Tottenham Hotspur finds itself in turmoil following a 2-1 defeat to Leicester, and the home fans wasted no time in making their frustrations known.
As early as the first half, chants of “we want Levy out” were heard echoing around the stadium, setting the tone for what would become a fiery atmosphere. While head coach Ange Postecoglou took the brunt of the post-match media attention, it is chairman Daniel Levy who has become the main target of the discontent. Despite Postecoglou’s struggles, it is Levy’s decisions at the top of the club that have left many supporters pointing the finger.
Daniel Levy’s tenure at Tottenham has seen the club undergo significant transformation, most notably with the construction of the new stadium and an overhaul of the club’s infrastructure. However, these off-field successes have not translated into the kind of on-field progress fans were hoping for. With Spurs languishing in 15th place and struggling with recurring issues, the supporters are becoming increasingly frustrated, feeling that the same problems of underachievement persist under Levy’s stewardship.
Recent results have highlighted the depth of Spurs’ issues, with just one win in their last 12 Premier League games. The team’s inconsistency is troubling, and their defensive frailties have been exposed time and time again. This season, Spurs have already lost 13 out of 23 matches, with only three teams in the league suffering more defeats. Given their current form, it’s hard to argue that Tottenham is not in a relegation battle, as the club’s poor performances seem to show no signs of turning around.

One of the biggest concerns for Postecoglou and the Spurs squad is the growing injury list, with James Maddison the latest key player to be sidelined. Despite the transfer window being open for nearly four weeks, Tottenham’s only significant signing has been 21-year-old goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky.
Postecoglou has publicly acknowledged the squad’s need for reinforcements, but the lack of action in the market has only intensified the pressure on Levy to act. Fans are becoming increasingly vocal, questioning whether Levy’s failure to address the team’s deficiencies in January will come back to haunt them.
Postecoglou’s Approach
Postecoglou’s approach, though marked by a clear tactical philosophy, has been questioned as well. His insistence on playing at a high intensity, despite a growing injury list, may be taking its toll on an already stretched squad. Spurs lead the Premier League in both sprints and distance covered, but this demanding style seems to be exacerbating the club’s injury woes. Without the ability to rotate his squad, Postecoglou is asking more from the players who are still available, leading to further fatigue and, ultimately, disappointing performances.
The road ahead looks challenging for both Postecoglou and Levy. Spurs have conceded 21 points from winning positions this season, the most in the Premier League. This statistic points to a deeper issue with the team’s mentality and structure, one that even injuries cannot fully explain.
Despite the occasional flashes of brilliance, like their victories over Manchester City and Aston Villa, the overall lack of consistency and defensive fragility remains a serious problem. With mounting pressure on both the manager and chairman, the question is whether Spurs can turn things around or if they will continue to spiral into a deeper crisis.
