Which, of course, is not dissimilar to the goings on in the Tottenham Hotspur boardroom over the last 25 years. You can divide Daniel Levy’s premiership into an impressive 16 first years and a chaotic last nine. It simply ran out of steam.
Two trophies in 25 years did not sate the appetite of a fanbase reared on the founding myths of 1961. Seventeen years elapsed between the first Enic silverware, the 2008 League Cup, and the last, this year’s Europa League. Ange Postecoglou won it, then got sacked – just like the 16 managers before him.

Nobody ever doubted the acumen behind that thinking. When Levy took over, Spurs were a £48m-a-year business. Now, they are the world’s ninth richest club.
Nobody could have looked at Tottenham in 2001 and seriously imagined they would ever reach a Champions League final, or go toe-to-toe in two title races. Levy is no football populist but vowed in his first programme notes to “Make Tottenham Great Again”. As a phrase, it hasn’t aged well but there is no denying that they became a club who could no longer be ignored.

Except supporters like to watch football matches, not balance sheets, or cranes going up and down. Critics will say that Mauricio Pochettino was stumbled upon because Levy couldn’t appoint Louis van Gaal; that he interrupted the momentum of the Martin Jol years by pursuing Juande Ramos, a totally inadequate replacement.
As a custodian, and as a bulwark against the Premier League’s worst excesses, history may judge Daniel Levy with a little more kindness – but that will depend on where Tottenham go from here.
