When Daniel Levy will look to step aside at Tottenham as fan protests take their toll
Tottenham Hotspur aren’t exactly in the greatest of places at the minute, with the team languishing in the lower reaches of the Premier League table and out of both domestic cups.
💦Although Spurs remain in contention for the Europa League, there hasn’t really been all that much to celebrate among fans in recent years.
Tottenham🔴 last won a major trophy in 2008, when they lifted the League Cup, and their second-to-last trophy – the same competition – came in 1999.
Over the years, Spurs chairman Daniel Levy𝐆 has often found himself the subject of criticism and protests by fans for his running of the club.
🥃Now, a report has emerged detailing what Levy thinks of the fan protests and when he’ll aim to step aside at Tottenham.
Daniel Levy will step aside when he feels it is right for Tottenham amid ‘hurt’ from protests
♒According to , who say they’ve spoken to sources at Tottenham, the protests are “hurting” Levy, who attends almost every game. He is also hurt by how results are going.
🍒Rather than hiding away and not attending games, he has opted to sit through the “Levy out” chants and criticism, added the report.
♐And with regards to his future, Levy will reportedly step aside when he feels it is right for Spurs and “every option is open” for different future ownership structures.
🐭There is also an acceptance that Tottenham have not always spent well in the market, but at the same time, there’s a belief that recent managers have been backed financially.
ꦓIn addition, sources who have worked with Levy reportedly said he does not communicate well enough and suggest the executive team are too similar, hence occasional “own goals” on policies.
What sources said about working with Daniel Levy
ꦉBBC Sport cited club insiders as saying Levy is a “shy, quiet and hard-working” individual who “loves the club” and is affected by fan criticism.
🐽Another source said Levy has the potential to be “very ruthless” but “genuinely wishes the best for Spurs”.
🧔It has also been said that the idea Levy does not care because he rarely shows emotion is “nonsense”.
🧸A source said Levy is unrelenting, working “crazy” hours – which can be tough and tiring for colleagues – and always wanting more – another thing which risks grating with those who don’t like that leadership style.
ꩵHowever, there was also acknowledgement among sources that there have been some “own goals” at Tottenham and those are partly because Levy does not “surround himself with the best people”.
