Daniel Levy has dominated the news after leaving his role as Tottenham executive chairman.
While his departure came as a shock to some, Levy’s exit from Spurs could have been in the pipeline since Christmas.
Now that the 63-year-old has left his post, Jamie O’Hara believes that Tottenham can win more trophies.
Meanwhile, Ally McCoist has been quick to give credit to the Lilywhites despite talk of a dictatorship in North London.
Ally McCoist makes bold Tottenham claim to Jeff Stelling
Levy has often been criticised by Tottenham supporters for failing to build on the success created in North London.
MORE SPURS STORIES
There were times when the Lilywhites were challenging for the Champions League and Premier League titles, but expectations have dampened in recent times.
Many blamed a lack of investment for Spurs not fulfilling their potential, with Levy a common target for supporters.
This summer, Tottenham missed out on several key targets, including Eberechi Eze and Morgan Gibbs-White, with some saying that they simply do not know how to spend big money.
On talkSPORT on Monday morning, Stelling and McCoist were discussing Levy’s tenure, pointing out that things were perhaps not what they seemed from the outside looking in.
“It appeared from the outside something of a dictatorship, and I’m not saying that’s necessarily a bad thing,” said Stelling on 8 September.
“I would be very surprised, though, Jeff, if Levy wasn’t under instructions by the owners to effectively go to whatever level of price and things like that on transfers because he did have somebody to answer to,” McCoist replied.
“The first thing that you’ve got to say, as a financial institution and as a business, it’s probably one of the best-run clubs in the country, if not the best.”
Spurs supporters should reserve judgement on Daniel Levy
While there are credible points on both sides of the argument, it is difficult to judge Levy now.
Yes, there is a valid belief that he did not act accordingly when the Lilywhites were battling for major honours.
Indeed, the business carried out by Liverpool this summer highlights what must be done to increase their standing in European football.
However, Levy’s main aim was the make the North London outfit a sustainable club and he has done that.
Of course, if Spurs go on to be successful and win major honours, then questions must be asked of the 63-year-old.
However, if things take a turn in the opposite direction, then people will look back at Levy’s tenure more fondly.
The next five years will be a telling period and one that could define the memory of Levy.
