Tottenham sent shockwaves through the world of football by announcing former president Daniel Levy had resigned from his role in overseeing the club’s operations.
During his two and a half years at Spurs, Levy transformed the club from the field to a financial powerhouse.
World Football’s Most Profitable Club – 2025 | value |
|---|---|
real madrid | 1.2 billion pounds |
Man City | 727 million pounds |
psg | 700 million pounds |
Man United | £668 million |
Bayern Munich | £664 million |
FC Barcelona | 659.5 million pounds |
Arsenal | £621.5 million |
Liverpool | £620 million |
Tottenham Hotspur | £533 million |
Chelsea | £474 million |
Their cutting-edge new stadiums and training facilities are one of the best facilities in the world, with Levi deserving credit for leaving the N17 in a much more stable state than he inherited.
But in the field, that was a different story.
Levi attracted consistent criticism of the lack of spending compared to other members of the Premier League “The Big Six.” It is widely seen only as Tottenham won two major trophies during his 63-year-old tenure.
Levy was particularly at the heart of the mass protests last season, with Enic taking the decision to entrust the company despite official statements that he left his consent.
“Tottenham owners want to move in a new direction, so it makes sense for them to enter a new leadership team,” said Skyjournalist Cabesorhekol in the aftermath of Thursday’s huge news.
Levy is so closely involved in the club’s day-to-day operations that it has always been assumed that he will not leave unless the club is sold.
“Tottenham’s official statement last night – of course, given everything he did for the club, Levy said he had “stepped down.”
“It would have been more accurate to say he was asked to resign, but that would have been rude to the man who dedicated much of his job to the club.”
According to insider Paul O’Keefe, this is backed up by other reliable media sources, with Ennik’s plan to essentially weaken Levy’s cast iron grip.
Brutal Way Tottenham said Daniel Levy would leave
Now, according to the era, it is believed that Levi was told he would resign from Tottenham in a rather brutal way.
Certainly, according to their information, the Spurs collected the decision hours before the club made public announcements.
Given how big of a role he played in keeping Tottenham away from the pitch, this probably wasn’t the most dignified ending for Levy despite mixed reviews from supporters.
In any case, the Spurs assert that a “new era” began after Levy’s departure. This comes months after the former chairman’s statement that he wanted to win both the Premier and Champions Leagues.
“The pressure and disappointment to not win for years were not just for me, but for all the fans around the world, but for me,” Levy said after Tottenham won the Europa League in May.
“We deserve luck. The last seven minutes or so were horrible. We felt the final whistle for hours to win. It was a great experience and we saw the pouring of emotion in the parade.
“You know, it was incredible. We won the European trophy, but that’s not enough. What we did is more important. We need to win the league. We want to win the Premier League. We want to win the Champions League.
