Mass of fuming Tottenham fans flood streets and chant ‘we want Levy out’ in biggest protest against club’s ownership
FUMING Tottenham supporters took to the streets chanting “we want Levy out” in a protest against the club’s ownership.
Fed-up fans launched the biggest backlash of Levy’s reign just hours ahead of Spurs’ crunch clash against Manchester United this afternoon.
The demo was organised by season-ticket holders under the name ‘Change for Tottenham’.
And thousands of irate supporters took to the street outside the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the biggest protest of Levy’s 24-year reign.
Exclusive footage captured by SunSport showed fans singing songs and chanting “we want Levy out” while players prepared to take on Ruben Amorim’s Red Devils.
They then marched around the concourse outside the ground as numerous banners were held aloft.

One sign read: “Profits before glory. Enough is enough. ENIC out, Levy out.”
Another said: “Our game is about glory. Levy’s game is about greed.”
One sign declared: “24 years, 16 managers, 1 trophy. Time for change.”
Another added: “We want our club back. Levy out.”
The protestors hope that the pressure forces majority owners ENIC to sell up while also forcing chairman Levy out.
But there could yet be more demonstrations later today despite one supporter spotted waving a 'Levy In' banner.
After the match against United, the same group of fans plan on staging a sit-in in the South Stand.
Asked if the anti-Levy feeling is the worst it has ever been, Change for Tottenham’s Jamie Coughlan said: “By far. We’ve had the promises broken every single time.
“It’s by far the most vigilant fans have been on the way the club acts.
“If you look at 2019, we were battling to win a Champions League final.
"Fast forward five years and realistically we’re in a relegation fight."
Spurs currently sit 15th ahead of their clash with United, with the visitors two points ahead in 14th.
The Londoners have not won a trophy since 2008’s League Cup.
And their wages-to-turnover ratio is the lowest in the league at 42 per cent — despite being the ninth-richest club in the world.

Change for Tottenham hope that by fans showing their discontent for Levy and ENIC, an interested party could be tempted to come forward and buy the £4billion-valued side.
Coughlan added: “It will show that the fans are unhappy with the ownership which could then force somebody into saying, ‘Do you know what, I’m going to try, I’m going to test the waters and see if Tottenham would be interested in selling’.”
