Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy is easily the least popular member of the club among fans, and that's a sad fact that has not changed over the years, with increasing pressure from supporters mounting against the de factor leader of one of the Premier League's proudest clubs.
Spurs fans have another gripe with Levy this summer, because the chairman's plodding and inability to make a public decision or at least some sort of statement on the manager situation has significantly hamstrung the club.
Ange Postecoglou, weeks away from bringing the first Europa League in over 40 years to Tottenham, still remains in limbo with no real clarity on his job. Some of the best available managers on the open market have already been cleared off the board without a single approach from Tottenham, including Champions League finalist Simone Inzaghi, who will be joining Al-Hilal (of all teams).
Aside from taking top manager candidates off the table if they were to fire Postecogluo, Tottenham are hurting their club in a more profound, lasting way into the 2025/26 season and the upcoming Champions League campaign by waffling on a clear decision with Big Ange.
Tottenham are watching their competitors sign top targets
Tottenham are taking top transfer targets off the table for themselves because Levy is waiting this long. Rayan Cherki, an apparent dream target in the attack, is already closing in on a move to mighty Manchester City without so much as a fight from Tottenham, reminiscent of Spurs losing out on Desire Doue to PSG last year.
So many chips in the transfer market have already fallen. Chelsea have signed striker Liam Delap - another possible option at the 9 for Tottenham - while Manchester United landed one of the best players in the Premier League in Wolves playmaker Matheus Cunha. And then Manchester City are bringing in Tijjani Rejinders from AC Milan.
So the exact teams that Tottenham are competing with for Champions League slots in the Premier League next season are already shaking and baking with transformative moves for their respective squads, signing some of the most coveted talents in European football. And Tottenham are sitting on their hands with bupkis, leaving their fans scouring for crumbs on the transfer rumor mill with links to players like Rodrigo Muniz.
The sooner Levy gives Tottenham and the rest of the world of football real clarity, the better it will be for Spurs because it means they can get started with their own transfer business. And since this is a team that finished a historically poor 17th in the Premier League, Spurs had better believe they have a litany of needs to cover this summer in the midfield and attack.
If Spurs want the caliber of players who will actually help them go from 17th back to 5th, at the very least, then they need to get cracking now as opposed to in two more weeks when Levy finally wakes out of his self-induced coma.
