A new report has shed light on how Vinai Venkatesham’s arrival will affect Daniel Levy’s role and influence at Tottenham, and many Spurs fans will not be pleased with the update.
Tottenham’s appointment of Vinai Venkatesham came out of the blue, with the club announcing out of nowhere a couple of days ago that he will join as their new CEO at the end of the season.
It remains to be seen how Venkatesham’s arrival will affect the role of senior Spurs figures such as Scott Munn and Johan Lange.
Reacting to the news, one Tottenham fan group welcomed the appointment and called for transparency on how this will affect Levy’s role, but they will not be happy to hear what has now been reported on the matter.
How Vinai Venkatesham’s arrival will affect Daniel Levy at Tottenham
The Telegraph have now claimed that the appointment of Vinai Venkatesham as Tottenham CEO has shocked a number of figures across the Premier League.
Many rival clubs are thought to be surprised that Spurs would hire an ex-Arsenal chief in such a prominent role as well as the timing of the announcement.
Interestingly, the outlet says that Venkatesham’s arrival is not expected to see Levy give up any control of Tottenham.
MORE SPURS STORIES
The publication adds that to the contrary, the 44-year-old’s appointment is seen by many inside the game as a move by the Spurs chairman to strengthen his position.
Protests continue against Daniel Levy and Tottenham owners
If this update is true, it will not please a lot of Tottenham supporters, who have made it clear how they feel about the club’s chairman.
In fact just last week, thousands of Spurs fans marched in unison calling for Levy to leave, which is the third major protest of this kind we have seen this season.
While Tottenham fans may have been open-minded to the arrival of Vinai Venkatesham, hearing the appointment could solidify Daniel Levy’s position will not be popular.
