Daniel Levy’s departure from Tottenham is continuing to have lasting implications in its aftermath.
The Lilywhites’ former executive chairman recently called time on his involvement with the club after 25 years at the helm in N17, in a decision which will mark the end of an era.
Levy oversaw huge development at Tottenham over the years, but his stubbornness in negotiations often held them back at times when it came to the footballing side of the club.
With the 63-year-old now out of the picture, Thomas Frank could be about to be very excited over what is to come.
This article includes exclusive comments from Lilywhite Rose owner John Wenham.

Daniel Levy exit to bring change for Spurs with £100m January budget
The fallout from Levy’s departure at Tottenham has continued for well over a week now, as there has been uncertainty about a potential takeover.
ENIC remain adamant that the club is not for sale, and they are even prepared to throw another £100million into the ring in order to increase its competitiveness, according to The Telegraph.
That could drastically improve Spurs’ ability to strengthen their squad in the January window, as they try and compete on both the domestic and European fronts.
Lilywhite Rose owner John Wenham – speaking exclusively to Tottenham News – believes that Levy’s exit should bring about a change of direction for Spurs, but also feels that the £100m investment is not that significant.
“In any world, having the same voice for 20-25 years, you need organisation, you need change, you need a new direction,” Wenham said.
“And I’m hopeful that will now come. We’re being told that money has already been made available for the January transfer window to the tune of £100m.
“That doesn’t actually get you very much in this age. It’d have to be spent wisely, as always, but it’s promising nonetheless.”
Tottenham need to add more depth in January
Frank and Tottenham have already outlined a couple of their targets for the winter window, and it feels inevitable that they will need to add more depth if they are to continue to make up ground on the top clubs.
At the moment, the Lilywhites’ starting XI looks very strong, but it will only take a few injuries for them to be down to the fringe players within the group, which are largely the same as the ones who failed under Ange Postecoglou.
£100m may not be a club-changing amount of money to spend, but if it can be used resourcefully to add another two or three top-quality players, then it will help to further establish Frank’s men as a team who can genuinely compete for trophies.
