What was once esteemed as an impossible task by the Arsenal faithful was made possible by Arsene Wenger at a time when professionalism was starting to flow in Premier League. When Wenger first arrived at Arsenal, the board was having plans to expand the Highbury but his quick success made the club change their ideas and English football forever. Wenger said in a post-interview that when the stadium was built, the banks agreed on one condition that Wenger would sign for a five-year contract. They wanted technical consistency so that the club could pay them back.

Pochettino is currently living the dream as Spurs unveiled their new stadium with a 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace. The joy of a new stadium for Tottenham might be amazing but Pochettino understands how much load he had to take. In an era where Manchester City, Manchester United and Liverpool have upped their quality with a decent amount of money, Tottenham had to be satisfied with their home-grown quality for years as their transfer funds were reduced. With the new stadium guaranteeing more revenue from next season, Pochettino can be hopeful that at last, he can get the backing from the club in the transfer market that he deserves.
