Tottenham Hotspur fans are still processing the shocking news that Daniel Levy has stepped down as chairman, and now former Southampton CEO Martin Semmens has given people an idea of what might happen next.
Levy’s decision to leave Tottenham at the start of this season has surprised football fans and those involved in the game after his 25-year stint at the club.
There have been mixed feelings in the aftermath, with some people rejoicing in the news and being excited about the future, while others have defended what Levy achieved.
Former Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp defended Levy, making it clear that he was not always responsible for the decisions.
However, moving forward, Levy will not have a say in Tottenham’s choices, and that could end up being a positive situation for the club.
Martin Semmens reveals there ‘will be some change in investment’ at Tottenham
One of the biggest criticisms of Levy’s tenure at Tottenham was that he never fully committed to investing in the squad at the same level as the other top teams in the Premier League.
While Levy spent some big money at times, Tottenham never did it to the same level as teams like Chelsea or Manchester City. However, as Semmens teased on talkSport, that might be able to change.
“I wasn’t too surprised if I’m honest. I don’t know too much about it, but Vinai [Venkatesham] going there is a sign that things might be changing.
“I hear there will be some change in investment, which I think will be great for the Spurs fans that I’ve got because I think the club will go from strength to strength when that happens, that’s my feeling.”
How much investment will take place remains to be seen, but Tottenham’s upcoming transfer activity in January and at the end of this season will certainly receive some attention.
Tottenham fans will hope that spending money on top players from around the world will allow them to close the gap on their rivals in the Premier League, but it will remain to be seen if that happens.
Thomas Frank might get cash to splash in the transfer window
Thomas Frank was the final manager hired by Levy, with the former Brentford boss moving to the club during the summer.
While he was given money to spend in a bid to strengthen the team for this season, if what Semmens is saying is true, then he could end up with a lot more financial investment in the squad.
It’s unclear whether that will happen or not, but that is something that Tottenham fans would certainly celebrate, and would provide Spurs with the best chance of success moving forward.
The Lewis Family want a fresh approach at Tottenham, and one that includes more financial investment could tick that box.
Tottenham have had a good start to the current Premier League campaign with two wins out of three leaving the club in fourth place.
