The Athletic FC Podcast · What If... Abramovich bought Spurs instead of Chelsea? · 6 Sep 2026 podcast

He would have got another brilliant young manager from somewhere.

I don't I don't know if it would have been Mourinho at that point.

I mean it would have probably would but who knows.

Well that's a really good question because it was so like throughout the you know, up until Daniel Levy's dismissal a year ago, it was often speculated that in the event of somebody buying the club, as in somebody buying out Eneck, um Daniel Levy might might stay on as uh e either as chairman or perhaps in a different role as a as chief executive for a new owner.

Obviously that never happened and and he was sat by the

Lewis family last year.

It did make me th it did make me think in this context, would he continue to to stay on and run Chelsea?

Because if you look at the story of Chelsea, Trevor Burch stayed on for a bit after Brandovich's takeover, and then he left kind of early on the following season, was r replaced by Peter Kenyon, who, you know, was sig came in from Manchester United.

That was a huge story at the time.

Um, I wonder if Levy might I'm I'm sure that Bramovich would want a degree of stability.

He wouldn't want to change everything.

Equally, he would want to largely to do things his way.

Yes, exactly.

And to have a chief executive who was aligned with him on how to run Tottenham.

Um so maybe under those circumstances, I would probably err on the side of Levy out rather than Levy in.

Yeah, well that that's a strange thing about the story of Enoch as well, actually, is that they have Tottenham have had very rich owners for a long time, right?

But Tottenham traditionally uh you know, through the two thousands and twenty tens, did not spend as much of their owners' money on players uh as they as they uh as Chelsea did, for example.

So I suspect that if Tottenham had been able to be really ambitious at that point and really start

start spending big money on players, it would have completely changed the feel around the club.

Sorry, w one other thing on if Abramovich had bought Tottenham is that maybe one advantage that he would have had owning Tottenham rather than owning Chelsea is his ability to do something with the stadium.
