Former Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy has spoken about his experience of watching Spurs this season and has revealed what he thinks about the club’s relegation battle.
Many Tottenham fans were delighted to see the back of Levy when he parted ways with the club back in September of last year after 24 years as the club’s chairman.
However, little would have the supporters guessed at that point that the Lilywhites would find themselves battling for survival in their first season without their former supremo at the helm.
The current Spurs hierarchy, headed by CEO Vinai Venkatesham, have made some poor decisions, not least the appointment of Igor Tudor, which has left the North Londoners at the risk of going down for the first time in nearly half a century.
