The club's hierarchy, fresh from revamping the coaching staff, are leaning toward expanding the capacity of their current home to around 52,000 and have enlisted the help of Tony Winterbottom, who used to work with the London Development Authority.
Rebuilding White Hart Lane would be the preferred option for the club and it's fans, with alternatives including building a new ground just north of the current site or in Enfield, which many feel to be too far away..
The proposed redevelopment would cost a reported £300m of which £150m would be borrowed. Whilst work is completed on expanding the stadium the team would have to play home matches at a different location for at least two seasons, prompting debates surrounding ground-sharing to surface once again.
Several seasons ago Daniel Levy and the Tottenham board of directors contacted the Football Association about becoming permanent tenants of the new Wembley but were met with little encouragement. BBC's Inside Sport revealed on Monday night that Tottenham representatives had once again enquired about the possibility of playing at the national stadium whilst the redevelopment takes place but the FA are thought to want to demand a high price for it's use.
Another possibility that has been mooted is a ground-share with West Ham, with a similar arrangement with Arsenal being dismissed due to the fierce rivalry between the two clubs. That said, there is no love loss between West Ham and Spurs fans either so there may well be complications if Tottenham are to temporarily relocate to Upton Park. Whilst the club runs the rule over the available options they have also asked for the help of prominent architect Ken Shuttleworth, who is the right-hand man of Norman Foster.
I'm sure many fans of the club will agree that, due to the enclosed nature of White Hart Lane, the stadium has a unique and vibrant atmosphere during home games, and most would favour expanding it's capacity over moving location. That said it is clear that the current 36,310 is well under the amount expected of a team whose, very publicly, stated ambitions are to match the top four clubs in the country.
