Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy has come in for a tidal wave of stick in the last couple of weeks. And let’s face it, he’s brought it upon himself.
A fortnight ago, and six days before a cup final, Levy sacked a manager that he’d brought in 18 months prior on a reported £15million-a-year contract. The day before that high-cost sacking, he’d thrown Spurs’ hat into the Super League ring without so much as asking whether the fans wanted their club – theirs, not his – to be part of it.
But let’s, just for a second, distribute a bit of credit where it’s due. Last summer, Levy recruited the last component part of Spurs’ attacking jigsaw, repatriating a club hero in Gareth Bale who appeared to fit perfectly – and pretty bloody expensively – into the Tottenham attack alongside Dele Alli, Son Heung-min and Gareth Bale. It was a starter kit ready for a progressive coach to assemble.
Unfortunately for Levy, his previous mistake – employing that £15million-a-year manager – meant he didn’t have a progressive coach.
