It remains to be seen whether they can bring about high quality alternatives now. <\/p>\n<p>Tottenham already has major changes at the boardroom level, and Levy&#8217;s departure now marks the beginning of a new era at the club. The former Tottenham executive chairman has been consistently criticised by fans for his lack of ambition in the transfer market, and it will be interesting to see if his departure can help him bring together the horrible team in the end. <\/p>\n<p>Tottenham has invited several quality players this summer, and has also appointed a quality manager like Thomas Frank. It really feels like the beginning of a new journey at the club.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_did_Daniel_Levy_have_to_say\"><\/span>What did Daniel Levy have to say?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Daniel Levy said on the club&#8217;s official website: &#8220;I am extremely proud of the work I have done with the executive team and all the employees. We have built this club into a global heavyweight competition at the highest level. More than that, we have been in the year of Lily White House and Hotspur House and Hatspur House and Hatspur with the greats of this sport.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I would like to thank all the fans who have supported me over the years. It has not always been an easy journey, but great progress has been made. I will continue to support this club passionately.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tottenham_makes_a_surprising_decision\"><\/span>Tottenham makes a surprising decision<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><picture><source type=\"image\/webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/jacksonville-jaguars-v-chicago-bears-1-414x296.jpg.webp 414w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/jacksonville-jaguars-v-chicago-bears-1-630x450.jpg.webp 630w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/jacksonville-jaguars-v-chicago-bears-1-768x549.jpg.webp 768w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/jacksonville-jaguars-v-chicago-bears-1-770x550.jpg.webp 770w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/jacksonville-jaguars-v-chicago-bears-1-900x643.jpg.webp 900w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/jacksonville-jaguars-v-chicago-bears-1-1200x858.jpg.webp 1200w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/jacksonville-jaguars-v-chicago-bears-1-1536x1098.jpg.webp 1536w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/jacksonville-jaguars-v-chicago-bears-1-2048x1464.jpg.webp 2048w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width:1230px) 770px, (min-width:1020px) 630px, (min-width:900px) 880px, (min-width:680px) 97vw, (min-width:414px) 414px, 100vw\"><\/source><\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Daniel Levy, chairman of Tottenham Hotspur, and Ange Post Ecoglou, manager of Tottenham Hotspur.
