Tottenham owners made a big power play on Daniel Levy after sacking him

1 hour ago 20

The details of what Daniel Levy was told after being sacked as Tottenham chairman have now emerged, giving further credence to the fact that it was the ultimate power play by the Lewis family.

While Tottenham had said in their announcement that Levy had stepped down from his role as executive chairman, that was not the case if reports are to be believed.

Many outlets have said that Levy was asked to resign rather than stepping down of his own accord following an internal review headed by Tavistock Group, who are the majority shareholders of ENIC.

According to some sources, Levy was only informed of his sacking just hours before Tottenham made the announcement, with the 63-year-old being completely blindsided by the development.

Daniel Levy was barred from Tottenham’s training ground

The Athletic have now confirmed that Levy had no idea on the morning of the day of his sacking that his time at the club would end abruptly.

Even more interestingly, they reveal that the former Tottenham Hotspur supremo was not even allowed to enter the training ground to retrieve his possessions after his dismissal.

His wife Tracey, who worked at the club until the day Levy was sacked, was also barred, with their belongings being returned by van.

The report explains that this kind of separation is far from rare in the corporate world, particularly at blue-chip companies, but it is still evidence that it was the ultimate power move by the Lewis family, given that Levy had called the shots at Tottenham for 24 years.
