Exclusive: Daniel Levy ‘desperate’ amid Tottenham exit update
Daniel Levy is “desperate” for a trophy at Tottenham amid uncertainty surrounding his future as chairman in North London.
Having taken over as Spurs chairman in 2001, when ENIC bought a controlling stake from Alan Sugar, Levy has endured a rocky relationship with fans of the North London club.
During his time in charge, Tottenham have become the Premier League’s best-run club from a business point of view, raking in £4.8million per match in revenue [Mail Sport], putting them behind only Barcelona and PSG in Europe.
However, whilst Spurs are thriving financially and have a flashy new stadium to show for it, in terms of the footballing side, things have been underwhelming in the 24 years under Levy‘s stewardship.
A solitary League Cup win in 2008 is all that Tottenham have won in terms of trophies since the turn of the century.
As such, many Tottenham fans are desperate to see Levy leave the club, with fans protesting Levy and ENIC’s ownership in February during their match against Man United.
Tottenham have interest from Qatari investment group
The Guardian reported in February that an investment group from Qatar were looking into buying Tottenham, but their plans included keeping Levy in place as executive chairman.
Coupled with the uncertainty surrounding Ange Postecoglou’s job as Tottenham manager, Spurs’ short-term future remains unresolved.
Whilst many Tottenham fans will want to see the back of their 63-year-old chairman, ex-Spurs defender Alan Hutton believes it is unlikely Levy will be leaving the club any time soon.
Alan Hutton thinks Daniel Levy won’t be leaving Tottenham
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, via NewBettingOffers.co.uk, Hutton was asked if he thinks the pressure on Levy will lead to him relinquishing control of the North London-based club, to which he responded: “I just don’t see it, I honestly don’t see it.
“Even from my time when I was there, these questions were getting bandied about from then.
“I mean that was ‘08 and we’re still kind of talking about it now.
“I genuinely believe he loves the club. He wants it to do well. He runs it exceptionally well as a business, and I understand there’s two parts to it. There’s a playing side and the business side, and in an ideal world, they would both marry up and be perfect, but it’s not quite how it works.

“And I think he’s desperate for success, but hopefully when they get the trophy that they’ve all been dying for, then the kind of, the heat around him can kind of settle down and die down a little bit, but for me, I just don’t see him walking away.
“Not at this moment of time or not in the next two, three, four, five years or anyway.”
