It has emerged that despite Daniel Levy being forced out of his position as executive chairman at Tottenham Hotspur, his son, Josh, will keep his position at Tavistock, who are ENIC’s majority shareholders.
In a statement yesterday, Tottenham announced that Levy has stepped down from his role as Spurs chairman after 24 years at the helm of the North London club.
However, it later emerged that Levy had not stepped down but rather been sacked after an internal review of the club.
It emerged back in July that Levy’s son Josh had been appointed as one of the two co-CEOs of Tavistock, and a new report has revealed whether his role has changed following the ousting of his father.
Josh Levy is expected to continue in his role at Tavistock
The Telegraph have now revealed that despite seeing his father unceremoniously sacked, Josh Levy will keep his position as co-CEO of Tavistock.
Tavistock Group is the private investment company that is the majority owner of the ENIC Group, which is, in turn, the majority shareholder of Tottenham.
The children of Joe Lewis, Vivienne and Charles, are currently the managing directors of Tavistock, and it has emerged that they played a key role in the club’s decision to sack Daniel Levy.
Tavistock had a big hand in Daniel Levy’s Tottenham dismissal
Interestingly, The Telegraph backs up what we have heard from other sources by revealing that it is Tavistock, headed by Josh Levy, who led the internal review of Tottenham, which ultimately ended in his father’s sacking.
The publication reveals that Tottenham Hotspur insiders have compared what transpired to the plot of the hit television series Succession that follows an American business empire and the internal battles of a wealthy family that owns it.
The publication adds that after Levy’s ousting, Vivienne and Charles are expected to be even more powerful at the club, with sources close to the situation describing it as ‘a new era’ at Tottenham.
