Tottenham in crisis? Ange Postecoglou under pressure but chairman Daniel Levy is in the firing line after Leicester loss

26 January 2025, 17:35 | Updated: 27 January 2025, 14:19

The first chants of "we want Levy out" were audible long before the implosion which condemned Spurs to their latest defeat. The home fans were airing their dissatisfaction early in the first half. What happened later just increased the volume.

It was the embattled Ange Postecoglou, of course, who had to face the cameras afterwards. That is the lot of the head coach. But he is not the main target for the ire of the home supporters. Chairman Daniel Levy is the man in the firing line.

Levy has of course transformed the club during his tenure, taking Spurs into their magnificent new stadium and overhauling the infrastructure. On the pitch, though, supporters feel they are seeing same old problems. A culture of underachievement remains.

The discontent is not new but recent events have brought it into sharp focus. Spurs are on a run of one win from 12 Premier League games. They have lost 13 out of 23 this season in total. Only Leicester, Wolves and Southampton have tasted defeat more often. Those sides are in a relegation fight. Spurs, in 15th, might now be too.
