I am always slightly concerned that when you get rid of a chief executive and your man on the shop floor in the manager as well, that can create a void.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou only have to look at what happened at Man United \u2013 it wasn\u2019t just the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson; it was the fact that David Gill left at the same time. Also, as far as Ferguson was concerned, he was somewhat similar to Levy in that he ran the club as a personal fiefdom as far as the footballing side was concerned. There are similarities there.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe was very ably supported by Gill. When they left, Man United were a rudderless ship. It might be a bit different at Spurs because they have had a much more rotational policy as far as the manager was concerned. But at the board level, they will perhaps find that they underestimate just how many things that Levy was overseeing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Levy\u2019s exit had been in the pipeline for a long time<\/p>\n<p>According to reports, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.spurs-web.com\/spurs-news\/huge-update-reveals-daniel-levy-was-completely-blindsided-by-tottenham-sacking\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Levy was completely blindsided by ENIC\u2019s decision to remove him<\/a>, with the former Spurs chairman only finding out his fate hours before the club\u2019s public announcement.<\/p>\n<p>However, it has been claimed by some sources that <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.spurs-web.com\/spurs-news\/how-daniel-levy-felt-after-being-asked-to-leave-tottenham-after-24-years\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Levy\u2019s departure from Tottenham had been in the pipeline for many months<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, it is thought that <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.spurs-web.com\/spurs-news\/huge-update-reveals-daniel-levy-was-completely-blindsided-by-tottenham-sacking\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">the changes at the boardroom level, including the hiring of Venkatesham, were done with Levy\u2019s departure in mind<\/a> by the Lewis family.<\/p>\n<p>       Have something to tell us about this article?
