Daniel Levy struggles to take his financial cap off at Tottenham, sources say
The Standard’s Dan Kilpatrick has shared an interesting revelation from one of his sources on how Daniel Levy runs Tottenham and whether he does indeed have the club’s best interest at heart.
On Sunday, we saw a protest the likes of which we have not been used to at Tottenham, with thousands of fans marching against Daniel Levy and the club’s owners.
The theme of the march and the sit-in protest following the game was clear: the supporters feel that under this ownership, the success of the first team has not been prioritised.
Many point to the fact that Spurs have won just one trophy since ENIC’s takeover more than two decades ago as clear evidence that on-field success is not as important to this regime as financial success.
Daniel Levy focuses on what is financially best for Tottenham
A few days ago, a detailed report in BBC Sport did a deep dive into how Daniel Levy runs Tottenham by speaking to several sources who have worked with the Spurs chairman at the club over the years.
The outlet claimed that the 63-year-old was hurt by the chants against him as he feels he has always prioritised the needs of the club and has backed the recent managers he has employed.
Kilpatrick explained he had heard that Levy is often not able to separate what is financially best for the club from what is good for the footballing side of the business.
