… “bit [sic] like your horse being given ‘best turned out’ [but] they never win”
Opinion
Whether ENIC care to acknowledge it or not, there’s now a nasty undercurrent amongst supporters who have tired of the flannel and are looking for substance, which in professional sport means trophies. After all, the club is charging premium prices, whereby one would expect a premium product in return.
Ultimately the market always decides values – and right now – Daniel Levy needs to the mood music of the club’s support to improve.
