Richard Keys outraged by 'madness' Daniel Levy caused with 'badly wrong' decision
Daniel Levy has not been out of his Tottenham role long, but there has been a raft of reaction to his departure.
It is fair to say that the reaction has been mixed, with some suggesting that Levy was responsible for poor signings at Spurs.
However, some have offered the 63-year-old significant praise, with former Tottenham players commending Levy for the business side of things.
Now, Richard Keys has delivered a damning assessment of something the former chairman did during his 24-year reign.
Richard Keys slams Daniel Levy for Jose Mourinho moment
Life after Levy is already looking promising, with Tottenham delivering some eye-catching performances under Thomas Frank.
With talk of a potential takeover and further on-field success, there could be a lasting feeling of positivity after the chairman's departure.
Looking back, it is fair to say that the 63-year-old did deliver some substantial change during his time at the North London club.
- Spurs moved from White Hart Lane to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
- They reached the Champions League final
- The Lilywhites have one of the highest revenues in European football
However, Keys has criticised one particular moment during his tenure, which would be hard to argue against.
"I know few Spurs fans will be shedding tears for him, but I think he’ll be missed," Keys said via his online blog on Monday.
"Yes - he was tight. Yes - sometimes he got it badly wrong. Sacking Mourinho in the week of a cup final was madness, but on the plus side, Levy was a Spurs fan and cared about the club."
Did Daniel Levy stop Tottenham from winning another trophy?
When the former chairman sacked Mourinho, it was less than a week before their Carabao Cup final with Man City.
At the time, Pep Guardiola's side were certainly favourites, but the one slither of hope was their manager.
Spurs' form heading into the clash was not great, and they had won just one of their previous six.
In the end, it was up to Ryan Mason to try and win an unlikely trophy, but he fell to a 1-0 defeat courtesy of a late Aymeric Laporte goal.
In truth, Tottenham would have been hard-pressed to land a victory, but with Mourinho at the helm, they at least had a sniff.
If Levy has any regrets from his time in North London, then that decision would surely be near the top.
