Spent a lot of time this week watching videos and clips of him. There's a reason he's heading to Tottenham for a record fee for the League of Ireland.

Daniel Levy from 2001 to 2017 was, for me unquestionably, one of the best chairmen in football. Ran Spurs exactly the way a football club of that size ought to have been.
2018 to present a different story and itโs, belatedly, the right time for change. Foundations are all there.
"Micky van der Ven already said 'We need you, so come here.' And that's what happened. My sister is 11; she's more focused on other things than football, but she really loved Spurs' stadium. I'm looking forward to playing against the best players in the world in that stadium."

Interesting interview with Xavi Simons where he admits part of Thomas Frank's pitch was effectively telling him what his weaknesses were and how they could work to improve his game.
"I heard different things from him than I've heard from other coaches."

Before we turn the page on Ange Postecoglou's Tottenham chapter, I wanted to write this.
Every Spurs fan has their own unique story, their own journey with the Aussie. This, from fearing for my life to living it with my dad, is mine.

I've had the pleasure of watching Harry Kane's entire career to this point up close, and the journey has been special.
Nobody remembers a player's trophy count after the tally reaches one. Now, Kane is free to build his legacy without caveat.
Long read on a legend:
