Spurs legend Ledley King on Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy: “It’s important for me to say that I think he gets a bit of tough criticism at times. When I first joined the club, we were a mid-table team. Over the years we’ve kind of bridged that gap. We’ve kind of tried to be a team that’s trying to compete and win things. We’ve come close, you know, we haven’t been able to do it, but that’s not the chairman’s fault that we’ve lost the finals or why we haven’t won a trophy. I think if you look at the spending, we are probably up there in the top four or five. So, probably the recruitment has maybe been a bit of an issue in terms of the players that we’ve brought in over the last few years not…probably not hitting the ground. People have a job to do and I suppose to bring in certain players and I don’t think it’s a talent issue with the players. But, if it doesn’t work and they don’t perform then that’s tough. And, you’re again then searching to kind of bridge that gap again where you’re trying to be a team that’s from the top four or five to a team that’s competing. And until we kind of get that right in terms of bringing in the next phase of players to help us to do that, then it’s going to be tough. So that’s where we are at the moment."
Careful Ledley, you will have the Levy out mob down on you like a ton of bricks for daring to voice an opinion in support of the Chairman.

Forgive my naivety but is Simon a sock account or does he just agree with Sandy on all points? no problem if thats the case, not everyone feels the same and that makes this site better but I do see similar on most of the posts?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Sock account. 1 of Sandy’s many accounts and it’s always “great article sandy”. Very sad but Sandy whole existence on here is to WUM Spurs fans
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Don, so I am a WUM for supporting Daniel Levy. I suppose Ledley King is a WUM as well then.
Honestly mate, there cannot just be one opinon. LEVY OUT. Some of us simply don`t agree with it.
Now your perogative if that is what you want, but don`t go around calling me a WUM, just because I back the Chairman.

Sandy will you stop. How are you the only Spurs fan on the planet that doesn’t see what is going on right now at Spurs right now? We can’t even secure a manager properly or a DOF. The club is an absolute free fall and all you do on here is laugh at the expense of Spurs fans on here. I couldn’t careless about Ledley’s opinion mate. He’s paid by the club so it’s obvious he’s going to come out backing the chairman.

Don, how is having a different opinion laughing at other Spurs fans?
Spurs will appoint a manager in due course, so stop wetting your knickers.
Maybe you should stop listening to clickbait radio shows like Talksport, putting out nonsense rumours about everything Spurs, and form an opinion of your own for once.

I love Ledley, but he is a club ambassador, he won`t dare criticize Levy, even though he would probably love to.

If you read Ledley King's quotation, as made by Sandy, there are enough "ifs" and "buts" and "could have beens" in it, to make a lawyer's head spin.
And those silly idiots on here who think this is "a Sandy article" should go find the full quotation.
Ledley King was one of the greatest defenders to ever play the game for Tottenham. Made the first team at age 18 and was finished by mid twenties due to a congenital bone defect in his knees. We sorely need defenders like King today.
I will say nothing against Ledley King. He is now employed in the club hierarchy as a coach and ambassador (whatever that is). But he has clearly been asked to try take some of the heat off the management, i.e. Levy.
Its politics and Ledley is being a good boy.
But nothing can gainsay the recent history of the club and the mess Levy's lockbox antics has made of it.

Boy oh boy......just look at this excerpt.........
"We’ve kind of tried to be a team that’s trying to compete and win things. We’ve come close, you know, we haven’t been able to do it, but that’s not the chairman’s fault that we’ve lost the finals or why we haven’t won a trophy. I think if you look at the spending, we are probably up there in the top four or five. So, probably the recruitment has maybe been a bit of an issue in terms of the players that we’ve brought in over the last few years not…probably not hitting the ground. "
We lost that final when some idiot player who should never have been in the squad gave away a penalty in the first few minutes, as I remember.
"That's not the chairman's fault"???
Then who's faacking fault is it?
Certainly some one's, and we ALL (except Sandy) know who!
Ledley is being asked to take some heat off of Levy, that's all this is.
Clutching at straws, Sandy.
