In a rare and revealing interview, Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy has hit back at his critics, delivering a stern warning to both clubs and fans while shedding light on the dramatic decisions behind Ange Postecoglou's dismissal and Thomas Frank's near-appointment.
Levy's Fiery Defence
The Spurs chief, often a polarising figure among supporters, didn't hold back as he addressed the mounting pressure surrounding his leadership. 'People forget how far we've come,' Levy stated, referencing Tottenham's rise to consistent top-four challengers and their state-of-the-art stadium.
The Postecoglou Decision
Levy confirmed that former manager Ange Postecoglou was sacked due to 'a fundamental misalignment with the club's long-term vision', despite initial promise. The chairman admitted the decision was tough but necessary for Tottenham's future ambitions.
Thomas Frank Almost Took Over
In a surprising revelation, Levy disclosed that Brentford's Thomas Frank was seriously considered for the role. 'We admired his work at Brentford, but ultimately went another direction,' he said, without elaborating on why talks broke down.
A Warning to Critics
The Tottenham chairman issued a pointed message to detractors: 'Constructive criticism is welcome, but constant negativity helps no one.' He emphasised the need for unity as Spurs look to challenge for silverware next season.
With the interview making waves across football circles, all eyes will be on Levy's next moves in the transfer market as Tottenham aim to bounce back from a disappointing campaign.
