Staff inside Spurs were left stunned by Levy's departure after 24 years as chairman following a shakeup instigated by the Lewis family, who run ENIC, the company that owns the club.

The new powers-that-be behind Tottenham are siblings Vivienne and Charles Lewis, the children of former Spurs owner Joe Lewis, alongside Nick Beucher, who is married to Vivienne's daughter Joanna.

Frank was among those left shocked by the exit of Levy but has already received reassurance from the owners, who are expected to invest in the team.
