6. Levy Smelling Of Roses
A lot of criticism has been directed at Daniel Levy, not least by me. The efficient way he runs Spurs as a business is undeniable, as is the obvious improvement in the club's league positions since he took over twelve years ago, but there is an obvious lack of conviction in the transfer market when it comes to sealing signings (see Leandro Damiao, Joao Moutinho, Christian Benteke and David Villa for details) and, despite his hard-balling, he has given in and sold the likes of Michael Carrick, Dimitar Berbatov and Luka Modric. This year, Spurs fans expect things to be different. Levy is expected to shun the advances of Real Madrid (who, frankly, should be punished for their blatant attempts to 'tap up' Spurs' star player) and finally make the all-important world class striker signing that Spurs have so desperately needed for so long. If Levy fails to deliver on either of those fronts, he can expect a huge backlash from the Spurs fans who are, frankly, sick to death of being pipped to the post when it comes to qualifying for Europe's elite club competition each season.
