Levy stranglehold weakens as Tottenham behind-the-scenes coup emerges
Daniel Levy has continued to come under criticism at Tottenham this season as they linger 14th in the Premier League table.
The chief has come under fire for a lack of investment into the side over a number of seasons including the winter transfer window where reinforcements were needed to cover injuries in the squad.
With the Europa League the only thing left to play for in north London this season, all eyes are on Levy with the expectation that he will move on another manager if his side doesn’t progress.
Tottenham have new behind-the-scenes appointment
Levy has made no secret of his desire to see change at The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with the chief looking for new investment in the club.
There have been a number of rumours around this subject throughout the campaign although supporters have met these with scepticism with fear that Levy is making his own stories.
Nevertheless, if there is to be positive change at Tottenham, it seems clear that new faces are needed and the owner seems to be on the same page.

It has been reported that the Lilywhites are set to appoint Vinai Venkatesham as their new chief executive in a new role that has been created.
Venkatesham left Arsenal in the summer after four years in the role with their rivals and will now look to have a positive impact at Spurs.
With Newcastle also looking to appoint the new chief executive, it seems Spurs must have offered him a tempting deal in order to secure his services.
Levy’s hold at Tottenham questioned
Having been criticised for his lack of investment, Levy took an opportunity to clap back at supporters recently and explain the situation he finds himself in at Tottenham.
Tottenham have seen their revenue fall for a number of years on the spin and having to settle for the Europa League rather than the Champions League this season did not help.
As it stands, Spurs could be looking towards the new campaign with no form of European football at all which could have big consequences.
Venkatesham is said to have overseen an annual revenue growth from £340million to £615million during his time at The Emirates, overseeing commercial, operational and sporting matters.
With this in mind, it does suggest that the new appointment is set to have a massive role in the future of the Lilywhites both on and off the pitch which could see Levy’s input reduced, having had the final say on everything up until this point.
For supporters who have been crying out for ambition for some time now, this could be very welcome news especially given his track record.
Changing the culture at Tottenham will no doubt be a project but with the summer transfer window fast approaching, this is an opportunity for the hierarchy to prove that new things are coming at Spurs.
