'My greatest achievement'- Proud Daniel Levy lauds ‘bold’ decisions that led to Tottenham Hotspur’s rise under his leadership

Levy believS that by having a multi-purpose stadium, Spurs are also benefiting from concerts and NFL games, and this is making the club sustainable. He stated that this kind of thinking is necessary for long-term success. Levy said that bold decisions had to be taken and criticisms had to be faced, but today Spurs stand with a new strength.

“I think it’s one of those situations – when I’m not here I’m sure I’ll get the credit. When you come here and look at this wonderful building (Tottenham Hotspur Stadium), and the fact that other clubs are now trying to copy what we’re doing, that should be a sign that maybe we did do something bold, and something right.

“The construction of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is my greatest achievement, and I’m not doing it again. This stadium is a symbol of Tottenham Hotspur on the global map. I think it’s fantastic for the local community – the employment that we’re creating because of this stadium.

“We’re very conscious that we want this area to improve economically and the activity that this stadium brings is very significant for locals.”

The multi-purpose stadium features the world’s first dividing, retractable football pitch, which reveals a synthetic turf field underneath for NFL games, concerts and other events. It helps to generate income and provides jobs for those around the area, and its construction is something Levy has got right since being the chairman of the club.

To be honest, as Tottenham fans, we have always been at a crossroads with Levy. Trophyless years and some questionable managerial appointments have added to the frustration. Still, we give him full credit for a completely futuristic project like the stadium. Today, with one of the best football stadiums in the world, Tottenham have become a serious European force. Champions League qualification and Europa League wins show that the foundation is finally looking strong.

Yes, Levy doesn’t always make perfect decisions, but his long-term vision gives the club a different stature. If Spurs start winning trophies regularly with a blend of Thomas Frank’s impact and new attacking signings, then perhaps the respect for him will grow in the hearts of fans. We want Levy to listen to criticism, understand fan expectations and bring some emotional understanding to footballing decisions. We remain a hopeful Spurs supporter, with the dream of winning trophies becoming Tottenham’s true identity.
