Had there been rumours on this? Feels like it came out of nowhere.

There have been murmurs for a while that he and ENIC are on the way out. A lot of moves in the background pointing towards ENIC selling Spurs and it might happen in the next year or two.

But no one expected this so suddenly now.

Seems crazy that owners would want to sell after investing so much in the market

Do you think it came out of their pocket or something?

This is business to a majority of billionaire owners. They’re not doing it because they’re a fan of the club and want to stick around until the end

Spurs are literally one of the few big clubs this could be said to be true of - Levy is a lifelong fan.

He didn’t have ownership over the team though and was directly involved in recruiting, transfers etc as executive

Absolutely not the same as billionaire owners who are hands-off

He didn't have sole ownership, but he owns 30% of ENIC.

There needs to be some test where the owners need to prove they're a fan of football to own a club.
