Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy has come under fire from supporters amid their mixed form this season.
Before Ange Postecoglou‘s side hosted Liverpool at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday, fans were protesting against Levy outside of the ground.
A popular tune in honour of Sweden midfielder Dejan Kulusevski was altered to take aim at the 62-year-old chairman.
‘I don’t care about Levy, Levy doesn’t care about me,’ one banner read, referencing recent ticket-price hikes and plans to scrap some concessions.
Another read: ‘To dare is too dear. ENIC out,’ beside a picture of Levy and Joe Lewis, the majority owner of Tottenham and previously ENIC Group, who bought a controlling stake of the club in 2001 from Alan Sugar.
These protesting words are a spin-off of Tottenham’s motto ‘To dare is to do’.

Levy has spent over £1billion on transfer in the last 14 years, winning no silverware in that time
In a soon-to-be-released TV interview with Mail Sport’s Simon Jordan, Levy says he craves a trophy. An ally of his also commented some years ago: ‘We won’t leave this place until we win something’.
The Spurs chairman has spent over £1bn on transfer arrivals since the club last tasted silverware – the EFL Cup in 2008.
However, with their fourth permanent manager in five years, they still languish in the bottom-half of the Premier League table as we approach the half-way point of the campaign.
Spurs picked up their eighth defeat of the season against Liverpool, as they suffered a humiliating 6-3 loss.
They lie 11th place, eight points behind Nottingham Forest in fourth, as they potentially face a third consecutive season outside of the Champions League next year.
