Tottenham fans have been less than impressed with Daniel Levy as of late.
Things are still far from rosy in North London, with Spurs left with a lot of work to do before the Premier League campaign gets underway in less than two weeks.
James Maddison’s latest injury blow has amplified the need for another midfield arrival, while the performance of Mathys Tel against Newcastle showcased the need for attacking reinforcements.
A lot of the recent failures fall at the feet of Levy, who seems to have completely missed the point of the protests over the years.
What did Levy say about Tottenham protests?
Anyone with an ounce of an idea as to what has been going on at Tottenham will be fully aware that the recent protests have been aimed at Levy because of the way he has been running the club.
MORE SPURS STORIES
Spurs haven’t really invested much in the squad over the last few years, and that has been apparent with the recent league finishes.
However, when discussing the protests via The Overlap (4 August), Levy seemed to completely deflect the blame from himself, despite quite clearly knowing why supporters are angered.
He said: “Of course it hurts, but their pain is also my pain. I want to win, and when we’re not playing well, and we’re not winning, believe me, I suffer as well.”
The “pain” he describes isn’t a consequence of the results; it is a consequence of the lack of investment and poor decision-making that has ultimately led to such poor results.
Thomas Frank needs to see more from Levy
If Thomas Frank is going to succeed, he needs to be backed in the market.
As of right now, that hasn’t been the case, with the arrival of Mohammed Kudus the only one that has moved the needle in North London.
Time is running out for Levy to right his wrongs.
