Daniel’s legacy is, evidently, the construction of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, widely recognized as one of the best football stadiums in the world, as well as related infrastructure, such as the training ground.<\/p>THST<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\nThe construction of a stadium of this magnitude in the urban heart of Tottenham was a significant achievement. Although some miss the more intimate atmosphere of White Hart Lane, the THS (Tottenham Hotspur Stadium) was necessary for Tottenham Hotspur to compete at the highest European level. Daniel’s vision and leadership in delivering the stadium are appreciated.\n\nHowever, the focus on the costs and profitability needed to complete the stadium did not benefit the club on the field.\n\nIn the annual surveys, members and other respondents valued the club’s development off the field, but desired a greater focus on football. The victory in the Europa League was welcome, but it was the second trophy in Daniel’s 24-year tenure.\n\nThe lack of progress under Mauricio Pochettino and after the inauguration of the THS was a missed opportunity, reflecting an approach, particularly in the transfer market, that was too cautious and focused on extracting monetary value rather than addressing the weaknesses evident to all.\n\nGenuine fan participation wasn’t something that came naturally to Daniel. Although there was a commitment on paper, in practice this often meant informing fans of the club’s plans with little notice.\n\nGreater involvement could have prevented errors such as the proposed move to Stratford, the European Super League, the furloughing of staff during the pandemic, and the reduction of season ticket concessions for season ticket holders.\n\n

\"Daniel<\/figure>\n\nDaniel’s departure represents a shift in leadership towards the interests of the Lewis family.\n\nThis also provides the opportunity for more meaningful engagement with fans; there has already been an encouraging start under new CEO Vinai Venkatesham. The Trust will continue to play a constructive role in the engagement process and fulfill its function as a critical friend of the club.\n\nThe club is currently in fourth position in the table after three matchdays in the new season. Their next match is against West Ham on September 13th.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
