Daniel Levy and the Tottenham hierarchy were among the owners of seven cars broken into at a supermarket as they became casualties of the club’s stadium delays, according to the Mirror.
The newspaper claim the senior Spurs officials, including chairman Levy, were the victims of attackers “caught on CCTV using a device to pop open the boot”.
The Mirror report they had been forced to park at a Sainsbury’s next to the new White Hart Lane because the stadium car park is not yet ready.
OPINION
This is the latest in a series of stadium-related setbacks and embarrassments for the Spurs top brass. They have been forced to remain at Wembley at least until the start of next year because the new ground has not yet passed the necessary safety checks. Test events must first take place before the all-clear can be given, which means that the club remained marooned at the home of English football rather than the home of Tottenham. In truth, the team have coped very well and churned out some notable victories at Wembley, including against Chelsea and Inter Milan in the last week. But the pitch is ropey, bordering on awful, and has drawn condemnation from neutrals and opponents. Fans are also voting with their feet and the novelty factor of heading to the other side of north London has fast worn off. Spurs have the option to remain at Wembley for the remainder of the campaign but that is an outcome that no-one wants, least of all Levy and the board.
