It cannot be disputed that Spurs are in a far stronger financial and infrastructural state thanks to Levy.
Forbes values Tottenham at $3.3bn (£2.25bn) - ranking them inside the top 10 most valuable clubs on the planet.
The stadium is the envy of the world, while the training ground is excellent - so much so that England use the facility when they are in town.
From that perspective, Levy's reign has been a resounding success.
Of course, football success, certainly for supporters, isn't measured on those parameters and the trophy haul under Levy's watch left plenty to be desired.
Two in nearly 25 years is a poor outcome for a club of Spurs' stature.
Levy's reputation for a reluctance to spend big in the transfer market is, for many, at the root of the club's on-pitch failures over the years. It is hard to absolve Levy of any blame.
Up until recently, his reluctance to meet Crystal Palace's conditions for Eberechi Eze saw Spurs lose out on the England international to Arsenal.
Of course, we don't know how much influence de facto owner Joe Lewis had on the apparent hesitancy to spend heavily on transfer fees. But to stay at the top, you have to push the boundaries of spending - Spurs, under Levy, didn't do that.
Will that change now with Levy gone and Lewis' involvement at Tottenham minimal? Well, the younger generation of the Lewis family, who will take the reins from Joe - the patriarch - are making all the right noises.
They say their priority is sporting success. Those are encouraging soundbites and if those promises are delivered then Tottenham could well compete for the top prizes.
As ever with these things, though, the proof will be in the pudding.
