"Lack of winning culture!"
Jamie Redknapp, a former `Liverpool, Tottenham midfielder' former player, threw a straightforward shot at Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy as Tottenham fans prepare for the largest-ever protest ahead of the 25th round of the English Premier League (EPL) at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London at 1:30 a.m. on the 17th (Korea time).
Tottenham, which is currently down to 15th place in the league (27 points), is vowing to turn around against 14th-ranked Manchester United (29 points). Shortly after being eliminated in the second round of the Carabao Cup semifinals on the 7th, he collapsed in the FA Cup round of 32 on the 10th, losing 1-2 to Aston Villa. Now, the only hope left is the Europa League, and amid rumors of the replacement of Angie Postecoglou every game, Redknapp lashed out at owner Levi through Sky Sports before the game.
He pointed out that Tottenham's lack of a culture of winning inside the stadium, intoxicated with financial success outside the stadium, is the reason for Tottenham's consistent slump and failure. "There was never any rhythm or reason when Chairman Levi replaced the manager. It's hard to guess what someone like Levi would do." "Usually chairman Levy tends to want to replace the manager when he changes big pressure. By now, he must be thinking about 'who else should I bring?' "There will be a lot of great candidates outside, but this is the problem." "After Tottenham lost to Liverpool, I thought hard about this situation for a long time. As for me, who played for both clubs, he confessed, "'Why was Tottenham forced to perform poorly for a long time?' "I think a lot of it comes from the winning culture, the winning culture. When I was in Liverpool, culture and the environment were trying to win every season. Players were recruited to win, and there were always pictures of great trophies around the ground"I looked back. "Tottenham is a happy club as long as there is football and Beyoncé in the summer pre-season. It is a business model where everyone can be satisfied and successful. But does that create an environment where the team can succeed? It's never like that. Something is fundamentally wrong."
Levy is expected to face the biggest protest in his 24-year tenure ahead of the match against Manchester United. Fans' anger at Levy exceeded the threshold as the 17-year trophy famine never ranked in the top three in the league since 2018. Last season Tottenham made £615m in revenue, and fans are angry that their squad or performance is not up to that, even though they sold 856 pounds of season tickets, the second most expensive in Europe by adults.
According to local media such as the British Daily Mail, hundreds of fans are expected to participate in the protest hosted by Tottenham supporters group 「Change for Tottenham」, which is fed up with Levy's owner, outside the game. Following the protest march before the start of the game, they were on the south stand "Levi Out!" We are preparing for a full-time sit-down demonstration.
