The most stingy boss in the Premier League - Levi resigned! You can say that he doesn t understand football, but he is the smartest businessman

When Daniel Levi officially announced his resignation as Tottenham chairman, the entire football world was shocked. After being in charge of Tottenham for nearly 25 years, this hailed as "the most stingy chairman of the Premier League" has finally left the kingdom he has created. Some people applauded and thought that he restricted Tottenham's development; some people lamented that it was Levi's ability to settle accounts that allowed Tottenham to gain a foothold in the torrent of modern football's money. Both merits and mistakes are due to Levi.

Levi's merit: The founder of Tottenham's business empire

has to admit that Levi is a real businessman. He is well aware that football clubs are not only players and games, but also the operation of capital and assets. In 25 years, he has transformed Tottenham from a mid-range London team to one of the top giant clubs in the Premier League and even Europe.

White Hart Lane to New White Hart Lane: He spent money to build a new stadium - Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, which is now known as one of the most modern home courts in England, bringing huge commercial revenue.

The budget-oriented transfer market: Levi was teased by fans as "stingy", but the fact is that he can often buy potential players at a lower price and then sell at highs, such as Bale and Modric, which made Tottenham profitable.

Adhere to financial stability: When many Premier League clubs are in debt crisis due to excessive money burning, Tottenham has almost no financial crisis, which is closely related to Levi's iron-blooded control.

Last season, Tottenham not only defeated Manchester United in the UEFA Cup final, but also eventually won the long-lost championship trophy and returned to the Champions League, and even bought several strong players in the transfer market this summer. For Levi, this is undoubtedly a "full curtain call".

Levi's past: The boss who doesn't understand football

However, if Tottenham's transcript is taken out, Levi's critics have enough reason to accuse him.

Lack of football vision: Levi is more like a businessman than a footballer. He repeatedly tried and missed coach selection and personnel selection, from Pochettino, Mourinho, Conte to countless temporary coaches, frequent replacements have led to the lack of stability in the team.

Overconservative transfer strategy: Although financially healthy, fans often complain that he missed many opportunities for reinforcement. Tottenham is always "one step away", either spending less money but failing to win the target player, or being stingy in investment at critical moments.

Lack of real top honors: In addition to occasional breakthroughs in the Cup, Tottenham has always been a "runner" in the Premier League and Champions League. Even if he reached the Champions League final in 2019, he could not go further due to insufficient investment.

Levi is a successful businessman, but never completely became the helm of a successful football player.

After Levi left office, Tottenham's future direction is worthy of fun.

On the one hand, fans may usher in more investment in funds, especially if Saudi capital is really injected, then Tottenham may be able to get rid of the "stingy" label and truly move towards the champion giants. On the other hand, without Levi's shrewd abacus, Tottenham may also lose its solid style in the modern football economy.

Levi's legacy is not only a modern stadium and a healthy financial account, but also a management philosophy: it is better to be the "most stingy boss in the Premier League" than to let the club fall into the financial quagmire.

Levi is a merit or a fault? The answer may be divided into two dimensions. For Tottenham fans, he is often a barrier to his dreams, allowing the champion to pass by again and again; but in the eyes of capital, he is a genius businessman who builds a mid-range club into an international enterprise.

After winning the long-lost championship and leaving a complete business territory, Levi's resignation can be said to be "lose regrets, but not disappointing." Tottenham in the future may become more bold and dangerous. But one thing is certain: regardless of praise or criticism, Levi's name has been deeply engraved in Tottenham's history.
