Hundreds of Tottenham fans took part in a protest showing their anger at the club’s board and owners on Sunday, and calling for chairman Daniel Levy “to get out of our club”.
The demonstration happened before Spurs’ Premier League match at home to Southampton, with Ange Postecoglou’s side 16th in the table after a disappointing campaign.
The protest was organised by the Change For Tottenham group, with fans able to buy flags and scarves, profits from the sales of which will be donated to The Tottenham Food Bank and Noah’s Children’s Hospice.
“Time for change,” was the message on the flags, while some scarves said ‘Enough is enough, Enic Out!”.
The Enic Group, a British investment company, took over Tottenham in 2001.
“Built a business, killed a football club,” was written on another flag.
The fans’ chants included “We want Levy out,” and “Daniel Levy, get out of our club.” A third chant included the lines: “We don’t care about Levy, he don’t care about me, all I care about is [Dejan] Kulusevski.”
The new stadium has hosted a number of NFL and rugby matches, as well as concerts, and fans believe Levy’s priority is hosting major events instead of building a successful football team.
“Can Beyonce play in defence?” was one chant from the supporters, while another was “Guns ‘n’ Roses, stick them up front.”
