The chairman's departure has been in the works for a little while but has been kept quiet out of respect for everything Levy has done over the decades, which ended with the second trophy his tenure as Tottenham won the Europa League in May.
the Lewis family currently has no plans to sell the club and that is why they have been pushing through plans to alter the structure at Tottenham to become a more traditional, modern one with a CEO. While Levy was seen by many as a part owner running the club, the new direction is more one of the owners looking to back it rather than run it.
Vivienne Lewis is a regular presence at matches and was spotted alongside Levy in the opening day victory against Burnley. Her father Joe was the long-time owner of the club but the 88-year-old stepped away from that role years back and his children and grandchildren, as Spurs fans, are understood to have taken on a more active role in backing the club.
That backing has come through the injection of extra football knowledge with the addition of one of the game's most sought after CEOs in Venkatesham to lead the day to day running of Tottenham with new non-executive chairman Peter Charrington, who is not expected to be involved in the football side of things on a daily basis, overseeing the big picture following Levy's departure from his more hands-on role.
[Spurs] Naujienos
Tai visgi Levy buvo nuimtas. Gal ne atleistas kaip kad sakom apie trenerius, nes visgi 24 metai už vairo, bet vis tiek ne jo paties sprendimas.

Matt Law iš The Telegraph, tai priimkite tai su biški druskos:
Apsidžiaugiau pamatęs, kad bent kol kas pardavimo indikacijų nėra, nes nuo minčių apie investuotojus iš arabų šalių gali supykinti. Kad kažkokių pokyčių bus tai fachtas, įdomiausia kaip (ir ar) keisis transferų ir trenerių reikalai. Kaip ne kaip, čia yra didžiausias klubo pokytis nuo pat 2001 metų.

Plačiau: https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/arti ... qng2rj38doBBC Sport has been told that there is a sense from the Lewis family that success on the pitch has not been consistent enough over the years of Levy's reign.
Spurs have won two trophies during his 25 years at Spurs, the first being the League Cup in 2008.
The Lewis family are aware of some of the supporter discontent – much of it directed at Levy - that has engulfed the club in recent years.
Tavistock figurehead Joe Lewis, 88, is understood to have had a peripheral role in the decision for Levy to leave his post.
It is understood that younger generations of the family – Vivienne and Charlie, who are Joe's children – have been key in making the decision.
Vivienne has been particularly visible at Spurs in recent months. Nick Beucher - the grandson-in-law of Joe Lewis - has also taken a greater involvement.
BBC Sport understands all the hierarchical changes over the past few months have led to today's announcement.
It is understood the role of executive chairman will be removed with a view to modernising the board's structure.
The Lewis family have been at the forefront of those changes, including the decision regarding Levy.
Levy will remain a shareholder of Enic but will cease to have any direct involvement with the club.
The share structure of Enic will remain unchanged.
The Lewis' initiated a thorough external review of Tottenham's operation earlier this year, and well-placed sources told BBC Sport that followed a number of concerns from the Tavistock Group.
The financial operation of the club was among the areas reviewed.
It is also understood the ownership made a significant investment into the club over the past few months which has helped Spurs in the transfer market.
The review also resulted in the aforementioned board changes, including the appointments of Charrington and Venkatesham.

Mano nuomonė: Succession vaibelis dvelkia, nori to ar nenoriTottenham did not comment when contacted by Telegraph Sport over Levy’s departure and the Gibb River review. A source close to the Lewis family said: “Generations of the Lewis family support this special football club and they want what the fans want – more wins more often. This is why you have seen recent changes, new leadership and a fresh approach. In Vinai, Thomas [Frank] and Peter Charrington, they believe they are backing the right team to deliver on this. This is a new era.”
Apsidžiaugiau pamatęs, kad bent kol kas pardavimo indikacijų nėra, nes nuo minčių apie investuotojus iš arabų šalių gali supykinti. Kad kažkokių pokyčių bus tai fachtas, įdomiausia kaip (ir ar) keisis transferų ir trenerių reikalai. Kaip ne kaip, čia yra didžiausias klubo pokytis nuo pat 2001 metų.
Lewis family this, Lewis family that...
Visa ta klubo transformacija įvyko ne Lewis family, o Levy dėka. Ne iš Lewis family fundavimo, o iš klubo generuojamų pajamų, banko paskolų ir t.t. Galima ginčytis, kad geriausias CEO PL istorijoj.

Indikacijų tarsi nėra, bet..

tl;dr - klubas oficialiai atmetė du susidomėjimus, iš kurių vienas (PCP) yra vedamas ex-Newcastle moters Amanda Staveley. Ta pati, kur trindavosi Newcastle tribūnose po jų nupirkimo. Net nesuprasi iš kur tiksliai per ją keliauja pinigai, nes yra dirbusi ir su Kataru, ir su UAE, ir su Saudi.The Board of Tottenham Hotspur Limited (“Tottenham Hotspur”, the “Club” or the “Company”) is aware of recent media speculation and confirms that its majority shareholder, ENIC Sports & Developments Holdings Ltd (“ENIC”), has received, and unequivocally rejected, separate preliminary expressions of interest in relation to proposals to acquire the entire issued, and to be issued, share capital of ENIC from (i) PCP International Finance Limited (“PCP”); and (ii) a consortium of investors led by Dr. Roger Kennedy and Wing-Fai Ng through Firehawk Holdings Limited (the “Consortium”). As a consequence of ENIC’s majority ownership interest in Tottenham Hotspur, were any offer made to acquire ENIC and complete, a mandatory offer would be required under Rule 9 of the Code to acquire the shares of Tottenham Hotspur not already held by ENIC.
The Board of the Club and ENIC confirm that Tottenham Hotspur is not for sale and ENIC has no intention to accept any such offer to acquire its interest in the Club.
Tai dabar atseit pagal taisykles, jei jau išreiškei susidomėjimą, privalai pateikt savo bidą iki spalio kažkelintos, bet spauda sako, kad šiandien išeis pranešimas jog ji klubo pirkti nebandys. Jeigu abu susidomėjimai atmesti, tai gal čia labiau suprantantys paaiškins, ar klubas čia iš tikro neparduodamas, ar visgi čia kaip transferuose, netiesiogiai sakoma kad reikia daugiau pinigų.
Neramūs laikai
Dar vienas gandas apie planus pirkti Tottenhamą. Šį kart iš kažkokio Brooklyn Earick, kuris neva subūrė grupę ir ruošia 4.5 milijardo svarų takeoverį.
Kadangi rašo visokie Mirror ir co, tai plėstis nėra tikslo, bet pati suma (ar ankstesnės sumos) suponuoja, kad net jeigu perpirkimas įvyktų šiais metais, mokama suma jau dabar būtų didesnė, nei Boehly mokėjo už Chelsea (4.25mlrd). Įspūdingi skaičiai
