Tottenham Hotspur may be leaning on Daniel Levy despite his departure as executive chairman.
The 64-year-old held that role for nearly 25 years and totally changed the N17 club.
There were plenty of complaints aimed towards him as just two trophies in that time became untenable for many.
His departure came as a surprise last summer as the Lewis Family felt it was the right time for change.
That went down well with fans at the time, but was quickly forgotten after a dreadful campaign in the Premier League.
It could actually turn out that Levy is still working behind-the-scenes for Tottenham as his links provide something that no one else can.
What could Daniel Levy still do for Tottenham?
The frustration towards the executive chairman came due to the lack of sporting success.
That doesn't paint the whole picture as he worked to make Spurs into one of the richest and best-run sides in all of world football.
The move to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is just proof of that.
The Lewis family still moved him on and looked to take personal control of the goings on in North London.
Despite that, Lilywhite Rose account owner John Wenham believes Levy is still working to support them.
Speaking exclusively to Tottenham News, Levy said: "The Lewis Group want to increase their ownership of the club because it makes sense for them. Daniel Levy isn't as out of Tottenham as many people think.
"I know he's the one who still has those relationships with Haringey Council and lots of development firms in the area. People see football as being very cut and dry, but he's still very much involved.
"I'm sure the club still lean on him for advice. The guy is entrenched in the local area's redevelopment plans and has plenty money tied up in local businesses in North London."
That comes after his share's in ENIC dropped to 25 per cent, meaning his hold at the top of Tottenham started to slip.
It appears that the North Londoners' still need help with local matters.

Levy is famed for the redevelopment of White Hart Lane to become arguably the best stadium in the world.
It's multi-use factor makes it a money-maker as NFL and concerts rake in massive amounts of additional revenue every year.
That now massively contrasts to the local area as the billion pound arena's footprint sits in one London's most economically disadvantaged boroughs.
The largest party in Haringey, the Greens, believe Spurs should give up 0.1 per cent of turnover to reinvest into the local area.
That is one thing, but the idea that Tottenham had been able to default on planning obligations under Labour council has also raised eyebrows.
The N17 club have denied those allegations and remain stern on the fact that they have invested plenty into the stadium and its surrounding area.
This is all quite messy and is the kind of noise the Lilywhites don't need.
Should Levy still be playing a role, it seems as if these matters would have him involved.
Having existing relationships within the council for this sort of situation could be worth keeping him around for.
