3. The allure of the new stadium

Tottenham fans aren’t the only people excited about the prospect of a new stadium at White Hart Lane. You can bet that every member of the club is very intrigued by the prospect of having a new home.

There’s a certain historical cache that goes along with being the Spurs manager to open an era in a new stadium. It’s just not something many managers can claim. It’s not enough reason to snub Real Madrid on its own, but it is powerful enough to factor into Pochettino’s decision.

It’s more than that though. The closer Tottenham get to competing in their new grounds, the more excitement will grow around the club. That palpable energy will make it easier to acquire new players and motivate the current squad. It’s a real opportunity to create something special.

Moving out of the hallowed grounds of White Hart Lane will hurt every Spurs fan, but the chance to play in a brand new stadium could help the club hold on to Pochettino.
