Former Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Paul Robinson has slammed under pressure Daniel Levy for failing to back Ange Postecoglou.
Daniel Levy continues to feel the heat as more eyes scrutinise his every move following the recent protests that saw thousands of Tottenham fans take to the streets to voice their discontent.
With frustration at the north London club growing, rumours have surfaced of a potential Tottenham takeover from Qatar, with private investors reportedly prepared to buy the club.
However, those reports have since been dismissed, with sources stating they are untrue. It has also been claimed that Levy’s demands have led to yet another breakdown in a potential takeover deal.
Paul Robinson calls out Daniel Levy’s transfer dealings
With the Lilywhites still struggling on the pitch under Levy’s tenure, criticism continues to be levelled at the Tottenham hierarchy.
In a recent appearance on Stadium Astro, former Tottenham goalkeeper Paul Robinson shared his thoughts on the club’s struggles and the growing discontent among fans.
He said: “Fingers have been pointed at Daniel Levy. I think recruitment-wise, you look at the players they’ve got – the injury problems they’ve had this season have been well-documented – the players Ange hasn’t had at his disposal.
“So then we get to January. It is nothing new—the window opens on the first of January, we know we are short in certain areas. Go get the players as soon as that window opens, go get the manager the players that he needs.
“So you take it back two or three years. Spurs fans want trophies, this place craves trophies. He goes and gets ‘win now’ managers—he goes and gets Antonio Conte, Jose Mourinho. Both of them would say they were not backed with ‘win now’ players.
“So Ange Postecoglou is stuck. The manager they want—to see him through with his philosophy, with the way that he plays—but he has not got the formation. What summed it up for me was the bid they allegedly put in for Marc Guéhi at the end of the January window.
“If you want a player of that quality, who has 18 months left on his deal, you go to Crystal Palace as soon as the window opens. You do not put a bid in—you ask how much they want for him, and then you either pay it or you do not. And that is where they have fallen down numerous times for me—in backing the manager with the squad depth and the players he needs.”
What next for Levy and Tottenham?
Daniel Levy clearly has no intention of leaving Tottenham Hotspur anytime soon, given the number of takeover deals that never seem to get over the line. Why would he walk away, considering the profits the club generates year after year?
However, the next few seasons could prove to be even more turbulent, especially with supporters becoming increasingly agitated.
If Levy fails to invest significantly in the Tottenham squad this summer, protests will only intensify, and perhaps that will finally force his hand.
