Daniel Levy left the Tottenham fans in disbelief with the shock bombshell that he would be stepping down from his role as chairman at the club.
Levy was a controversial figure among the Tottenham fanbase with the 63-year-old making the club into a financial powerhouse but also bringing limited success during his time as chairman.
Pundits took aim at Levy after Arsenal hijacked Tottenham’s transfer for Eberechi Eze this summer, and Spurs fans also vented their frustrations at the chairman.
This summer Levy helped get deals across the line for Xavi Simons, Mohammed Kudus, Joao Palhinha and Randal Kolo Muani in what proved to be his last summer transfer window.

Levy’s departure shocked many, and has left a lot of people wondering whether his departure signals the start of wider changes at the club.
Speaking on talkSPORT’s breakfast programme [September 5], Simon Jordan backed Levy’s achievements: “I would say, probably, Joe Lewis, the Lewis family have probably pushed Daniel, the judgement is interesting.
“Whether they want to get some new money in the business, whether they’re selling the business, and Daniel may be being moved out of the way to achieve both outcomes.

“It’s an interesting characterisation that the Lewis family are now putting out, that they’re suggesting that they want a new level of success which then positions them with some new currency with the fans,” Jordan continued.
“I imagine the business was run by Daniel under their directions and their ambitions were probably very different, to fund the football club in a different way.
“So it’s now interesting that they’re positioning themselves in pursuit of success because that gives them extra currency with the fans and makes this look like a new era and Daniel as part of the past and the reasons why they didn’t get success.
“I think the legacy for Daniel has to be that he’s bought a brilliant football club, with a real opportunity, and those that are revelling in the fact that Daniel’s gone, be careful what you wish for.
“We’ll see what the future looks like, because it won’t be a wonderful thing if every single football club that we have in this country is owned by Middle Eastern or American businesses,” Jones finished.
