Daniel Levy Says Tottenham Can Avoid Relegation After 25 Years

daniel levy said he is optimistic Tottenham Hotspur will avoid relegation from the Premier League after leaving the club in September 2025. The former executive chairman’s remarks land against a relegation battle, with his own exit after 25 years still fresh.

Levy and Tottenham Hotspur

Levy said he was “optimistic that the club will avoid relegation from the Premier League,” offering a direct view on Tottenham’s position rather than a cautious holding line. He left his role at Tottenham Hotspur after 25 years in September 2025, closing a long spell at the club before the current pressure around the bottom of the table.

That statement gives supporters a clear read on where he sees the club now. Levy is not describing a finished rescue job; he is saying Tottenham can still get out of the relegation fight.

Honoured and proud

He also said he is “honoured and proud” to be made a CBE for his services to charity and the community. That recognition sits alongside the football story, but it is separate from Tottenham’s league position and from the question of whether the club can stay up.

The contrast is sharp: one part of Levy’s week is ceremonial, the other is about survival in the Premier League. His words on relegation are the only public read here on how he sees the situation, and they leave Tottenham with a straightforward message rather than a softened one.

Premier League pressure

For Tottenham, the practical issue is the table. Levy’s optimism does not change the numbers on the pitch, but it does show that a former chairman who spent 25 years at the club thinks the current position is recoverable.

That leaves the club’s response where it belongs — in results. Levy has already moved on from his role, but his view on relegation now sits as one more marker of how serious the battle has become for Tottenham Hotspur.
