It’s very rare that Tottenham fans find themselves singling out Daniel Levy for praise, but this is certainly one of those occasions. The Lilywhites have loved life so far in their brand new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, yet the naming rights have yet to be sold.
A piece on how Spurs and Daniel Levy have been clever over their decision-making when it comes to stadium naming rights and the enormous price they will be able to ask for. https://t.co/T1PxHlxuEc

As opposed to that being just a slow mover on the front of the club, the fact that the club is yet to sell the naming rights instead looks to be a tactical masterclass from Daniel Levy, the club’s chairman who was personally responsible for the construction of the new ground, as explained by Alasdair Gold.
It looks like the Spurs chairman has instead held off of selling the rights to the ground and has instead put it on the back burners, waiting for a few NFL games to take place in North London to ramp up the interest from across the pond, which seems to have worked wonderfully given the rave reviews that have been coming in after the Oakland Raiders ‘hosted’ the Chicago Bears.

DL model built around the American model & fan experience! Won’t be surprised if they sold the naming rights to an American company! DL loves going to the !

I don’t think much of levy’s decision making regarding the stadium can be criticised, but it’s premature to call the delay on the naming rights a success. We have nothing secured, with every passing season a loss on actual revenue and now the very real risk of no CL next yr

Whatever people’s opinions are of Mr Daniel Levy, and I know that these are varied- he has delivered a world class stadium and the solid foundation for this Club to continue for years to come. January will be massive for this Club as we look to find the talent to grace this stage

The supporters have been raving over Levy, something that doesn’t happen very often, and it’s certainly justified this time.
