We asked for your views on Daniel Levy stepping down as Tottenham executive chairman.

Here are some more of your comments:

Richard: As a long time season ticket holder, I feel that it's a sad day, and maybe one we will come to regret. Levy has built a stable and sustainable club, which in future will be able to compete with any club in the world. However, some of our younger fans don't care about the future - they want success now, at any cost, even if it means bankrupting the club. That's today's world I'm afraid. But being Tottenham born and bred, I wish to thank him for everything that he has done for the area. Mr Levy, you will always be a local legend.

Niel: Levy came in and recognised that if Tottenham are to compete with the 'big' money clubs Tottenham needed to modernise to remain sustainable and competitive. If you don't get big money sponsors/investors, you need to diversify your income streams. This is what Levy has managed to do. This brings in an income which, once stabilised, can be reinvested in the team. In other words he recognised that Tottenham needed to get the business right before you get the team right.

Mark: We owe Daniel Levy a vote of thanks. He said that we would have a world class ground and training facilities and he delivered. He has turned us into a team that expects to challenge for major honours. He has been brilliant in the transfer market, buying promising young players, who, should they decide to leave, we make money on. He has increased the club's profile so much that world class players want to play for us. Also, on transfers, he wouldn't let us be bullied by anyone. A true Spurs fan, thank you for all you have done for us.
