Careful what you wish for – forcing Daniel Levy out may backfire in the short term

Daniel Levy is hardly the most popular man at Tottenham these days, certainly with a large swathe of the fan base judging by comments on here and social media.

There is no doubt that Levy does have a lot to answer for, his failure to back Mauricio Pochettino at a crucial time has had a devastating effect on the quality of the squad and some of his transfer decisions leave a lot to be desired.

However, we are at a critical time in society as we all battle with the pandemic that has swept the world. Businesses all over the place have been hit terribly and football is no different.

Clubs have lost fortunes and apart from the very few where money is not an issue, nearly every club has to find a way back financially if they are to compete going forward.

Spurs have lost a hell of a lot of money at the wrong time, they are straddled with a huge debt and that will have a knock-on effect in the upcoming summer transfer window.

This is where Daniel Levy can be effective.

If there is one football executive that has the experience and skills to guide a club through a financial meltdown, it is Levy and for now, Spurs need him.

That may not be a popular opinion and I understand why but Spurs need to get back on a sure financial footing and in Levy, Tottenham have a man that can do that.

Once the club is secure financially, then and only then should questions over Levy’s future be addressed, not now, not while we are in an economic black hole.
