Tottenham takeover: ‘New owners to continue Levy nightmare’ amid Qatari news
Tottenham supporters will be dreaming of one day escaping Daniel Levy’s ownership following endless seasons of zero trophies.
Spurs have been unable to lift silverware since winning the League Cup in the 2007/08 season, largely making them a laughingstock amongst other teams in the Premier League.
That has certainly been a constant theme during Ange Postecoglou‘s reign, with the Lilywhites currently 14th in the Premier League after 24 matches, and just 10 points above the relegation zone.
Having also been knocked out of the EFL Cup and FA Cup this term, the team currently have just the Europa League title to fight for, though few fans are confident in the competition.
Constant injury blows have been a problem this season, with the finger largely being pointed at the owner for a lack of on-pitch investment, and many would hope that a takeover would solve that problem.
However, that looks to be far from the truth.
Daniel Levy contract involved in potential Qatari takeover
No investors have been able to meet the £3.75million valuation at Hotspur Way, and there are currently no parties in negotiations to take the keys from the owner.
However, it is understood Levy could be handed a long-term contract to continue as executive chairman at Spurs if a takeover is to happen in North London.
Possible new investors are keen to keep his expertise within the four walls at Hotspur Way if a takeover is eventually completed, which should only spell bad news for the Lilywhites.
If new owners want to listen to Levy’s ideas, he could pressure them into a lack of spending on the pitch, resulting in a similar lack of investment in the squad.
Ange Postecoglou suffering thanks to Tottenham owner
Levy’s total lack of spending on the pitch has come back to bite Postecoglou, who is now under immense pressure to leave his role at Hotspur Way.
While Kevin Danso and Mathys Tel were both added to the squad before the winter transfer window slammed shut, they were last-gasp deals just before the 11pm deadline.
Without the likes of Micky van de Ven, Cristian Romero, Brennan Johnson, Dominic Solanke and Destiny Udogie, to name just a few, some supporters have shown the struggling manager patience and compassion.
Others, meanwhile, still stick with the verdict that performances have not been good enough, but until the owner puts his hands in his pockets, development on the pitch will be sluggish and frustrating.
