Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy is personally attempting to seal a head-turning appointment at N17, with Spurs talks already held over his potential hire as the Lilywhites look to tempt him with a north London move.
Daniel Levy responds to protests in Tottenham statement
Levy and ENIC’s running of the club have attracted fierce protests, following a dismal Premier League campaign where Ange Postecoglou’s side lie 14th in the table after 15 top flight defeats – the highest number of losses of any side outside the bottom four.

The fan group known as Change for Tottenham are planning another protest against Levy and the boardroom, and criticism has surrounded their on-field transfers as Spurs carry on the 17-year wait for a piece of major silverware.

In response to critics, Levy addressed the club’s spending power, stating that Tottenham cannot spend what they do not have.
“I often read calls for us to spend more, given we are ranked as the ninth-richest club in the world,” said Levy (via The Guardian).
“However, a closer examination of today’s financial figures reveals that such spending must be sustainable in the long term and within our operating revenues. Our capacity to generate recurring revenues determines our spending power.
“We cannot spend what we do not have, and we will not compromise the financial stability of this club – indeed, our off-pitch revenues have significantly supplemented the lower football revenues this year, testament to our diversified income strategy.”
Amidst the widespread dissatisfaction with Levy among Spurs supporters, pressure is mounting on Postecoglou in the dugout, and calls for the Australian’s dismissal have been growing.
Postecoglou’s future at Tottenham is in “serious doubt” (The Athletic), and it is believed that Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola is Levy’s top managerial target to potentially replace the 59-year-old.
There could also be changes further upstairs, with ex-managing director Fabio Paratici reportedly attracting interest from Spurs as the Italian’s worldwide ban from football is due to end on June 30th.
Reports from Italy last week claimed that Tottenham are ready to make a “rich offer” to Paratici, with the former Juventus chief holding Levy talks. Now, an update on this has come to light from The Boot Room and journalist Graeme Bailey.
Daniel Levy "working hard" to appoint Fabio Paratici at Tottenham
According to their information, Levy has indeed held negotiations with Paratici, which occurred last week, and it appears the Spurs chair is determined to seal his return to Hotspur Way ahead of AC Milan.
Bailey writes that Levy is “working hard” to re-appoint Paratici at Tottenham, and while the Rossoneri pose a real threar amid their hunt for a new director, this hasn’t deterred Spurs.
Levy has made a plea to Paratici during talks with the Italian, to come back and ‘finish what he started’.
The 52-year-old enjoyed a productive stint as Tottenham’s managing director before being forced to resign, having played a key role in signing the likes of Rodrigo Bentancur, Dejan Kulusevski, Yves Bissouma, Cristian Romero, Pedro Porro, Djed Spence, Destiny Udogie and Pape Sarr.
It is also believed that Paratici played a leading role in convincing Guglielmo Vicario to join Spurs, despite being banned at the time, and the official is still quite popular among sections of the fanbase.
