Tottenham ‘will be very grateful’ to Daniel Levy after ‘surprise’ news out of nowhere

Daniel Levy shook the football world by ending his 24-year stint as Tottenham executive chairman.

While his departure last week was sudden, Levy perhaps sowed the seeds for his Spurs departure during his interview with Gary Neville.

During his tenure, Levy received intense criticism from Tottenham supporters for his supposed lack of investment in the playing squad.

However, now that we can look back at his reign, should the Lilywhites feel grateful for their former executive chairman?

This story includes exclusive comment from football finance expert Dr Daniel Plumley.

Daniel Levy’s exit from Tottenham was a surprise

Levy’s exit from Spurs could have been planned since Christmas, but if it was, then he did a good job of keeping it under wraps.

Now, football finance expert Dan Plumley – speaking exclusively to Tottenham News – has weighed in on his departure.

“I don’t think anyone was really expecting it. I think it came as a bit of a surprise,” he said.

“We know he’s talked about it in the past, but, until it happens, still, he seems like he’s always been there, doesn’t he?

“He’s synonymous with Spurs and the financial, kind of astuteness that he’s rubbed that club with, and how successful they’ve been financially.

“There are a lot of things that Spurs, I’m sure, financially will be very grateful for, with Daniel Levy, and it is a long tenure, and he has been a real focal point of that club.

“It was a bit of a surprise to see it break like it did. Everyone’s got to leave a job sometime, of course they have, but I think a fair few people were quite surprised by just the timing of it, and it almost came out of nowhere.”

What next for Spurs after Daniel Levy’s departure?

After the 63-year-old left his position, the talk naturally drifted to whether a takeover would follow.

ENIC holds the majority stake in the North London club, but they have no interest in selling at this point, making that very clear already.

Indeed, it is understood that their intentions lie with building further success on the pitch after delivering the Europa League trophy.

However, there are two sets of interested buyers, including former Newcastle United director Amanda Staveley’s PCP International and a consortium led by Roger Kennedy and Wing Fair-Ng.

While they have a deadline of 5 October to announce a firm intention, news of the club’s next steps should be coming soon.

Former Tottenham players praise Daniel Levy in behind-the-scenes conversation after shock exit

Tottenham are finally returning to action in the Premier League within days, but all of the talk has been about Daniel Levy.

Love him or loathe him, it is fair to say that the 63-year-old has left a lasting impact at the North London club.

Levy was praised for gifting Spurs Randal Kolo Muani before he left, with his positive relationship with Paris Saint-Germain coming to fruition.

Now, Alan Brazil has opened up about a conversation that he had with former Tottenham players about the former executive chairman’s shock departure.

Alan Brazil and ex-Tottenham players hail Daniel Levy

Some have suggested that Levy grew tired of the abuse he received at Spurs, which led to his departure this summer.

MORE SPURS STORIES

During his 24-year tenure in North London, the Premier League club has undergone significant changes, including regular European football and the construction of a state-of-the-art stadium.

However, the 63-year-old has often been criticised for his lack of investment in the playing squad, with protests held against his ownership.

Furthermore, Levy was condemned for not capitalising on Mauricio Pochettino’s success when the Lilywhites were challenging for the Premier League and Champions League.

Now, Brazil has shared details of a conversation he had with former Tottenham players about the departed chairman while hosting talkSPORT on 10 September.

“Just to clear up, no one knows what happened. The assumption is Daniel was pushed, but we don’t know, and he may have walked,” said Brazil.

“But I just think that he was in such a big part of his life, 25 years, that I don’t think that he’d do that. I think he loved that football club.

“And everyone agreed, we spoke to the ex-players, some great players, great players there, and they were basically saying whatever you think of Daniel on the football side of it, in terms of the club and the business, what a job he’s done, fantastic.”

Spurs supporters should reserve judgement on Daniel Levy

Given that he has only just left his position, it would be difficult to judge if Levy was a success at Tottenham.

While speaking to Gary Neville, the 63-year-old explained that his goal was to make the Lilywhites a sustainable football club, and it would be fair to say he has achieved that.

Although many will argue that it is on the pitch where he should be judged, and only two trophies were won during his reign.

If the North London outfit goes on to reap greater success over the next five or 10 years, then the finger will again be pointed at Levy.

However, if further success does not arrive at Hotspur Way, then people might just change their minds about him.

Tottenham are embroiled in speculation over their future, with many US and Qatari-backed consortiums interested in buying the club.

The removal of Daniel Levy as executive chairman has plunged Spurs into talks and questions regarding their ownership.

Joe Lewis, who was the majority owner of ENIC until 2022, has confirmed that Tottenham are not up for sale.

Tottenham are said to be worth £4billion due to the construction of their state-of-the-art stadium; however, as a result, they need new investments to recoup some of that money spent.

Tottenham agree £90m media rights deal

Bloomberg UK journalist David Hellier has reported on how the deal will aid Spurs in the near future.

Spurs have raised £90m through a receivables financing deal with Macquarie Group Ltd.

Tottenham agreed to give Macquarie income from future broadcasting rights for a lump sum of cash, with the Australian lender also receiving a fee and interest.

Macquarie have done this previously with other Premier League clubs, giving Nottingham Forest a £28m loan in 2023.

A recent club statement said: “The recent changes are all part of the club’s ambition to ensure that it is set up to deliver long-term sporting success.”

Significant spending in the transfer market has seen Spurs in desperate need of external investment, something which they have now achieved.

Amanda Staveley among parties interested in purchase of Tottenham

Spurs rejected two enquiries over buying the club, which prompted Lewis to say that Tottenham were not for sale.

A takeover code means that Staveley may not make another offer for six months, and after submitting a bid for Tottenham in 2024, her US-backed consortium, PCP International Finance, is incredibly serious about buying the club.

With the future of Tottenham up in the air, the £90m deal struck with the Macquarie Group will help ease pressure within the hierarchy, with the Lewis family clearly fighting back against the speculation.

Djed Spence came on to make his England debut during the Three Lions’ 5-0 World Cup qualifying win over Serbia on Tuesday.

History was made as Spence became the first Muslim to play for England.

Featuring for 21 minutes in Belgrade, Spence was assured every time he got on the ball as England made light work of what could have been a very tricky test.

Former Spurs teammate and England captain Harry Kane gave an emotional speech to praise Spence’s achievement, handing over his cap in the process.

Kane said: “I asked to do this because I saw this player three, four years ago at Tottenham, and he had to go through a lot, he had to keep his head up, he had to work hard, and now he’s an England player.

“I’m a little bit emotional because I know how much it takes to get here, and I saw what it was like; it was tough for you.

“Credit to you, your family, and everyone involved; you deserve this one.”

Kane was then met by a huge round of applause from the rest of the England squad.

Spence has not had an easy journey, with many challenges coming throughout his career.

Spence was criticised by Neil Warnock for his behaviour off the pitch during their time together at Middlesbrough.

Having performed excellently under Thomas Frank at the start of the season, Spence signed a new contract at Tottenham.

Tottenham legend Harry Kane continues to create history for England

Kane has broken records throughout his career, and at 32-years-old, he is still one of the most prolific goal scorers on the planet.

Kane scored the opener against Serbia, heading home Declan Rice’s out-swinging corner.

Having left Spurs in 2023, Kane finally won his first trophy of his career after winning the Bundesliga with Bayern Munich.

Kane has been linked with a Tottenham return over the past summer, and Spurs fans are dreaming of seeing the club legend return to N17.

Daniel Levy’s departure has sent shockwaves through Tottenham over the last few days.

The Lilywhites chief confirmed that he has stepped down from his role as executive chairman in N17 after over 25 years at the helm.

Levy’s decision to leave Tottenham has prompted plenty of speculation that the club could be up for sale, with a change of ownership potentially imminent.

ENIC and the Lewis family have denied all suggestions of a potential sale so far, but that hasn’t stopped talk of a takeover, with uncertainty continuing to spread among the fanbase.

Daniel Levy ‘grew tired’ of the abuse he received at Tottenham

Levy hasn’t always been a popular figure for Tottenham fans, as he has been blamed for their failings on the pitch on several occasions over the years.

The 63-year-old built a reputation for himself as a meticulous negotiator when it came to transfer business, and that prompted frustration from supporters on many occasions as they watched their team miss out on their key targets.

That issue was prevalent again this summer, when the likes of Eberechi Eze and Bryan Mbeumo seemingly slipped through the clutches of the N17 outfit.

However, ex-Spurs scout Bryan King – speaking exclusively to Tottenham News – believes that the scapegoating of Levy from some sections of the fanbase is what ultimately fuelled his decision to step down.

“I think Levy’s exit won’t impact the club as much as what people might think,” King said.

“He must have grown tired of the abuse to be honest, because no matter what he did or what happened at the football club, he has always come under this aggravation from the fans, who seemed to hold him solely responsible for everything that went wrong.

“I think he took Tottenham from an £80million football club to a £4billion football club. The supporters don’t worry about those sorts of things; all they want to see is their team winning.”

Daniel Levy has left Spurs in a good place

Levy’s departure gives Tottenham the opportunity to transform themselves into a club that can regularly compete for major titles.

Whether their outgoing chief was to blame or not, the Lilywhites simply haven’t been competitive enough in recent years, and they will be desperate for that to change moving forward.

The team have made a bright start under Thomas Frank, and now the hierarchy at the club need to match the ambition that the new boss has provided.

Thomas Frank has all the tools at his disposal to deliver big things at Tottenham.

Frank will be under huge pressure to succeed at Tottenham with Ange Postecoglou replacing Nuno Espirito Santo as Nottingham Forest manager.

The Australian will have Morgan Gibbs-White at his disposal after Tottenham missed out on him in the summer.

While the 51-year-old has had a fine start in North London, he may have been handed his biggest boost yet.

Tottenham News presents the exclusive opinion of iconic football commentator Ian Darke.

Cristian Romero a fan of the new Thomas Frank wave

For a while, it seemed like Cristian Romero was set to join Atletico Madrid. However, the defender has since signed an extension at Tottenham and is a huge part of their future.

Romero was also appointed Tottenham captain after Son Heung-min departed the club following almost a decade in North London.

It was touch-and-go in the summer. But Ian Darke – speaking exclusively to Tottenham News – believes Frank’s new wave at Spurs convinced Romero to extend.

“I think it’s probably smart, shrewd bit of business again from Frank,” Darke said.

“He’s looked at him and thought, I’ve got a real quality defender here. So they’ve spoken to him. They’ve told him, “Look, you’re the main man, you’re our captain, here’s a new deal, you’re going to be the highest earner at the club.”

“And I think that’s true. I think he’s liked everything he’s heard, and he likes the feel of Frank’s new wave, Tottenham. So I think I think he’s a pretty happy bunny. If he can be that key figure for Spurs, it’s all good news.

“I think last season, he looked like quite a disillusioned player who was just playing out his time with the club, and it looked like he’d definitely be on his way, but things change, don’t they?”

How has Cristian Romero performed for Tottenham this season?

Romero has had a fine start to the Premier League season under Frank and since becoming Tottenham’s captain.

The defender has been a force to be reckoned with, winning 66.7 per cent of his duels per 90 and 1.33 of his interceptions. Indeed, 1.33 per 90 is his special number, as that is also his record for blocked shots and fouls committed so far.

He has also made 4.67 worth of recoveries this season and, shockingly, has completed 100 per cent of his dribbles.

As such, his defensive contributions so far sit him at the same table as some of the best in the league, and if Frank wants to continue winning, Romero needs to maintain this form.

The Lewis family are looking to take Tottenham to the next level following Daniel Levy’s exit.

Levy stepping down as Tottenham chairman came as a huge shock at Hotspur Way. The former Spurs chairman had held the position for almost 25 years and had delivered meaningful change in North London.

The success of the new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has largely been attributed to Levy as well as several other business ventures. However, his sporting decisions have left a sour taste with many at the club.

This new age at Spurs without Levy as the face is hoped to inspire greatness for the coming years.

This news will please Spurs supporters who are desperate to see their club keep winning after lifting the UEFA Europa League trophy last season.

Tottenham have chosen the right man to lead the charge

There were concerns when it was announced that Thomas Frank would take over from Ange Postecoglou. Frank had yet to coach a Premier League ‘big six’ club, and Postecoglou had just won Spurs a European trophy.

However, the Dane has hit the ground running despite a slim 1-0 defeat during his last league game. Tottenham’s defeat against PSG in the UEFA Super Cup final gave fans hope, while back-to-back wins in the Premier League got them aboard the train.

Frank has already demonstrated that he can adapt to different teams and situations. This was best shown against PSG, while Spurs’ defeat to Bournemouth indicates that there is still work to be done.

Nevertheless, it seems Frank possesses the right tactical mind to help Tottenham achieve big things in the future.

Tottenham will be hoping to win the UEFA Champions League for the first time in their history this season.

Tottenham’s win in the UEFA Europa League ended their 17-year trophy drought as well as earning them Champions League qualification.

Spurs fans were certain that Ange Postecoglou would be the one to lead them in Europe for a second season. However, Thomas Frank replaced Postecoglou at Tottenham, who will now coach fellow Premier League side Nottingham Forest.

With Frank at the helm, the Lilywhites will be hoping to taste European glory once again.

According to Opta Supercomputer on Tuesday, 19 September, Tottenham have a 1.1 per cent chance of winning the Champions League.

Meanwhile, Liverpool are the favourites to win the competition with a 20.4 per cent chance, and Arsenal are second with 16 per cent.

Thomas Frank will need to rely on his Academy players

Frank will need to put a huge emphasis on rotation if Spurs are going to go far in the Champions League this season.

As such, he may need to dip into Tottenham’s Academy to ensure his senior players are well rested. Luca Williams-Barnett is one player Frank could debut over the course of the season.

But with the season long and Spurs currently competing in all competitions, several more could be given the nod. As such, Tottenham fans could see many of their Academy gems take centre stage this season.

Tottenham continue to experience chaos from the fallout of Daniel Levy’s exit.

The Lilywhites are currently experiencing one of their busiest years since the North London club was formed.

Levy is no longer Tottenham chairman after almost 25 years in the role, while the Lewis family continues to propel the club in a better, more efficient sporting direction.

But with the hours ticking down until the international break is over, Tottenham News rounds up the latest from Hotspur Way.

Rodrigo Bentancur is in the final year of his Tottenham contract and is free to talk with other clubs in January regarding a move as a free agent.

Atletico Madrid are showing a sustained interest in Tottenham’s Bentancur after making it clear over the summer. Diego Simeone’s men would “seriously value” the addition of Bentancur to their team in the coming months, according to Spanish outlet Fichajes.

Despite being unwilling to pay a transfer fee for the defensive midfielder, Atletico are keen on signing him for free. It is believed that Bentancur “would welcome” his first experience in La Liga.
