Tottenham Hotspur hosted their Fans Forum on September 23 with supporters getting the chance to grill the likes of Daniel Levy, Ange Postecoglou and Johan Lange.

Daniel Levy was asked about what successes he feels he’s had as chairman and how he deals with the overwhelming criticism he receives from fans.

The Tottenham chairman was also questioned about whether he would be open to Tottenham receiving some sort of minority investment.

Former Newcastle United co-owner Amanda Staveley has been touted as a potential investor in the North London club and Levy answered questions about that possibility.

Levy confirmed that Tottenham Hotspur are in the market for some form of minority investment with the club looking for a bigger capital base.

He claims the club have several exciting projects coming up and the owners want to make bigger investments in the football team.

Speaking at Tottenham’s Fan Forum on September 23, Levy said: “We announced with our last results that we believe this club needs a bigger capital base because we’ve got a lot of exciting projects on the horizon and we want to make further investment in the team.

“Some form of minority investment is what we’re looking for. We’ve got nothing to announce at the moment but we are in the market.”

Levy must listen to critics and make changes to how he runs Tottenham

When asked about how he deals with the overwhelming amount of criticism he receives as chairman of the club, Levy revealed how he just blocks out the noise.

He told supporters at the Fans Forum: “I have a very thick skin and I just ignore it. Makes me want to be more successful!”

A lot of the criticism aimed towards the 62-year-old is pretty sickening, but criticism from more rational supporters and outsiders can be constructive.

Rather than just ignoring what the supporters are telling him, he needs to work with them to start making better choices for the team.

His lack of understanding and cooperation with fans is why he is so often criticised and for his own good, he needs to start listening and taking it on board.
