Daniel Levy will be pleased to see the back of April. First, we had an unhelpful business with the person operating the Dulux Paint social media account who lost the run of themselves. By the time offending Tweets were deleted, the damage had been done, and the ridicule had been halfway around the world and was on its way back again.
Then came the sudden decision to sack José Mourinho just 17 months into a contract that was to run to the end of the 2022/23 season.
Next up was the business with the European Super League which to date has triggered the stepping down of CEO Rebecca Caplehorn, as well as angry fans outside the stadium demanding Levy and ENIC move on – and there’s another, bigger protest scheduled for the last game of the season.
Since then, Joe Hart has made an appearance on BT Sport – working as the Manchester City inclined pundit for the Paris St Germain game.
Worse yet, Spurs’ reserve keeper was quoted by numerous fans as saying that City “hadn’t had a game where they’d had to compete recently”.
This was obviously just days after Tottenham were beaten in the Carabao Cup final – by Manchester City.
The optics look dreadful on just about everything to have happend to Spurs this month. The sooner some upbeat news breaks, the better.
