"Perspective is a funny thing. While Spurs fans are mostly celebrating the demise of the figure widely blamed for holding them back, West Ham's are wondering if it really would be so bad to have a chair capable of delivering a world-class stadium and the occasional season of Champions League football. Perhaps chants of We want Levy in will soon be heard around Stratford."
"West Ham fans are fed up. Widespread disdain for David Sullivan, the largest shareholder, and the vice-chair, Karren Brady, means there will be anti-board protests before next Saturday's home game against Crystal Palace. Mutiny is in the air. A boycott of next month's game against Brentford has been proposed by Hammers United, a vocal fan group, and there is also the drama of West Ham's official Fan Advisory Board going public with a recent vote of no confidence in the club's board."
