“When I’m not here, I’m sure I’ll get the credit,” Levy said in his final interview as Tottenham chairman. Many supporters have got what they wanted but, in time, the big question will be whether Levy is proved right. Will fans really miss him when he's gone? Column: www.nytimes.com/athletic/659...

Five people have followed him from Brentford while there have been internal promotions and other external hires

So who are all these new faces and how will they complement each other?

Will Thomas Frank's Tottenham be less dependent on their star centre-backs?

My piece: www.nytimes.com/athletic/644...
How does Thomas Frank fix Spurs’ defence? And will Cristian Romero be part of the solution?
Tottenham have two elite central defenders but their injury records mean Frank needs to coax improvements from the entire defensive unit

Gomez curls in a brilliant fourth for Brighton but the home supporters respond with a rousing rendition of 'Oh when the Spurs'. Tottenham are going to finish 17th, as the worst of the rest, but fans making it clear they could not care less.
