Daniel Levy issues Tottenham statement to fans but ignores elephant in the room
Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy has addressed supporters ahead of their final game of the Premier League season, but barely mentioned the club’s manager Ange Postecoglou
Daniel Levy failed to give Ange Postecoglou any assurances over his job in his first words since the Tottenham manager delivered the Europa League. Spurs beat Manchester United 1-0 in the Bilbao final on Wednesday night to end their 17-year wait for a trophy – yet Postecoglou’s future at the club remains unclear.
Postecoglou went into the final under huge pressure to deliver, with Spurs 17th in the Premier League following a dreadful domestic campaign. But the Australian did what he’d promised and broke Spurs’ trophy drought in his second season in charge.
There had previously been reports that Postecoglou would be sacked by Spurs chairman Levy regardless of whether he won the Europa League. And he remains in the dark ahead of the final game of the season, against Brighton on Sunday afternoon.
The 59-year-old wants to stay, having declared at the team’s open-top bus parade, that “season three is always better than season two”. But Levy refused to reassure him, or Spurs fans, of the plan for next season in his traditional address before the last game of the season.

He wrote: “Dear all, We did it. What an unforgettable night it was in Bilbao as we ended our long wait for glory. This is a huge moment for the whole club, an historic achievement that sees us lift our first European trophy since 1984.
“This club has been on an incredible journey on and off the pitch since we last won silverware, the League Cup, in 2008 – establishing ourselves as one of the biggest in Europe, moving into our new stadium and experiencing some incredible moments – we knew a trophy was the missing piece.
“We’ve come so close on a number of occasions and never quite got over the line – I have never wavered from the belief that success is just around the corner. I’d like to thank Ange and the players for making this incredible achievement possible and thanks to all of our amazing staff – there is so much hard work that goes on behind the scenes and this moment is for everyone to enjoy.

“I’d also like to thank you – the fans – for staying with us and carrying that same belief. I know it’s been hard at times and I have shared in that pain and frustration along the way. But when we all come together, we know we can achieve something special.
“Your support – whether that was in Bilbao, in our own stadium or in pubs and homes around the world – was the driving force behind our team. This is one trophy – our clear ambition as a club has always been long-term, sustained success, competing for top honours every year.
“We have now tasted success and we are determined to use this as a springboard for more. Let’s enjoy this moment as a club together, finish the season strong with a win today and go again next year. Most of all, be proud. Come on you Spurs! Daniel.”
