Daniel Levy Under Fire Again as Key Departure Looms at Tottenham
Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy finds himself in the spotlight once more, with criticism mounting despite the club’s recent progress in European competition. While Ange Postecoglou brought a much-needed moment of relief by guiding Spurs into the UEFA Europa League semi-finals following a gritty 1-0 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt at Deutsche Bank Park on Thursday (17 April), tensions surrounding the club’s leadership remain high.
Postecoglou’s success on the European front is likely to buy him some breathing room, with reports suggesting that Levy will continue to back the Australian coach through the current transition. However, for many Tottenham supporters, the club’s broader issues run deeper than results in Europe—and those issues point directly to the boardroom.
Fan Frustration Mounts as Levy Faces Renewed Scrutiny
Prior to kick-off in Germany, Spurs fans made their discontent known once again, voicing frustration aimed at the club’s hierarchy. While Postecoglou’s Europa League run has offered a silver lining in a season otherwise marked by inconsistency and injury woes, it hasn’t been enough to silence critics of Levy’s leadership.
For years, Levy has been a divisive figure among Tottenham supporters. This season, with the club struggling to mount a consistent challenge in the Premier League, that discontent has only intensified. A series of protests are reportedly being planned as fans continue to demand greater accountability from the top.
Scott Munn Set to Depart Amid Ongoing Internal Shake-Up
Amid the growing pressure on the club’s leadership, one senior figure looks poised to leave. According to a report from Mail Online (18 April), Chief Football Officer Scott Munn is expected to depart the club in the near future. Munn had taken the lead on Tottenham’s internal review into their ongoing injury crisis during the 2023/24 campaign—a review which ultimately resulted in the dismissal of Head of Medical Geoff Scott.
However, Munn’s own position appears to have come under threat following a lack of visible progress. Former Spurs scout Bryan King, speaking to Tottenham News, didn’t mince words when expressing his view on Munn’s tenure—or Levy’s role in the club’s ongoing problems.
“Munn has been just as ineffective as the team on the pitch,” King said. “But fans aren’t concerned about the Chief Football Officer. Their frustration lies with the man who runs the show—Daniel Levy. He’s the one signing off on major decisions and paying himself handsomely in the process.”
King continued, “When someone at the top earns the kind of money Levy does, why would he delegate the core responsibilities? Especially when the two areas that have consistently let the club down—player recruitment and staff appointments—are ultimately his responsibility.”
End of the Road for Munn in North London
Scott Munn’s time at Tottenham, which spans less than two years, appears to be nearing its end. Despite stepping into a high-level executive role, Munn has struggled to make a meaningful impact, and his tenure will likely be remembered as a period of turbulence and underperformance.
With the summer fast approaching and structural changes anticipated, Munn’s exit may be the first of several behind-the-scenes shake-ups as the club attempts to recalibrate and return to competitive consistency.
As for Levy, the pressure shows no signs of easing. Even with European success offering a temporary reprieve, supporters continue to question the long-term vision and leadership at the top. Unless results dramatically improve across all fronts, it’s clear the spotlight on Tottenham’s chairman will remain intense for the foreseeable future.
