Daniel Levy Protests: would the president ever left Spurs among fans’ protests?
Various relationships in recent years have evaluated Tottenham between £ 3.5 billion and £ 4 billion.
Chelsea was purchased in an agreement for a value of £ 4.25 billion by Roman Abramovich in 2022 by a consortium led by the American investor Todd Boehly and by the private equity company Clearlake Capital. The purchase price was £ 2.5 billion with the commitment to spend 1.75 billion pounds in the next 10 years.
Meanwhile, Ineos by Sir Jim Ratcliffe has purchased a 25% participation in Manchester United for £ 1.03 billion in December 2023 in a process that included a rival offer of the Sheikh Jassim of Qatar, which was said to be closest to £ 5 billion for 100% of the club.
Despite those enormous sums, both clubs – unlike Tottenham – need important investments in their stages to unlock a greater commercial gain potential.
According to the first source, the period in which Tottenham was building their new 1.2 billion pound stadium, between 2017 and 2019, it meant that Levy was “consumed” and the advice “left everyone to do their job”.
Spurs got the Champions League football under Mauricio Pochettino for four seasons following 2018-19 – and were beaten in the 2019 final by Liverpool.
That source suggested Levy’s approach – i.e. “open to conversations but set” – has meant that many people with off -field skills have left Spurs over the years for more influential work.
Paul Barber was executive director between 2005-2010 and is now CEO of Brighton; Michael Edwards was the head of the SPRS analyst since 2009-2011 before leaving for Liverpool; The technical director of the FA John McDermott was the head of the Tottenham Academy and the development of the players until 2020; While the CEO of the FL Trevor Birch was – very briefly – the director of Tottenham football operations, from September 2020 to January 2021.
It could be argued that many of these highly appreciated managers enjoyed good careers at Tottenham before simply going forward, but the source claims to “have left the building too easily”.
Another source that worked closely with Levy a Spurs, again speaking anonymously, underlined that it has delivered “a basic infrastructure that is probably the best in the world” and suggested that it would give the club “an incredible base for future success – probably after Daniel’s time”.
They said that Arsenal took 10 to 15 years to compete for titles and qualify regularly for the Champions League football after reconstructing their infrastructure, with Levy who had inherited a dilapidated stage, an old training ground and an elderly team.
However, the source suggested that Levy has not yet obtained the “right formula” by employing the head of the right coach with the right players at the same time.
