Tottenham are stepping into a new era without Daniel Levy, and with the Lewis family holding the reins, there is already talk of a fresh approach that promises greater ambition on the pitch.
Tottenham Hotspur started life after Daniel Levy with a win over West Ham United in the Premier League, marking the first time in 24 years that the club competed without the former chairman at the helm.
Levy’s tenure delivered only two trophies across more than two decades, with their last success coming in Bilbao, Spain, when Tottenham lifted the Europa League.
Off the pitch, however, Levy transformed Tottenham into one of the most profitable sides in the game, making the club a financial powerhouse during his time in charge, even if that balance sheet success did not always translate into consistent triumphs on the field.
Tottenham set for new Lewis family approach after Levy exit
It is a new era in the boardroom for Tottenham, and according to fresh reports from The Telegraph, it is understood that sources close to the Lewis family have stressed that this next phase at Spurs will be different.
Those sources claim that Spurs will not be driven by debt but instead by what they described as “proper” backing, designed to give Tottenham the best chance of sustained sporting success.
While there are no specific details yet on how the investment will be delivered, those same sources underlined that “the proof will be in the pudding” and suggested that plans are already being mapped out behind the scenes.
The Lewis family, who remain majority owners, have already pledged to back Tottenham in a manner that reflects sporting ambition rather than purely financial stability.
ENIC have also promised investment at a level that is expected to run into nine figures, with talk of a fresh transfer strategy to follow as part of this shift in approach.
Spurs fans cautious despite promises of investment
For Spurs supporters, there is reason to be excited about the promise of change, yet there is also a natural sense of caution, as fans have grown weary of bold statements that are not always matched by decisive action in the market.
Levy’s final summer in charge saw Tottenham spend heavily, with Thomas Frank handed more than £150 million worth of transfer backing, showing that significant outlay is possible, though the jury remains out on whether that level of support will be repeated consistently.
Crucially, Spurs remain in a strong position regarding PSR rules, which means they are well placed to spend again if the Lewis family decide to push forward.
It now falls on the ownership to turn their words into action and show real intent in order to back the manager properly and drive Tottenham towards genuine progress.
