Daniel Levy: ‘There’s a lot of people at Tottenham hanging their hats on 10 games’

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy faces immense pressure from fans to sell the club as frustrations continue to mount over the team’s struggles this season.

Supporters have grown increasingly discontent with the lack of progress under Ange Postecoglou, particularly after disappointing performances and inconsistent results.

Expectations were high after last season, but the club has failed to meet them, leaving fans demanding change. With exits from both the EFL Cup and FA Cup in quick succession, Tottenham’s only realistic chance of silverware now lies in the Europa League. This has only added to the calls for Levy to step aside, as many believe his leadership has prevented the club from reaching its full potential.

Recent weeks have seen protests from fans who are tired of watching their club fall short of major trophies. The frustration stems from a long history of near-misses and unfulfilled promises, with Tottenham struggling to establish itself as a dominant force in English football.

Financial expert Stefan Borson has suggested that any potential investor looking to acquire the club would likely insist on Levy stepping down as part of the takeover deal.

The sentiment within the club seems to be that a successful 10-game stretch from last season represents what could be achieved with a fully fit squad. However, such a short period of good form is hardly enough to convince fans that the team is on the right track.

Despite the growing backlash, some believe Levy deserves credit for his willingness to make bold decisions regarding managerial appointments. Former Tottenham goalkeeper Paul Robinson has pointed out that Levy has never shied away from hiring high-profile managers, even if the results have not always been successful.

The appointment of Nuno Espírito Santo, for example, turned out to be a mistake, but his track record outside of Tottenham suggests he was a reasonable choice at the time. Levy also brought in José Mourinho and Antonio Conte—both proven winners—hoping they could deliver immediate success.

However, without the necessary backing in the transfer market, even the best managers struggled to turn Tottenham into genuine title contenders.

Tottenham’s recruitment strategy has been a point of contention for years. While the club’s recent transfer window focused on signing young, high-potential players, many believe that this approach does not align with the expectations of a fanbase hungry for trophies.

Investing in future stars is important, but it does little to address the immediate need for a squad capable of competing at the highest level. The inconsistency in managerial appointments has also been a problem, with managers often dismissed as soon as fan pressure intensifies.

This reactive approach has created instability, making it difficult for any long-term project to succeed.

One of the biggest concerns among fans is that the club appears to be relying too heavily on the success of a short spell last season. While the team’s performances during that period were promising, they are not enough to justify a lack of urgency in addressing the current issues.

Tottenham boasts world-class facilities, including a state-of-the-art stadium and training ground, but what happens on the pitch has yet to match the club’s infrastructure. Until Spurs can consistently challenge for top honors, the frustration among supporters will only continue to grow.

Ange Postecoglou now finds himself under significant pressure to turn things around. The first half of the season has been disappointing, with Spurs struggling for consistency and slipping into the bottom half of the Premier League table.

While injuries have played a role in the team’s struggles, patience is wearing thin. Postecoglou is reportedly being given one final chance to prove himself once key players return to fitness. The expectation is that once he has a full squad at his disposal, results must improve significantly.

Current Premier League Standings

With Tottenham sitting outside the European spots and struggling to find consistency, Postecoglou’s position remains uncertain.

Robinson has suggested that he will be given one last opportunity to prove himself once the squad is fully fit. However, if results do not improve, the club could be forced to make yet another managerial change.

The ongoing uncertainty surrounding Tottenham raises serious questions about the club’s direction. Fans want to see their team competing for silverware, but the current situation suggests that the club is still far from achieving that goal.

Whether it is through a managerial change, new investment, or even a complete ownership overhaul, something needs to change for Spurs to fulfill their potential. The coming months will be crucial in determining the future of both Postecoglou and Levy, as Tottenham faces a defining period in its history.
