Daniel Levy believes his impact at Tottenham Hotspur will only be fairly judged once he is gone


Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy is convinced that his impact at the North London club will only be fairly judged once he is gone and no longer calling the shots.

The 63-year-old is the longest-serving chairman in the Premier League having taken up the position at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium club since 2001.

Levy has largely divided opinion as most Spurs fans have been calling for his head for years, but it does not appear he is leaving anytime soon.

Tottenham left White Hart Lane for their current stadium in 2019 and it is widely regarded as one of the best grounds in the world.

It is an achievement Levy is proud of as he insists other clubs are now trying to copy Spurs.

“When you come here and look at this wonderful building (Tottenham Hotspur Stadium), and the fact that other clubs are now trying to copy what we’re doing, that should be a sign that maybe we did do something bold, and something right.

“The construction of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is my greatest achievement, and I’m not doing it again. This stadium is a symbol of Tottenham Hotspur on the global map. I think it’s fantastic for the local community – the employment that we’re creating because of this stadium.

“We’re very conscious that we want this area to improve economically and the activity that this stadium brings is very significant for locals.”

The multi-purpose stadium features the world’s first dividing, retractable football pitch, which reveals a synthetic turf field underneath for NFL games, concerts and other events.

It helps to generate income and provides jobs for those around the area, and its construction is something Levy has got right since being the chairman of the club.

Spurs are also believed to be in talks over the naming rights of the stadium as it has been without a sponsor since it was opened.

Tottenham have been holding out for a deal worth around £25 million per annum for 15 years, which would see them earn a world-record £375m as far as naming rights go, and a Saudi Arabian entity are reportedly frontrunners to secure the deal.
