offer. although yesterday, the player also said he wanted Tottenham
to double his salary. Not sure what he's on at the moment, but
there may be some negotiation to go through before a move is on.
The Sun run an unusual story claiming that Tottenham's move for

Spurs released the plans for their intended new stadium as part of
the Northumberland Park Development today. The ground will be
moved approximately metres to the North, with three sides of the
ground being built while the current stadium is in place and then
the existing North stand will be demolished, while the South stand
of the new stadium will be built thus allowing the club to remain at
White Hart Lane while construction takes place. The new
development will feature a large supermarket on the North end
of the ground facing Northumberland Park and Paxton Road will
disappear, with all the businesses THFC have bought out being
relocated with the assistance of Haringey Council. Some
residential development will take place to the South of the new
stadium making 500 new units of accommodation available, while there
will also be a club museum in the area behind where the existing
Superstore is situated in Park Lane along with new offices for the
Tottenham Hotspur Foundation.
The design of the stadium is to be state-of-the-art and provide
"maximum spectator experience" with clear sight lines from all seats
and one of the companies engaged in the project designed the Coimbra
stadium in Portugal (click
here for image and
here too), which was built for the 2004 European Championships
and the City of Manchester Stadium. For the area around the
ground, the company who have been involved in the 55 Baker Street
development in London and the St. Paul's Information Centre in the
City of London, as well as the Jubilee Campus at the University of
Nottingham. An architect working on the O2 Arena in
Greenwich and the 2012 Olympic Stadium has been hired to deal with
the technical engineering, transport issues and sustainability,
while a company specialising in landscape design has been taken on
to deal with the public open areas which will make more space around
the new stadium. In addition improvements to the High Road
area will be made as part of the regeneration of the area.
The plans are up for consultation before a panning permission will
be lodged with Haringey Council

Daniel Levy has told the
News of the World that there was no way the club could keep
Dimitar Berbatov after he refused to play in two matches and
started to breed discontent among the squad about new manager
Juande Ramos. Levy conceded that players wield a vast
amount of power now and if they take against a manager, then they
can get him removed from post and following murmurings about the
Spanish Head Coach,
he felt that he had to act to restore faith
in the management regime at the club. Apparently, one of the
first things Harry Redknapp did on his appointment as manager
was to reinstate tomato ketchup on the Spurs Lodge dinner tables and
also spoke individually with each player, which is something that
the previous regime had not been doing.
Various papers today claim that Harry Redknapp is on a big
bonus (£4 million in the Sunday Mirror and £1 million in the NotW)
to keep Tottenham in the Premier League, while he will be on
