Tottenham have punched above their weight so far this season.  They need reinforcements in January if they’re not going to slip further behind.

Daniel Levy has been a good chairman for Spurs for the past decade.  He’s been excellent actually.  He’s transformed the club from the one I knew as a child into this seems very different consistent title hopeful group.  That in and of itself is such a major change that he should be celebrated for it.
This though is where lies his fault.  He seems stuck in that previous era.  He’s too cautious and too scared.  For some reason, though he’s on the precipice of securing the first silverware in decades for his club seems to be preoccupied with penny-pinching.  It doesn’t make any sense. The books are balanced and the club has money. Levy often strikes one as penny wise and pound stupid in moments like this.  Is he too scared but the clubs fiscal scars of yesteryear? Who knows.
Every single year Premier League clubs make hundreds of millions of pounds in TV money and Spurs are about to open a sparkling new stadium that is already rented out to the NFL for even more money.  Why won’t Daniel seize the moment?

The truth is if he doesn’t he’s letting things get away from him.  Eriksen’s contract is winding down and so is Alderweireld’s.  Pochettino is getting other offers and Harry Kane is looking more appealing to every other major club in Europe.  This season might be the season when Spurs can make it work and yet still he won’t do anything about it?  It’s vulgar and obscene.
The league is more up for grabs than it has been in a long time and if not the Champions League (in which Spurs still have a chance), then the Europa League and the FA Cup are all still available.  Though football isn’t about balancing the books they are done and yet still Daniel won’t spend.
He needs to support the manager and more importantly the supporters. They give so much to the club and have been strong through thick and thin and yet still he continues to ask for more while not investing it?  A club is only as strong as it supports and yet it appears that Levy continues to ask for more while refusing to give back.
Spurs must spend big in January and make a full out assault on a trophy.  Anything can happen in football.  Leicester just won the league a few year ago.  An injury, a missed kick, a dropped ball and anything could happen and next year could be too late.  The present is worth fighting for and Daniel Levy must show an inclination to do so.
