Daniel Levy hits back at his critics in interview as he sends warning to fans

Daniel Levy insisted that he did not receive the credit that he deserves, because the Tottenham chairman delves into a rare interview in a wide range of subjects.

Under Ange Postecoglou last season, Spurs passed a gloomy domestic campaign due to a serious injury crisis.

Although it was often forced to use players from position with the club considerably better on the continent.

In May, Postecoglou Spurs led to their first silverware in more than 15 years when she defeated Manchester United in the Europa League final thanks to a first half goal of Brennan Johnson.

Only 16 days later, Postecoglou was dismissed on the second anniversary of his employment and replaced by the old Brentford boss Thomas Frank.

About Postecoglou's looting levy stated that it had been a 'collective decision' from the board of directors.

“In the end the decision is with me, but it is always a collective decision,” Levy told Gary Neville about the overlap.

“We have a board of directors, but we have a group of technical staff under the board and they advise.”

The 63-year-old added that the club could not ignore sentimentality to make the right decision.

He continued: 'We had to explain the decision to say goodbye to Ange.

'Ange has just won a trophy – a European trophy – very important and he will always be in our history.

'We could not lose sight of the fact that we ended 17th in the competition, we lost 22 Premier League matches, and it is impossible for Tottenham to be in that position, and so we had to get the emotion out and we had to give some data points about why we decided to do what we did.

“At whatever level you do it, nobody likes to say someone:” You lose your job “, but it is the nature of football. We are there to win and yes, we won a European trophy – and it was fantastic – but we also have to win on all fronts – and the Premier League says it all. '

Asked if he feels that he is 'too involved' in football matches that his critics go back and repeated that decisions are made as a collective.

“I would say that is completely unfair,” he added.

'People who have worked in this club and understand the functioning of the football side, I do not interfere at all in the decision -making of this player versus that player.

'It is always the coach, always the technical staff – the only thing I get involved with is when they decide which player they want to buy or which player they want to sell; I will go out and do my utmost for this football club. I don't get involved in football decisions.

'It's no different than another club – it's not just me – it's a sign. When we went through the decision to appoint Thomas [Frank]There were several people involved in that decision – I was just one of them. '

In the 24 years, Levy has chaired a period of change in North Londs since he succeeded Lord Sugar in the club.

In 2017, the club waved goodbye to the historic White Hart Lane soil that he had already called his house for more than a century.

Instead, the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, a modern 62,000 location that has become a hub for both sports and entertainment.

Thinking about the Move Levy insisted that the new house of the club is his crowning performance at the helm.

He said: “The construction of the Tottenham Hotspur stadium is my greatest achievement, and I don't do it anymore.

“This stadium is a symbol of Tottenham Hotspur on the global map. I think it's fantastic for the local community – the work we make because of this stadium.

“We are very aware that we want this area to improve economically and the activity that this stadium entails is very important for the locals.”
