After Tottenham Hotspur’s disappointing 4-3 loss to Chelsea in December 2024, fans are growing increasingly vocal in their calls for club chairman Daniel Levy and the ENIC Group, which owns the club, to step down. The defeat, which saw Spurs struggle defensively and fail to capitalize on promising attacks, only intensified the growing frustration among supporters who have long criticized Levy and ENIC’s leadership.
Tottenham fans have voiced their displeasure with the current regime for years, accusing Levy of prioritizing financial interests over the club’s on-field success. Under Levy’s stewardship, Spurs have seen limited success, with a few near-misses in major competitions, but no silverware since the 2008 League Cup. The loss to Chelsea, a bitter rival, further fueled the discontent. Fans were heard chanting slogans such as “Levy out” and “ENIC out,” as they expressed their belief that the leadership has failed to deliver the success the club has long aspired to.
The defeat also came amid a period of growing unease over Tottenham’s direction. After a promising start to the 2024-2025 season, Spurs have fallen into inconsistency, leading many to question the club’s recruitment strategy and long-term vision. Fans are particularly critical of Levy’s handling of managerial appointments and transfers. Tottenham has had a revolving door of managers, with none able to build a stable, winning team. The appointment of Ange Postecoglou, following a string of unsuccessful managerial stints, initially brought optimism, but the loss to Chelsea and the team’s subsequent poor performances have cast doubt on whether the Australian can succeed.
Moreover, the ENIC Group’s ownership has been scrutinized for its perceived lack of ambition. Critics argue that while the group has invested in the club’s infrastructure, including the state-of-the-art Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, they have failed to invest adequately in players or coaching staff. The fans’ frustration is compounded by the club’s lack of progress in achieving its long-term goals, including securing a Premier League title or winning the Champions League.
The growing chorus of discontent has now reached a boiling point, with protests at matches becoming more frequent. Fans have taken to social media to express their anger, calling for a change in leadership and ownership. Despite these growing protests, however, Levy and ENIC have shown little indication of stepping down. The club’s owners have largely remained steadfast in their belief that they are building the club’s future, but with mounting pressure from the fans, it remains to be seen how long they can hold on to power.
Tottenham’s latest defeat to Chelsea has only added to the growing unrest among supporters, who continue to demand change and accountability from the club’s leadership. As the calls for Levy and ENIC to leave intensify, the club’s future direction remains uncertain.
