Tottenham fans gather to protest against chairman Daniel Levy

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy has come under fire from supporters this season for their mixed form.

Before Ange Postecoglou's side hosted Liverpool at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday, fans protested against Levy outside the pitch.

A popular tune in honor of Swedish midfielder Dejan Kulusevski was changed to target the 62-year-old chairman.

“I don't care about Levy, Levy doesn't care about me,” read one banner, referring to recent ticket price increases and plans to cut some concessions.

Another read: 'Daring is too expensive. ENIC out', next to a photo of Levy and Joe Lewis, the majority shareholder of Tottenham and formerly ENIC Group, who bought a majority stake in the club from Alan Sugar in 2001.

These protesting words are a spin-off of Tottenham's motto 'To dare is to do'.

In an upcoming TV interview with Mail Sport's Simon Jordan, Levy says he is hungry for a trophy. An ally of his also said a few years ago, “We're not leaving this place until we win something.”

The Spurs chairman has spent more than £1 billion on transfers since the club last tasted silverware – the EFL Cup in 2008.

However, with their fourth permanent manager in five years, they are still languishing in the bottom half of the Premier League as we approach the halfway point of the season.

Spurs suffered their eighth defeat of the season against Liverpool as they suffered a humiliating 6-3 defeat.

They sit in 11th place, eight points behind fourth-placed Nottingham Forest, as they face a possible third straight season outside the Champions League next year.
