Daniel Levy ended his 25-year stay at Tottenham after announcing his shock departure from the North London club
The summer has ended with a bang for Tottenham fans as the club announced the departure of Daniel Levy out of nowhere. The Spurs chairman has always been in the limelight during his 25-year stint at N17. And his stay at the North London club has finally come to an end, giving fans some sort of relief after years of protests held against him.
Not many people expected Levy to call it quits at N17 once the season commenced, but that just shows the unpredictable nature of football. The Spurs chairman had consistently hinted all summer that he was keen to get the club back on top in the near future, and that he wanted to be the frontman as they looked to build on the Europa League success this season.
However, that will not happen now after the Tottenham hierarchy decided it was time for a change at club-level. Many fans are reserving their judgement on Daniel Levy’s time at N17 as they look to see how the North London club operates now that he is gone. But it is fair to suggest that Levy’s departure means that the Lilywhites are not playing around anymore and are serious to get back on top in the footballing pyramid.
Tottenham stakeholder Joe Lewis was the driving force behind Daniel Levy’s exit
Well, as per the BBC, Tottenham’s majority stakeholder Joe Lewis played a key part in spearheading Daniel Levy’s exit from N17. Levy was too focused on the business side of things, which subsequently led to the Lilywhites falling short of the mark on the pitch. And the disastrous domestic campaign last season was the final nail in the coffin for the Spurs chairman at Hotspur Way.
Now, Sky Sports journalist Rob Harris has pointed out the Lewis family’s ‘fresh approach’ as the club prepares for a new era. As per Harris (via X),
“Generations of the Lewis family support this special football club and they want what the fans want – more wins more often. This is why you have seen recent changes, new leadership and a fresh approach.”
The journalist added,
“In Vinai (Venkatesham), Thomas (Frank) and Peter Charrington, they believe they are backing the right team to deliver on this. This is a new era.”
Rob Harris has indicated that Joe Lewis and his family are massive Tottenham fans, and they want to shift the focus back on the most important thing in football, winning major trophies. That is exactly why Daniel Levy has been relieved of his duties at N17, as they look to seek a fresh approach going forward. The Lewis family believe Vinai Venkatesham, Thomas Frank, and Peter Charrington are the right people to lead the club into a ‘new era’ as they prepare to build on the Europa League success.
Well, it remains to be seen what the future hold for the North London club. Daniel Levy’s departure might just mean that a new ownership model might be on its way for Spurs. The air around N17 is full of excitement and tension as the Lilywhites prepare to kickstart a new era… this time without Daniel Levy.
