Tottenham Chairman Daniel Levy Resigns After 25 Years Amid Ownership Changes

Daniel Levy's departure as Tottenham Hotspur chairman marks the end of a 25-year era during which he transformed the club into a commercial powerhouse but faced criticism for limited on-field success and transfer market decisions. Levy was widely criticized for failing to invest adequately in the squad, particularly during Mauricio Pochettino's tenure, where two transfer windows passed without signings despite strong team performance. His exit was reportedly orchestrated by majority owners ENIC, led by billionaire Joe Lewis' children, Vivienne and Charles, who are taking a more hands-on role in club operations, resembling a 'Succession'-style family business dynamic. Despite a sizeable summer spending spree, Tottenham missed out on several key signings, with some analysts suggesting ENIC could have matched Liverpool's spending if desired, indicating a shift in transfer strategy may now be underway. Levy's exit is seen as the start of a new era focused on long-term sporting success, with ENIC poised to increase investment and restructure leadership to improve results on the pitch. While Levy's legacy includes significant commercial growth and infrastructure development, the club and fans now look to see if the ownership changes will translate into greater competitive achievements.
