Levy not likely to be at Tottenham if takeover takes place

Tottenham Hotspur chief Daniel Levy has been the talk of the town for the last several months, albeit for all the wrong reasons. His leadership has been heavily criticised by the fans as well as the media, with several of the Spurs faithful demanding that he steps down soon.

With news that a Qatari investment could ensue into Tottenham Hotspur imminently, Levy’s position has become precarious. Tottenham Hotspur News has reported that the 63-year-old is affected by the criticism coming his way and though stepping down from his post might not have crossed his mind yet, that may no longer be in his control.

Levy may be offered a contract at Tottenham if there is a new investment but Bryan King believes he should not be at the club for much longer. He was quoted saying the following.

“I would imagine initially it would be a good plan to keep Levy on. He has been associated with the football club for a long time and while the club haven’t been very successful on the pitch, off the field things have been run reasonably well. Therefore, it is that commercial growth and success which I imagine is interesting to the Qataris. However, I can’t see Levy remaining with the club long-term if a takeover does go through. I would think that whoever comes in would want to bring somebody of their own in to run things so that they’re not being questioned by Levy when decisions are being made about the football club.”

Daniel Levy is arguably the worst leader of a club across the Premier League if one considers just how much cash Tottenham have to spend on players, thanks in part to how well looked after the club’s finances have been, particularly with their new stadium yielding in a lot of money.

At the end of the road, however, Spurs require a president who has a better knowhow of football as compared to Levy, who seems too business minded to be in charge of a football club. Nearly two decades without a piece of silverware certainly do not paint a good picture, especially when one looks at the kind of managers and players the club has had recently.

In more ways than one, Levy’s exit would be best for Tottenham and it will be interesting to see who his successor is, as well as what ideas he comes up with to lead them back to their glory days.
