Tottenham's significant summer of change looks to have culminated with Daniel Levy departing as chairman. His exit was confirmed in a bombshell statement on Thursday evening with major uncertainty surrounding what happens next.
In short, it looks as though it will be business as usual for the time being but understandably, much of the focus has been on matters upstairs with the September international break ongoing.
The Lilywhites have gone into that two-week pause following a disappointing defeat to Bournemouth but with new marquee signing Xavi Simons unveiled ahead of the game. Spurs' ambitions have been clear this summer with a view to making the club more competitive an important aim.
After winning the Europa League last season, this could be just be the start with football.london taking a look at the latest takeover and investment updates.
Tottenham club statement
In the final section of their announcement regarding Levy's exit, Spurs made it clear the decision was all part of the "Club’s ambition to ensure that it is set up to deliver long-term sporting success."
Whether or not that will transpire remains to be seen but the Telegraph have noted that Joe Lewis' children, Charlie and Vivienne, see this is a start of a new era at the club.
Levy has been criticised for how he has operated in transfer windows but it is fair to say that when reflecting on his exit, he has transformed Tottenham in a multi-billion pound entity even if that was what he saw before a football club.
Investment claims
Spurs have sought outside investment into the club over the last few years with Levy first making that clear publicly a few years ago.
"To capitalise on our long-term potential, to continue to invest in the teams and undertake future capital projects, the club requires a significant increase in its equity base," Levy was quoted saying. "The board and its advisors, Rothschild and Co, are in discussions with prospective investors."
However, Levy also claimed that no deals would be done without club personnel's approval, suggesting this won't be a rushed process. "Any recommended investment proposal would require the support of the club's shareholders," he clarified.
Former Newcastle United shareholder Amanda Staveley has been linked as a potential investor but as things stand, it does not appear as though external investment has yet arrived.
ENIC and Lewis family sale stance
A cash injection believed to be from ENIC, Tottenham's majority owners, could well have happened in recent months, as was claimed by football.london, with Spurs' transfer market activity suggesting as such.
Big fees were prepared to be committed to Eberechi Eze, Nico Paz, Savinho and Morgan Gibbs-White but Tottenham failed to sign any of those names. Instead, over £100million was spent on Mohammed Kudus and Xavi Simons.
