Tottenham Hotspur are a club on the rise, and have really impressed this season.
Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy
Spurs chairman Daniel Levy sat down for an exclusive interview with the Evening Standard, and discussed what will be an emotional farewell to White Hart Lane, when they host Manchester United on Sunday, whilst insisting that now is a great time to be a Tottenham fan.
The Lilywhites have enjoyed a relatively successful campaign domestically this term, despite their recent disappointing loss to West Ham United which essentially ended their title charge, and there is a genome feeling of optimism emanating from the club that they can go on to achieve great things under the guidance of Mauricio Pochettino.
The north London outfit are expected to make even further progress over the next few years, with their move to their new 61,000 capacity stadium in the pipeline.
The riches that will come along with that should enable Spurs to complete financially with Europe’s biggest clubs, and in turn, become a major force on the continent.
And Levy spoke to the Evening Standard about the exciting times ahead for Tottenham fans, whilst elaborating on his role at the club:

“It has been an immense journey and one that is far from over. Right now, it’s a great time to be a Spurs fan. I remember coming here with my uncle more than 50 years ago to watch my first game against QPR, wearing a huge rosette. It is hard to pick out one single memory as a favourite, as there have been so many. I’m always clear that we are merely the custodians of the club — it was here long before any of us and will be here long after us all. It is simply our turn to look after it, grow it and support it.”
Levy has received his fair share of criticism from some sections of the Spurs support during his tenure at the club, but one thing that he absolutely cannot be accused of is failure to do the best for the club from a financial aspect.
Despite this season failing to yield a trophy, Tottenham will desperately want to end their campaign on a high, and will particularly want to sign off with a victory in their final league game at White Hart Lane, after their 118 year stay at the famous old stadium.
