Levy always has the long game in mind. The very biggest part of that long game has been completed...
The golden goose of N17 has been built...whether it lays again this year, next year, it doesn't matter, it will lay and keep laying forever and a day.
Short term he wanted to back Mourinho (he kinda had to really,just to keep his dream appointment sweet) but he knows that it's only covid stopping wheelbarrows of money coming into the club, literally nothing else is in our way. It's Levy speculating to a degree but Levy would have taken everything into consideration.
I don't agree with Levy though that it couldn't of come at a worse time. The stadium 6months from completion and the debt not refinanced, would have been a lot worse.
