Sep 06, 2025

[London (UK) = Egan Sports Chosun.COM reporter] Tottenham fans complained even after the resignation of Daniel Levy.

The Tottenham Hotspur Supporters Trust (THST) urged the club to `strengthen sincere communication with fans' after the sudden resignation of Chairman Daniel Levy. The Supporters Trust acknowledged Levy, who had led the club for 24 years, but criticized him for being overly cautious and focusing only on extracting monetary value rather than making up for obvious weaknesses.

THST said in a statement that `President Levi's resignation is a golden opportunity for new leadership to discuss the future direction of the club through in-depth exchanges with fan organizations.'

The fan organization cited the construction of infrastructure such as Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and training ground as Levi's biggest achievement. "It is a great achievement to build a world-class stadium in Tottenham city center, the root of the club," he said, but pointed out that "the club lost money inside the stadium because it was only focused on cost and cost-effectiveness for the completion of the stadium."

In fact, the fans were pleased with the club's growth off the field in regular surveys every year, but they were not as focused on strengthening their performancehave consistently pointed out that " Tottenham has only two trophies in his 24 years in office, and critics say he has not made a proper leap even after reaching the Champions League final under Pochettino.

THST also said "Levy legally emphasized his willingness to communicate with fans, but in reality, it was only a one-sided announcement. Authentic exchanges with fans were not his strengths," he said, citing the push for the Super League (ESL), the decision to take unpaid leave of employees during the pandemic, and the policy of reducing annual membership.

With Levy's resignation, the club's management will be effectively transferred to the system of the Lewis family and new CEO Vinay Venkatesham. In response, THST said "With the possibility of external investment being discussed, the club must adhere to the five principles promised to the fans. We will ask questions directly and through the official consultative body (FAB) about the club's future strategy, investment plan, and leadership stability."

Finally, THST is grateful for Chairman Levi's achievements for his dedication over 24 years. I wish him all the best in the future" concluded the statement with words.
