"Building such a stadium in the dense, urban heart of our home, Tottenham, is no mean feat. While some may still hanker after the more intimate White Hart Lane, it is clear that THS [Tottenham Hotspur Stadium] was needed to allow Tottenham Hotspur to compete on an equal footing with Europe's football elite. Our thanks go to Daniel for his vision and drive in delivering the stadium."
"And yet, the laser focus on cost and value for money necessary for completing the stadium didn't serve the club so well on the pitch. Our members and other respondents to our annual surveys consistently over many years valued the club's development off the pitch but wanted greater focus on the football. As welcome as the Europa League win was, it was only the second trophy during Daniel's 24-year reign."
Daniel Levy stood down as executive chairman, a change understood to have been orchestrated by the Lewis family trust to try to improve on-field fortunes. Fans expressed frustration that large investments in a world-class stadium and training ground were not matched by similar spending on the playing squad. The Tottenham Hotspur Supporters' Trust urged new leadership to deepen ties with supporters, praised the stadium and infrastructure achievements, and thanked Levy for delivering them. The trust criticised a laser focus on cost and value for money that hindered on-pitch progress, noting only two trophies during Levy's 24-year reign and a cautious transfer approach.
