"The end of 25 years of Daniel Levy at Tottenham Hotspur was always bound to be an epoch in the club's history, and it was delivered by a new generation of billionaire heirs who oversaw the last days of the reign of the Premier League's longest-serving chairman. Levy, who spent years burnishing a reputation for ruthlessness, was brought down by the kids."
"Or rather, the children of the billionaire Joe Lewis, for many years his protector as the big money behind Spurs, forced formally last year to give up his ownership over the embarrassment of the insider trading charges in the United States. It is the children from Lewis's first marriage, Charlie and Vivienne, who now control the family office. It is they who have overseen the transition to the post-Levy era."
