- Former Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy was awarded a CBE on Wednesday by the Prince of Wales at Windsor Castle for his extensive services to charity and the community in Tottenham.
- Levy, who departed his role after nearly 25 years in September, expressed profound surprise and disbelief regarding Tottenham's current Premier League relegation battle, stating he "never, no, not in a million years" anticipated such a struggle during his time overseeing the club.
- Despite Tottenham being just two points above the Premier League drop zone with a mere 38 points from 36 games this season, Levy conveyed a feeling of "emptiness" but maintained optimism that the club would successfully avoid relegation.
- The Premier League's longest-serving chairman acknowledged criticisms from fans that he prioritised the club's business interests over on-pitch success, admitting he had hoped to win more silverware, specifically the Premier League and Champions League, during his tenure.
- Levy confirmed his intention to continue attending Tottenham matches, citing that the club is "in my blood”, and shared a light-hearted exchange with Prince William, an Aston Villa fan, where he thanked him for Villa's recent defeat to Tottenham and received good wishes for Spurs to remain in the top flight.
