Daniel Levy believes his impact at Tottenham Hotspur will only be fairly judged once he is gone

Tottenham's Levy: Legacy Will Shine Brighter After I'm Gone

Chairman Claims Stadium Construction His Greatest Achievement, Points to Global Recognition

Daniel Levy, the longest-serving chairman in Premier League history, believes his true impact on Tottenham Hotspur will only be recognized after he steps down. The 63-year-old, who has led the club since 2001, made this statement during an interview with Gary Neville on The Overlap.

Levy acknowledged that while opinions about him are divided among fans, he is proud of his legacy, particularly the construction of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in 2019.

"I think it’s one of those situations – when I’m not here I’m sure I’ll get the credit," Levy said. "When you come here and look at this wonderful building...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."

He considers the stadium his greatest achievement, calling it "a symbol of Tottenham Hotspur on the global map" and highlighting its positive economic impact on the local community.

A Stadium Built for Innovation:

The multi-purpose stadium boasts a unique retractable football pitch, revealing a synthetic turf field beneath for NFL games, concerts, and other events. This innovative design generates substantial income and creates jobs in the surrounding area.

Levy's vision extends beyond the sporting arena, with Tottenham currently seeking a naming rights sponsor for the stadium. Reports indicate they are holding out for a record-breaking deal worth around £25 million per annum for 15 years, with a Saudi Arabian entity considered the frontrunner.
