"Levi Out" has become a daily routine. Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy has long been at the centre of criticism from fans.
In every game, a voice chanting "Levi Out" is heard on the ground. However, Chairman Levy remains steadfast. Tottenham manager Enze Postecoglou is also in good shape.
Tottenham suffered elimination from the two tournaments in just three days. Tottenham was defeated by Liverpool in the Carabao Cup (League Cup) on the 7th (Korea time) and failed to advance to the final.
In the second round of the semifinals against Liverpool, they were completely defeated 0-4. Tottenham, which won 1-0 in the first match at home on the 9th of last month, shed tears in the semifinals, falling behind to a total of 1-4 in the first and second matches.
On the 10th, he was eliminated early in the fourth round of the FA Cup. Tottenham lost to Aston Villa 1-2 and failed to advance to the round of 16. At this point, Coach Postecoglou also has to pack his bags. Chairman Levy, who has a short temper, has replaced 12 coaches while leading Tottenham for 25 years.
World-renowned masters such as Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte also failed to avoid chairman Levi's sword during the season. Coach Nunu Espiritu Santo, who is producing a sensation at Nottingham Forest this season, was kicked out of Tottenham after just four months in the 2021-2022 season. Nottingham are currently in third place in the English Premier League (EPL).

However, Postecoglou showed no signs of being replaced. There is a reason. It is analyzed that Tottenham's current slump is due to injured players. Chairman Levi also believes they can get back on track if they return.
England's 'The Sun' on the 12th 'Most people know that serious injuries to the squad have ruined his season. Many people think it's fair to judge Postecoglou properly after key players return from the game.
It also tells you the numbers. It couldn't be more serious. Tottenham is exposed to the worst injury among EPL clubs competing in the European match. As many as 213 players have missed 39 games this season due to injuries. No match for Arsenal with 169, Manchester City with 158, and Manchester United with 157.
Tottenham missed 11 first-team players due to injuries against Aston Villa. Dominic Solanke, James Maddison, Christian Romero, Mickey van the Penn, Brennan Johnson, Wilson O'Dober, Timo Werner, Destiny Udoji, Radu Dragushin, Hishalisson, and Guglielmo Vicario.

Some predict that Postecoglou will continue to take the helm this season unless there is a `great disaster.' European transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano, who is synonymous with here WE GO, also said Postecoglou would not leave Tottenham immediately.
On the 10th, he said in England's `Give Me Sports`. Of course, no one is satisfied with the current situation, but there is no sign of a sudden change."
There is also the last hope to shake off the drought of winning the championship. Tottenham is 14th in the EPL, but it is still alive in the Europa League (UEL). Tottenham finished fourth in the UEL League phase and went straight to the round of 16.
'The Sun' has a clear chance to win when the injured return. That would not only allow Tottenham to return to the Champions League, but would also end their 17-year championship drought.'

Postecoglou said after Aston Villa that "people can judge me. You can say that I did something wrong, that I didn't deserve it. It's okay. What I'm saying is that we can't criticize our players' performances at this point in time."
And if you want to evaluate what players are doing outside of extreme situations, I think your analysis is distorted and not objective. If you're getting rid of me, that's fine. You can do it a million times. But these players have been brilliant in the last two and a half months" raised his voice.
Tottenham will play the 25th round of the EPL against Manchester United on the 17th. Chairman Levi could face greater resistance if he fired Postecoglou. There is no choice.
However, some argue that if Postecoglou cannot find a way out despite the return of injured players, 'hardness' is inevitable.
