Unpopular opinion: Daniel Levy was hugely positive for Tottenham Hotspur. Spurs’ chairman stepped down yesterday, understood to have been forced out by the controlling Lewis family, whose dad Joe ran the club for decades. Many Spurs fans are rejoicing the man who represents failed transfers, too many managers and not enough trophies has gone. But Levy is the most rare of commodities in a football world consumed by profits and brand awareness - he’s a fan. When he arrived Spurs were outside the top ten in the league and fans’ only hope of Europe was on holidays. Now they’ve been a top six club for 14 of the last 16 seasons, won the Europa League, been to a Champions League final and have one of the finest stadiums on the planet. You only have to look at some of the the teams Spurs failed to beat the year he arrived - Charlton, Coventry, Derby, Southampton etc - to see that Levy has kept Spurs at the top for so long. With where they were st the time, it could have been very different.
