Telegraph: Lewis family will watch West Ham vs Tottenham Hotspur on-site, new management aims at major trophy

According to the Telegraph, Tottenham entered the post-Levi era, and members of the Lewis family made public appearances to show their strength. Tottenham will usher in the public debut of members of the Lewis family in Levi’s first game since Levi stepped down.

It is understood that members of the Lewis family are expected to go to West Ham on Saturday to watch Tottenham Hotspur’s first game since Levi stepped down as chairman. The London derby will be televised, and the presence of Lewis family members in front of the camera will be seen as a significant signal, especially after events that have occurred in the past five days. After Levi left, Tottenham had rejected Amanda Staveli and a Chinese consortium's acquisition intention for the club. A source close to the Lewis family and CEO Vinay Venkatsham said: "The club is not for sale."

The Lewis family described Levi's departure as the beginning of a "new era" and they have completely taken control of Tottenham and have put sports success in the top spot. In his nearly 25 years of presidential career, Levi has attended almost all Tottenham Hotspur games. His absence at West Ham United, coupled with the presence of members of the Lewis family, will provide visual confirmation of the transfer of power.

Joe Lewis' daughter Vivian sat next to Levi in ​​the first game of the season against Burnley, while her brother Charles has been increasingly active at the club over the past few months, and son-in-law Nick will be more involved. Vincartsham, who is responsible for the daily operations of Tottenham after Levi's departure, will appear at the London Stadium with members of the Lewis family.

The Lewis family commissioned Vincartsham to personally reiterate the message "everything is normal" to head coach Thomas Frank, and stressed their desire to win more trophys.

Venkatsham: "We saw the direction of the next step in Bilbao in May. The next step is to compete and ultimately win a major trophy. We have tasted it. It's better than you think, you'll crave more, and it's what everyone in the club desires, more of these nights."

"I know the Lewis family very well. They are very passionate about Tottenham and ambitious about the club. Their focus is to make sure that everything we do is focus on giving our men's and women's teams the best chance of success. Their focus is on stability, they know the club The club has undergone many changes, and it is time to calm down and stabilize. "

" The next generation of the family has a high attention to the club. Vivian Lewis often plays Tottenham and often joins our pre-season tour. She participated in our tours throughout the summer this summer. In the future, you will see more of her brother, Charlie and her son-in-law, Nick. What connects them is the enthusiasm for Tottenham and the ambition for the club. "

The Daily Telegraph reported last week that Levi's departure will be accompanied by more than £100 million investment through the Lewis family and ENIC.

Venkatsham: "It can be said that we have the firm support of the Lewis family for our goals of success, both in the men's and women's teams. They know that it requires investment, and we have the firm support of them. But we have to make sure that financial rules are followed, which means we need to continue to increase revenue, continue to develop players from the youth camp, and buy young players. We also need to make sure that players are sold at the right time. Every time we recruit players, we need to make informed decisions. , both from a sports perspective and a financial perspective. If you don't do this, you may find yourself having money to spend, but the rules don't allow you to spend. "

" In short, there is absolutely financial support to achieve our ambitions, and like other clubs, we need to do that within the financial rules."

Since the Daily Telegraph first disclosed the operations and sports reviews conducted by Gib River Consulting, the Lewis family has made a series of changes at the club, which ultimately led to Levi's departure.

Venkatsham added: "Looking forward is very important, it is a new era under new leadership, with full support from the Lewis family, the major shareholder. Therefore, we can feel optimistic and ambitious about the future."
