Tottenham fans hit out at Daniel Levy on social media after Leicester defeat
A home defeat to Leicester City has left Tottenham fans fuming at Daniel Levy and the board, with some demanding urgent changes to salvage the season.
What happened in Tottenham vs Leicester?
Tottenham Hotspur suffered yet another disappointing defeat at home, this time a 2-1 loss to Leicester City. Despite taking the lead in the first half, Spurs conceded two goals in the space of five minutes in the second half, continuing their dismal run of form.
This result makes it just five points out of the last 33 available, with Spurs now winless in their last seven home games. They sit in 15th place on the Premier League table, just two spots above the relegation zone, and could drop further if Everton win their game in hand.
The frustration among fans is very evident, especially with the January transfer window failing to provide reinforcements for a squad plagued by injuries.
Spurs have signed only one player so far this window, and with just a few days left before the deadline, faith in the board’s commitment to backing Ange Postecoglou is at an all-time low.
The “Levy out” chants were buzzing, and this was probably the loudest it has been this entire season. I could hear it from my TV, and the loud music in the stadium did very little to silence the home crowd.
Tottenham fans erupt against Daniel Levy on social media
SpursWeb’s tweet, which stated, “If they weren’t going to back Ange in the window, then why stick with him? Tottenham Hotspur are in a relegation battle while the board, Lange and Munn watch on. Unforgivable.” sparked a flood of reactions, with fans venting their anger toward Chairman Daniel Levy, Scott Munn, and Director of Football Johan Lange.
One fan summed up the frustration, saying, “The board continues to fail this club every year.” Another echoed this sentiment, writing, “Because they don’t care about the club. They don’t want to spend the money needed. They’re content with a manager cycle of every 18 months taking the blame for their ownership.”
Others pointed to a deliberate strategy by the board, with one reply stating, “It’s a Levy tactic. Pretend you want to back the manager but buy no players for him and then sack him when the window is finished, claiming you didn’t buy anyone because the manager was getting sacked.” Another fan added, “Wait for the window to shut. Say they tried and then sack the manager because of the results.”
Some fans sympathised with Postecoglou and the squad, with one saying, “The squad with arguably the best morale/momentum faces the biggest challenge of missing ten first-team players for months. And guess what? The board leaves them to suffer. I feel sorry for the players, Ange, and all of us.”
However, there were a few dissenting voices blaming the manager’s decisions. One critic argued, “This is on Ange. Why do you keep picking Son and Kulu every match? These guys need rest. Porro always lets the team down, yet he starts every match.” Another frustrated fan simply declared, “Ange out!”
The bigger picture
The lack of activity in the transfer window has left fans questioning the ambition of the club’s hierarchy. Despite facing one of the worst injury crises in the club’s history, Tottenham have made only one signing.
With just days left in the transfer window, there is little hope that Daniel Levy and the Tottenham board will act decisively. Some fans speculate Levy is waiting until the final days to save on wages, while others believe no signings will be made at all, with the return of injured players used as an excuse to avoid spending.
Watching the game, it was evident that Ange Postecoglou had no reliable options on the bench. The starting XI looked exhausted, and the lack of depth was glaring. While the players gave their all, the physical toll of the season is evident, and without reinforcements, it is unfair to expect them to sustain the intensity required to compete.
Levy’s cautious approach to spending has not gone unnoticed. Many fans mockingly suggested the club’s motto, “To Dare Is to Do,” should be changed to “To Dare Is to Consider.”
Spurs have been linked with several high-profile names this window—Kolo Muani, Jonathan David, Milan Skriniar, Jack Grealish and Marcus Rashford, to name a few—yet no deals have materialised.
It’s a recurring theme that leaves supporters disillusioned. Phrases like “considering a move for”, “in strong talks with”, and “planning a deal for” summed up the club’s transfer activity so far.
Managers like Antonio Conte and José Mourinho would likely have expressed their fury at the board at this point. Postecoglou, for his part, has remained composed, but fans fear he may not be able to work miracles with a squad so desperately in need of reinforcements. The clock is ticking, and Tottenham’s season hangs in the balance.
