Hopes of a bright start to the year have dimmed for Tottenham Hotspur as supporter frustration towards chairman Daniel Levy continued to boil over during the dispiriting defeat to Everton.
Tottenham Hotspur suffered yet another Premier League defeat, falling 3-2 to Everton at Goodison Park on Sunday afternoon.
The match highlighted the severe challenges Tottenham have faced in recent months. A relentless injury crisis has gripped the squad for over three months, with up to eleven first-team players sidelined prior to the start of the match.
Despite these difficulties, the January transfer window has not brought reinforcements. While goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky was signed early in the window, no outfield players have been added to address glaring weaknesses.
This has added fuel to the belief that Daniel Levy’s transfer strategy lacks the urgency needed to support the manager adequately, echoing a pattern seen under previous regimes.
Fans’ chants lay bare frustrations with Daniel Levy
During the match against Everton, Tottenham Hotspur supporters in the away end made their feelings towards the Spurs chairman abundantly clear.
The chairman, who was in attendance at Goodison Park, was subjected to chants from the travelling fans who expressed their growing disillusionment with his leadership.
The first chant captured the frustration succinctly: “We want Levy out.”

The second chant was more direct, with supporters chanting: “I do not care about Levy, he does not care about me, all I care about is Kulusevski.”

Daniel Levy needs to sell Tottenham for the sake of the club
The dissatisfaction with Daniel Levy is not new, but recent events have intensified calls for a shift in Tottenham’s leadership.
Observing Sunday’s defeat from his front-row seat at in the upper grandstand at Goodison Park, the chairman would have been under no illusion about the feelings of the fanbase, who are losing patience with a lack of ambition and consistent underinvestment.
Levy has often been criticised for failing to back managers adequately during transfer windows, a criticism that looms large as the January window progresses with no meaningful business conducted.
Former Tottenham CEO Claude Littner recently voiced his opinion, suggesting that Levy should consider selling the club.
