Tottenham set to make ‘ludicrous’ decision as Levy sympathy emerges
Daniel Levy is in the spotlight once again as Tottenham look to kickstart their summer.
Other Premier League clubs have already launched into action, taking advantage of the transfer window opening early by strengthening their squads with marquee signings.
Tottenham have secured Kevin Danso on a permanent deal from Lens following his arrival on loan in the winter transfer window, but are yet to bring in any new faces to North London.
Levy has reshuffled some of the pieces within the Spurs hierarchy, but questions over the manager and playing squad still loom over the club.
Ange Postecoglou’s dismissal would be ‘ludicrous’
Tottenham were in a state of jubilation following their Europa League victory, and should be cautiously optimistic this summer about the potential of their young squad.
The overhanging uncertainty over Ange Postecoglou’s future is curtailing their positivity, with Levy remaining typically tight-lipped on the subject.
| Season | Games | Wins | Draws | Losses |
| 2024/24 | 60 | 26 | 8 | 26 |
| 2023/24 | 41 | 21 | 6 | 14 |
The Spurs chairman has been trying to weigh up the fact that the Australian carried the North London club to their greatest moment in a generation against guiding the team to their lowest ever league finish.
Rory Jennings, speaking live on talkSPORT (4 June), admitted he had sympathy for Levy, but did not believe sacking the former Celtic manager would ultimately be the right call.
“I genuinely feel quite sorry for Daniel Levy here because I feel like he’s damned if he does and damned is he doesn’t,” he said.
“Realistically, if he were to sack the manager that brought European silverware to Tottenham, brought Tottenham their first trophy in 18 years, brought Tottenham their first European trophy for 42 years, it would be ludicrous.”
Jennings then dismissed the situation as similar to Manchester United’s last season with Erik ten Hag, claiming it could be more akin to their noisy neighbours lifting the FA Cup in 2011.
“Sometimes winning silverware does change the fortunes of your club, and I believe that Ange Postecoglou deserves the opportunity to see if it could be the birth of their new team,” he concluded.
Levy stunting Tottenham’s preparation for next season
Postecoglou has two years remaining on his contract, so if Levy were to stick with the 59-year-old, an announcement wouldn’t necessarily be the course of action.
The reality of the situation is that, with managers like Thomas Frank being so heavily rumoured for the job, some clarity is needed for all parties involved with Spurs.
His indecision is having a knock-on effect in the club’s lack of transfer business and could lead to negative repercussions for members of the playing squad, such as Cristian Romero.
The delay will also only serve to sour the relationship with the fans, who for a brief moment, finally seemed united.
