Former Tottenham boss Terry Venables says the club needs a new stadium if they're to compete at the top table. Venables wrote in the London Evening Standard: "There always seems to be something missing with Tottenham - the final ingredient that stops a club from being oh-so-close to actual winners.
"Ever since I co-owned the club, I've always suspected White Hart Lane itself was part of Spurs's problem and that the missing link is a new stadium.
"If they have any desire to move forward, to be ambitious and to truly establish themselves as a top team - here and worldwide - they absolutely can't do it stuck in a ground that only holds 36,000. This issue strikes to the very heart of the size and scale of the club's ambitions and what they want for the future.
"If the plan is to stagnate, to always be nearly there - but never quite - then by all means stay at White Hart Lane and just wallow in all the history and memories of the past glory years. Because those days will never come back in this century with such a relatively small ground.
"A stadium simply has to match the size of your ambition: it's the starting point to generate revenue, it puts cash in the bank and that brings in the players. It's maybe crude to admit it but it's money in the bank that tells the Premier League who you are - and where you want to be.
"Arsenal took the plunge, so did City, they abandoned the memories and decided the future was more important. Now look where they are."
