Daniel Levy knew longer ago building a brand new stadium capable of hosting concerts,boxing, NFL games would be Tottenham’s way of competing against other big six rivals. Our fanbase has criticized our chairman, gave him a lot of stick when he chose not back our manager(s), but give him credit when it’s due. Because he has put our club well in now to invest and bringing new players this January when other clubs in the premier league can’t because of strict financial regulations.

Hate him or love him you cannot deny Daniel Levy is a great business man. Turning the stadium to a concert/nfl/tour events made them make close to a billion a year. To even get Spurs in the "big 6" conversation is amazing considering what they had won. Everyone wanted him and the owners out but just 2 good appointments of DOF and Manager and thats brushed under the carpet. He does deserve more respect imo

I remember in the early 2000's when you could get tickets at WHL for the lesser games without too much hassle, that on a 35 - 40000 capacity. We talk a lot about players wages but Berbatov, Modric, Bale and Kane and Son seem to have about doubled the fanbase! Harry Redknapp gave them a title run and CL football when they had never had anything like that in modern times, in my view it was Redknapp that changed the mentality of Spurs, you look back and can see everything changed from when he took charge of the club.

I've never been a Levy hater as I feel he's done an outstanding job. We do need to win trophies now! COYS

Truth is that no fan wanted Big Ange, mainly because very few had even heard of him! Credit to Levy for trying the "Big-Wigs", but thus far AP's appointment has been a masterstroke & surely helped fill the coffers. Word also has it we're hosting the British Grand Prix in the underground car park this year! 😂

Levy is a smart version of the Glazers.

Spurs have been smart and played the long game. They will dominate English football soon. Mark my words

It's amazing how every football club thinks there owners money is now there's

I will say it with chest. I am levy in. He isn't above criticism but what he has done for the club in an Era of billionaires and states owning clubs is amazing. Hopefully with Ange we can go to the next level.

Key to sucess is growth. If Tottenham wanted to compete at the top they had to grow as a club from stable midtable, and with levy at the helm they have done steadily gradually improving all facets of the club from training ground to stadium and now squad.. I think spurs now have the stability to push on and win something... From an outsider it's a fascinating project... Just a shame they didn't win anything with kane..!

The way Jordan glazes Levy and Spurs you would have thought he supported Tottenham

Once upon a time the discussion would have been how good a certain team was playing and how individual players were entertaining the fans of not just their own clubs, but getting grudging praise from rivals. Now they discuss balance sheets and turnover. The beautiful game?

I've got a lot of time for Daniel Levy to be fair. The issues have never been about his business, but the footballing decisions have really shown he's a bit limited. Allowing the squad to stagnate from 18/19 was unacceptable. Re-entering the market was a car crash we are still feeling. Sacking Poch was reactionary short term-ism. The managers that followed were a culture shock to the club on and off the pitch. To be fair to Levy and the club we seem to have recognised this, and done a full restructure. Scott Munn, Johan Lange and Ange seem to be excellent football minds, even the academy and scouting teams have even been restructured. This is a different club. Levy deserves credit and criticism in equal measure IMO.

Look Levy and Co came into Tottenham thinking they could run it like a run of the mill business they looked at the training facilities the ground and knew that changes Had to be made. That’s done. Mistakes have been made the last 3 managers just simply did Not fit the clubs history dna. Money is now rolling in and it’s time to move Forward and Not keep looking back. In Ange we have not just a football manager but a gentleman with heart and compassion. We are moving forward 100%

Levy turned around and admitted that Mourinho and Conte were mistakes. Appointing Ange has been his salvation. I have always admired him for the investment he's brought to the clubs infrastructure its very important.

I’m not a spurs fan but I never understood the hate towards Levy

What happened in 2008? UAE bought the PL/Man City and everyone else has been playing catch up since then.

Levy with Ange has put us in a position to win

Very well said we suffered a long time with a lack of speculate to accumulate on players Levy needs to step up and back Ange. The bale money was never spent only part of it on mediocre players, And there was always something in the bank that was not being used and we never replaced the top players we sold

There was a long period where our recruitment was terrible. When Hitchen was DOF we made some rubbish signings. Now we have Paratici we actually look like we have a strategy and plan. Now that we have got away from Conte and Jose we can now be the team that we should be. A trophy will come but it may take a couple of seasons. If we get past city we have a decent chance in the cup. A big if tho

people say it's about money and they are right but then refuse to put any real cap on salaries, don't share revenue evenly. They say it's about money but refuse to limit the rich teams from using money to win everything.

Man City, Chelsea, Liverpool, etc., have been prepared run up enormous losses and spend billions in order to win trophies. I don’t blame Levy for not taking that approach and being financially responsible, but it does come at the cost of trophies

I totally believe in Daniel Levy the way you he runs Spurs. I rather have staple club than spending billions and club is liquidated. Buying the most expensive player does not bring success. Love from South Africa

Daniel Loves his number 1 PR Boy Simon...

When you look at what Levy has achieved in his time in charge its astounding. All that is missing is the cherry on the cake of more trophies

The fanbase have no real business or analytical skills when you examine them, they're just ruled by their emotions. Always remind yourself of arsenal under Wenger, well run always profitable and top 5 always then the fanbase kicked up such hatred that he left, took em a long time and a lot of money to even return to the same level. Be careful what you wish for.

It sums up modern football that the fans are celebrating his business brillance rather than what happens on the pitch.

Jordan is sticking up for his mate Levy but it pains me to say it, without Levy we probably would not be in that postion to be that rich

Hi from Dave up the spurs,from Ulster,we will beat city and win the FA cup,mark my words,I be backing them,this is the best team I have seen in a long time,come on you SPURS YEA YOOOO!!!!!!!!!

Always supported our chairman. He has run our club in a responsible way. Now we are reaping the benefits of his very careful, clever ( stadium) and responsible leadership. Credit where it's due.

For the fans it’s all about 🏆🏆🏆🏆

Some us are old enough to remember Irvine Scholar and us nearly going out of Business. I would take exciting football and stable financials.

Levy has done a great job of building a fantastic infrastructure for the club, we are now the richest club in LONDON and 8 th in the world. We will surely build a good young squad and trophies will follow.

Spurs relied on the sale of big time players to fund new transfers. Berba, modric, Carrick, bale. Now we don't have to sell players to fund transfers as much. It's a process that's starting to come to fruition after probably a decade of planning.

Its amazing were the richest club in London and we haven’t won the lge since 61 still thou 62000 fans every home game

Wait a min, i thought only fans bring good revenue? Crazy bs narrative when it comes to City..So Spurs would have made around 800m if they did the treble? It seems that does not apply to City

In terms of a business, we are the best business in the league. We are incredibly healthy football club financially with no Russian gangster or oil money. Unfortunately getting across the line in terms of trophies has been our Achilles Heel. And a conversation should be had about what trophies. Tottenham Hotspur should be challenging for. Winning the league cup simply isn’t as important as getting into the Champions League and unfortunately money has destroyed the glamour of the FA Cup. The truth is Tottenham aren’t good enough to win the league or the Champions League. So I’m not sure what trophies Tottenham should be winning because Top 4 is now the 3rd in terms of priorities

Simon = top LAD proper clobber. Apparently there is actually real life bits of coral straight from the shores of Cairns, Australia engraved in that dapper blazer

Top Chairman! Deserves a lot of respect!

They'll stick that straight in the trophy cabinet next to Harry Kane's golden boots.

I have all ways trust D Levey to do the right thing and not put the club in jeopardy he’s build the the best stadium in the UK and it’s beginning to pay off so I hope he carries on doing what he is doing looking after spurs

Most clubs would love a chairman like levy Billion dollar stadium top managers and decent players You can’t blame levy for failings on the pitch you would expect Kane and son etc to have won something

Obviously no one is immune to criticism, but imagine thinking you know better than him and think you know how to run the club better than him. Always baffled me how people are so arrogant and think they know best.

WIll Spurs be having an Open Top Bus parade - to celebrate this achievement ?

Meanwhile joe lewis is found guilty for insider trading

Sign Simon Jordan up for life on talk sport says it on the tin

Quick!!!! Someone get them a trophy for this 😂😂😂😂😂

As Simon said, it's all about the money. Doesn't matter to the owners if Spurs didn't win another trophy for 23 years, as long as they're quids in. Would be nice for Spurs fans if they did, but they don't have to think about the money so they don't count. I'm one of those that couldn't give a stuff about football at the top level - it's just a monopoly game now run by the few for the few.

SJ really nailed it. It does feel like Levy has finally set his sites on winning silverware AND trusting an attack-minded, positive manager who will sign the right kind of "Tottenham" players to at least try and win something. Levy has silenced the haters, me included haha.

Spurs - the most successful unsuccessful club ever.

Tottenham and trophies don’t sit well in a sentence

Isn’t F&B ‘Food and Beverages’?

Chelsea trophy cabinet is full of trophies and Spurs is empty.

The richest but the emptiest trophy room 😂

An interesting segment...as a Chelsea fan of almost 40 years I can say that I am very disappointed that Spurs are now the richest club in London. As I cast my mind back I am reminded of all those balance sheet, profit/loss and net spend trophies I never watched my side pick up along the way. Stamford Bridge doesn't have a really long bar, an underground NFL pitch or a cheese room. The nostalgia of all those shareholder meetings where Daniel Levy talked about dividends and fiscal prudence is something that I will never have. Instead I have to make do with PL titles, 2 CL wins, domestic cups...that 90s side with Zola, managed by Gullit/Vialli that won domestic/european cups...and all of those big finals and epic european nights. I know it all pales into insignificance when compared to financial statements...afterall...thats what being a fan is all about eh?

The admission prices at this stadium is FRIGHTENING 😮😡

A fan surely can't say "I would rather be financially sustainable than see my team win trophies." If that's the case then you're an accountant not a football fan.

Conte almost destroyed the whole club in couple of months, and this era of bringing in managers for a season or a two so you can win something is over. It's not worth the implosion you will have to suffer through when things don't go their way, and they start blaming everyone but themselves.

Love levy pound for pound best chair in the league

As Spurs Fans we always knew that Tottenham have money, now the 9th richest club, amd know the Daniel Levy is Brilliant Businessman ( Really Evident by strong position Tottenham are in with FFP rules by both FA and UEFA ). The Criticism of Levy is based on the Football decisions he's made that didn't work out for both players and managers of the team. Also when not making any signings, which he's responsible for, but not well Known is Extra Blame/Criticism he receives that is actually Joe Lewis making decisions that upset the Fans of Spurs, and then blame Levy!! Now it appears that the front office is set up with the right people & right coach for Tottenham Hotspur tp have a bright future!! *Of course that's been said before, so time will tell??

I thought Newcastle were supposed to be bigger than the "next 10 Clubs combined?"

football is about winning, especially for top teams. spurs are a bit confusing because they are selective at what their good at. they had a chance to make money and win with porch, They didn't want to invest that 200 mil that would've got them over the hill and into a new horizon. They are out of the all competitions, are not guaranteed 4th but somehow we have to pat them on the back and clap for them. ITS A FOOTBALL CLUB FFS. Its a stadium not a mall. getting your fans to overpay for pie isn't good business sense.

Clubs that have businessmen at the helm are either quietly successful or noisely disasterous. Spurs haven't won trophies but their football is always great to watch, they have a very good and loyal fan base, they are financially very bouyant, and they now have arguably one of the best stadiums and player facilities in Europe. That's a combination just about every club in the premier league would want in their trophy cabinet. The cost of winning trophies can be catastrophic for clubs financially: retaining that status even more expensive. If the fans are interested in top quality football at a fanstatic venue then Spurs deliver. Trophies will come if it's meant to be, but if you go spending 300 million on players to chase a trophy the chances of you wiining are still slim.

Levy has done an incredible job in elevating Tottenham PLC and creating one of the best stadiums in the world. He has created a solid long term platform for continued success. Where one could and I did, criticise him, was for poor judgement in appointing some of his managers. However, despite some errors of judgement, he tried to rectify these failures by appointing top managers like Mourinho and Conte. Most clubs would bite your hands off to land, such highly rated managers. They were, after all, serial winners. So its not as though he wasn't trying to do the right thing although, some including me never thought Mourinho was a fit for Spurs. I would never have chosen him but when Conte came in Spurs fans were dancing in the street! He was as it transpired an even worse fit than Mourinho. He thought he was bigger than the club. Spurs was beneath a man with his CV. I think Mourinho had much the same outlook. Spurs are lucky to have Levy and I am convinced his stewardship will reap huge and lasting returns in the not too distant future. Be careful what you wish for Spurs fans. Many clubs would bite your hands off to have him at the helm of their clubs. Stick with the plan. Its an excellent one.

I called it years ago . Different way of building. Levy is a genius

Daniel Levy has the worst trophy per season percentage stats of any THFC chairman since World War Two, despite being the chairman of the richest THFC in its history...

In May 2023, Tottenham Under-18s won the Under-18 Premier League Cup. The Academy players look promising.

How can you say we had a chance with HK, he never turned up in semi- finals or Finals I think in them all,he scored one goal he did not turn up in big games.

Daniel Levy has over a number of years been working toward making Spurs financially able to compete more effectively in the transfer market with the apex predators. There have been errors along the way with managerial appointments and player recruitment and retention, recently he has recruited advisors who are currently playing a blinder in the transfer market, and Ange seems to have been a great choice for our club, it's made football fun again after the miserable fare served up by Nuno Mou and Conte. It's been a rollercoaster ride this season, and, against my expectations we're still in with a shout of a top 4 spot, Daniel Levy has put Spurs on the right track after several derailments, he needs to keep his nerve, hold on to Ange and make sensible recruitment choices for the medium to long term, we don't need the spectacular marquee signings we just need players made of the right stuff and leave the rest to Big Ange. It's taken a long time but Daniel Levy has upped his game and can get Spurs over the line.

Come on you spurs! Now lets win something....... PLEASE!!!!

Incoming DVD 😂😂

Imagine if Spurs DID win something, I'm sure Levy is thinking about it. For instance they still haven't sold naming right's for the stadium.

2-3 years we will do it 👍🏼

Such a misleading title. Villas owners worth way more then spurs for instance. Decent turnover but they have a big debt on the stadium. Turnover doesn't equal profit. Spurs have big debt.

Simon is right football is no longer a sport it’s first and foremost a business, it has to make a profit

Funny as. I heard these same comments back in 2006.😂

Tottenham fans should be happy because their board members made money 🤔

Do we get a trophy for being the richest club in London 🤔 This is why we the fans get mocked all the time 😡 by the two other rival London clubs who have won loads of trophies more recently and more than 1 in 23 years!!!!!

Best club in the world.

We badly need to win something though!

Levy already has his trophy 😂

But we've got the Biggest Club Shop in Europe trophy and the Worlds First Retractable Dividing Pitch Trophy.

FFP is the worst thing to happen to football, locking in the same clubs, this is a great example, for a start its stupid basing on revenue because all the old clubs keep the same advantages and even worse if clubs can base their revenue on non footballing events, this gives london clubs a huge advantage

This time next year Arsenal will be the "biggest" team in London. It's not hard to predict, and as Jordan says shouldn't be judged on the strength of a clubs turnover. Tottenham has debts of over £800m, that can only hamper them in the transfer market unless they sell their best assets, they can't afford to do that every season without having suitable replacements.

Levy In!

Hard to be critical about the performance on the pitch.. Levy doesn't play or pick the team. Made a mistake in appointing Mourinho though.

Daniel Levy = Profit over glory.

TO DARE IS TO DO, we’re still watching waiting

Simon's lenses are so thick, he can see his future 👓👓👓👓👓👓

I will only change my stance on levy if now we are in a position to push on and our rivals are less able to we push on ifwe penny pinch and waste this opportunity then it means nothing

It's both impressive and unimportant. But if they pour their riches into football, then it could be significant.

Good business man, but the culture of winning comes from the top who set the tone and expectation. This has been his/and the club’s failing whereby being nearly good enough has been acceptable which for the fans it is not.

Does this show the undying loyalty of the fans, or just how much 'Sport' is associated with Football?

Funny how all of these Spuds fans come out now and praise Levy so much, not so long ago there demonstrations at Three point lane- Jokers.

Levy still has to pay for the club stadium.

WIN US TROPHIES, well said Simon.

In ten years' time, the football landscape is going to be very different. I have a feeling Spurs will be somewhere near the top.

Sir Simon = Top LAD Proper Clobber 💯 Facts

Big Ange to Liverpool next year

Sorry guys, i look at the trophy count first & foremost. Not the financial turnover to admire a club.
