Reading Time: 2min | Fri. 05.09.25. | 11:53
In the end, the fans got what they wanted, as Daniel Levy, the longest-serving EPL chairman, decided to step down
In December 2000, an English businessman, Daniel Levy - or better said, his company ENIC - purchased 29.9% of Tottenham Hotspur's shares from Alan Sugar for £22 million, and two months later, the then-38-year-old became the North London side's chairman.
During the following 24 years, Tottenham will become a regular participant of European competitions, play the UEFA Champions League final, build an extravagant stadium, and win the UEFA Europa League, while the Englishman will become the longest-serving Premier League chairman.
His Spurs will bring up and/or develop Harry Kane, Christian Eriksen, Son Heung-min, Luka Modric, Dele Alli, and many others, and make Gareth Bale the first player paid €100 million.
Names like Harry Redknapp, Andre Villas-Boas, Mauricio Pochettino, Jose Mourinho, Nuno Espirito Santo, and Antionio Conte will sit on Tottenham's bench.
However, as of yesterday, Levy isn't Spurs' chairman anymore, as the fans finally got what they wanted.

Despite winning the UEL last season, Tottenham finished just one spot above the relegation zone in the Premier League, the captain Son and the boss Ange Postecoglou left, and the club failed to sign several targets, such as Eberechi Eze and Morgan Gibbs-White.
All these factors affected the fans' opinion about Spurs' chairman, and he succumbed to the pressure and resigned.
"I am incredibly proud of the work I have done together with the executive team and all our employees. We have built this club into a global heavyweight competing at the highest level. More than that, we have built a community."

"I was lucky enough to work with some of the greatest people in this sport, from the team at Lilywhite House and Hotspur Way to all the players and managers over the years. I wish to thank all the fans that have supported me over the years. It hasn't always been an easy journey but significant progress has been made. I will continue to support this club passionately," Levy said in his official statement.
The new Tottenham chairman will be the club's majority owner, Peter Charrington, though the outgoing chairman will keep his percentage of the shares.
