Ange Postecoglou reveals how often he talks to Daniel Levy at Spurs
As Tottenham Hotspur fans grapple with the team’s struggles both on and off the pitch, manager Ange Postecoglou has shed light on his working relationship with club chairman Daniel Levy.
Tottenham’s struggles and the January transfer window
There has been no shortage of discontent among Tottenham Hotspur fans as their team’s form continues to slide, plunging the club into an unfamiliar relegation battle.
The most recent blow came on Sunday when the Lilywhites suffered a gut-wrenching 2-1 defeat at the hands of Leicester City, a side that started the day in 19th place.
Now sitting just one point above 16th-placed Everton—who have played one game fewer—Tottenham are seven points ahead of Leicester City in 17th but are far from safe.
The sense of urgency is palpable, and many fans view the lack of reinforcements during this critical January transfer window as a glaring issue.
Despite the squad being riddled with injuries, Tottenham have signed just one player this window, leaving supporters questioning the ambition and commitment of the board.
With time ticking down to the transfer deadline, the faith in the ownership’s willingness to support Ange Postecoglou appears to have reached a nadir, and frustrations are boiling over both inside the stadium and online.
Ange Postecoglou speaks on his dynamic with Daniel Levy
In the midst of the team’s ongoing struggles, Ange Postecoglou has offered a candid insight into his relationship with chairman Daniel Levy.
Speaking to Sky Sports, the Australian manager highlighted the autonomy he has been afforded but acknowledged that communication with Levy is not frequent, even during a critical transfer window.
He said: “I don’t really speak regularly to him. He lets me get on with it, during this January period there’s always regular contact, but that’s not what I’m talking about. All I’m saying is I come into the club and I feel like everyone, all the players and staff are in the belief of what we’re trying to do.
“I don’t feel like I’m trying to convince people in this moment about what we’re doing and where we’re heading. That’s where I get the solace to say ‘ok I still believe we can’…. I still think there’s an opportunity here. I really believe in this group of players.
“Even today, what I asked of them, some of the performances were outstanding considering what they’ve been through. To me that’s all positive, but ultimately, the fact that we’ve lost another game of football, the focus is on that.”
Fans voice frustrations at the ownership
While Ange Postecoglou has faced scrutiny for Tottenham’s struggles, the loudest criticism has been directed at the club’s ownership, with Daniel Levy at the centre of fans’ ire.
The defeat to Leicester City brought out the most vocal protests yet, with chants of “Levy out” reverberating around the stadium.
Even the music blaring through the stadium’s speakers did little to muffle the disgruntled voices of the home crowd.
The frustration extended far beyond the confines of the stadium, spilling over onto social media platforms where fans did not hold back in expressing their dissatisfaction.
Many demanded sweeping changes at the top level, reiterating calls for Levy and the current board to step aside.
