Daniel Levy has made himself a villain in the eyes of Tottenham fans after years of negligence

The euphoria surrounding the Europa League success at Tottenham is wearing out pretty quickly. It has been two weeks since that historic day and there is still no indication from the Lilywhites that they are looking to kickstart a new era at N17. Winning the competition and ending the 17-year wait for a major trophy was the perfect way for Daniel Levy to get the fans back on his side after years of heartbreak.

However, the Spurs chairman has failed to do that and the North London club has come back to square one. They are already playing catch-up with other clubs in the transfer market and fans are getting frustrated as the club is missing out on their intended targets for next season.

Ange Postecoglou’s fate is not yet decided, and the Lilywhites cannot sign new players before sorting out the managerial situation at the club. Daniel Levy’s relationship with the fans has never been good, and it looks like the Englishman is satisfied with that as he continues to dig a hole for himself at Hotspur Way. Several protests outside their home ground before games clearly indicate that the fans are tired of Levy’s negligence towards the club.

Dan Plumley backs a full takeover at Tottenham in the near future

Major changes are taking place at Tottenham this summer. Earlier this week, Spurs announced the departure of Executive Director Donna Cullen as the North London club prepares for new cash injections in the future. Cullen was working closely with Daniel Levy for almost two decades at N17, and fans believe that her departure is the start of many high-profile outgoings.

Now, football finance expert Dan Plumley has also weighed in on the situation and believes a full-takeover is on the cards. Speaking to Tottenham News, Plumley said,

“Spurs are the next club on the list of Premier League clubs, if you’re looking at high-value takeovers and looking at a full purchase acquisition. They’re in that mix of a £3billion starting point, so that kind of big takeover would appear to be the next one on the agenda. Levy has always been coming out and saying that they are looking for fresh investment.”

The finance expert added,

“It’s never quite materialised. The infrastructure of that club, the finances of it, despite the disaster on the pitch this season, it’s still one of those clubs that people will look at, with that very high net worth. Champions League football will add another £80million on the revenue line for the club next season, which will push the valuation up slightly.”

Dan Plumley has suggested that a full-takeover is next on the agenda for Daniel Levy at Tottenham. The finance expert adds that the Lilywhites are looking for fresh investments and they have not quite managed to do that. However, Plumley believes that the club still possesses a high net worth due its infrastructure and strong financials. Also, Champions League football next season will add another £80m on the revenue line for next season, which could increase the valuation to the north of the £3billion mark.

It remains to be seen what the Spurs chairman decides to do in the future. If a takeover is on the cards, then fans will hope that the North London club does its due diligence before accepting any bids from potential buyers. There is still hope amongst the Tottenham fans that Levy leaves N17 in the future, as the Lilywhites look to start a new era at Hotspur Way.
