Former Liverpool striker Stan Collymore has slammed Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy for the way in which he runs the North London football club and his dismissive response to disgruntled Spurs fans. Tottenham fans have grown in frustration in recent years over the club's perceived lack of ambition to push beyond merely competing for a place in the top four. The uninspiring start to the new campaign, which has involved defeats away at Newcastle and at home to Arsenal , has added to the animosity within the luxurious Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
This new ground was opened in 2019, and has been widely regarded as one of the greatest footballing venues in the country, but Collymore believes that Levy has utilised the new stadium as a tool to justify the way in which he operates the club. Collymore Laments Levy Built as a means of closing the gap with England's most successful clubs, the increased match revenues generated from the brand new and shiny 61,000-seater stadium in North London are supposedly meant to help push Tottenham to the upper echelons of the game. Since opening in 2019, Spurs fans certainly haven't seen a return on this as of yet, with the Lillywhites finishing in the top four just once in this period.
With Ange Postecoglou's side set to travel to Old Trafford to face another big club with an ever-resentful fanbase in Manchester United on Sunday, Collymore spoke of Levy's alienation of his own supporters, who the pundit argues have been reduced to being consumers. W.
