Daniel Levy chance to hit back at Tottenham, everyone apparently ‘hates him’
Tottenham are preparing themselves for the Europa League final against Manchester United.
It has been a disastrous season in north London, but Ange Postecoglou has taken his side all the way in Europe, seeing off Bodo/Glimt in the semi-finals.
Although there is the opportunity to get their hands on silverware, supporters will need to see a lot more change before feeling happier with the direction of the club.
Daniel Levy himself has come under plenty of criticism for his role in Spurs’ failure, with seasons’ worth of little investment taking its toll.
Simon Jordan praises Levy after Europa League announcement
The Europa League final means a lot for both teams who are competing, due to the similarities in their seasons.
Both the Lilywhites and the Red Devils have been well below the expected levels this season and linger at the bottom of the Premier League table, just above the relegation zone.
| Team | Position | Goal Difference | Points |
| Manchester United | 16 | -11 | 39 |
| Tottenham | 17 | 4 | 38 |
Therefore, the opportunity of Champions League football would be a saving grace for either, significantly boosting their opportunities to attract players in the summer.
Manchester United chief Sir Jim Ratcliffe has come under criticism ahead of the final in Bilbao because of his decision not to give the members of staff at Old Trafford a free ticket to the final.
Levy, on the other hand, has made the gesture at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Speaking about the situation live on talkSPORT (14 May, 11:11 am), Simon Jordan argued that this should earn the Spurs owner some credit, as he said: ” Fair play. Everybody hates Daniel apparently, and he’s a mean-spirited skinflint, and this might be an opportunity to suggest to other people that he’s not.
“That he values the people, the people that work for him, and he values the football club full stop.”
Tottenham need a lot more convincing from Levy
Giving free tickets to staff members is a good gesture from Levy and something he should be credited for.
However, it’s not enough to just reverse all of the mismanagement at Tottenham throughout the seasons he has been in charge and if he truly cares, supporters need to see a lot more from him.
There have been appointments upstairs at Tottenham of late that suggest that Levy is willing to give up some of his power, to take advice on how to bring success to Spurs, which is a positive sign.
This summer will be crucial, though, and regardless of whether his side wins the Europa League or not, the owner has to be prepared to put money in and turn the fortunes around.
