During Tottenham matches in recent and not-so-recent years, the name of Dr Tottenham was often on fans’ lips. Rarely in complimentary terms. “I don’t care about [Dr Tottenham], he don’t care about me, all I care about is [Dejan] Kulusevski,” was one such song. After Thursday’s yellow-ticker trembler, all those fans need worry about is when Kulusevki’s knee-knack allows him to return to Spurs’ teams. Did Levy jump or was he pushed? The suggestion from Big Website is the latter, the executive-chairman, Levy’s job title, shunted for a fresh suit structure. Instead of Levy as an all-seeing eye with hands pulling tight the strings on the purse, two suits will divide duties. Peter Charrington as nonexecutive chair arrives, Vinai Venkatesham, named as chief exec in April, will grow further in influence. The Lewis family who majority-own Tottenham are, it is understood by proper journalists, looking for outside investment.
The Lewis Family Trust owns 70.12% of Enic, the company that holds 86.91% of the shares in Spurs. Levy and members of his family own the other 29.88% of Enic, a wrinkle that may need to be Botox-ed. In his farewell statement, Levy said: “I will continue to support this club passionately.” Though perhaps not among those Spurs fans who didn’t care for him for so many years. Thus, time to consider the Levy legacy. Widely, his tenure is divided into opposing views. On the credit side: Levy’s canny business development, including his personal management of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium project, opened in 2019, replacing the beloved but tired White Hart Lane, was a success. Spurs’s home is the envy of much of European football.
