London stadiumWhat’s the solution?
Agree but it's far too easy for the fuck up of a club that Levy runs.
Genuinely interested to learn why you believe Spurs to be a "fuck up of a club". Sure, we might not have won any trophies in a long time and we suffer our fair share of disappointments. And, yes, Levy is in the process of overseeing a huge construction project that will overrun by a couple of months (par for the course on such projects, by the way). But, even with your Man City hat on, can you not grudgingly concede that Spurs is one of the better run clubs anywhere? It might not operate the same model as your club's but, in almost every respect - first team; academy; stadium; training ground; finances - I'd have thought that Spurs is near the top of the curve.
To my mind, a fuck up of a club would be the likes of Leeds, Sunderland, Aston Villa, Newcastle, West Ham or....dare I say it......Man City prior to ADUG's intervention. All of them big clubs that, for whatever reason, massively and perennially underperform; get themselves into financial difficulty; get relegated; or move to a soulless athletics stadium with seats miles from the pitch and are then surprised when the fans loathe it!
Times says it's gonna be on the Monday at wembley
I wouldn't yet totally rule out the possibility of the game being played on the Saturday at the new stadium. The Wembley option for the following Monday might well, at this stage, only be provisional.
What's the chances of City agreeing to that date but making sure spurs agree to refund those who have already booked trains?
Non-existent, I would say.

Playing on a turnip patch? Mad.
I bet City fans who have bought non-refundable tickets and accommodation get screwed over.

You keep saying the over run timetable is par for the course. Fair enough, building developments often over run. So knowing that, what did levy do to ensure fixtures could be played at a suitable stadium at a suitable date.

I get it's highly inconvenient for this going and there must be full reimbursement of all costs but these things happen. Could easily happen to anybody and as a club we should be supportive.
The only caveat is that the pitch is playable. If it's not and let's face it, on this occasion its entirely foreseeable that it might not be...then there should be scope for city to postpone without repercussions for the club. In my opinion.
Think it's a cheap shot to criticise spurs for the stadium delay. Sorting a venue yes. Stadium delay no.
