Fans turn on Levy as Tottenham face new low in familiar cycle of failure

Supporters protest again at chairman’s culture of ‘profit before glory’ but so far they are sparing beleaguered manager Ange Postecoglou

The worn-down, grim-faced Tottenham fans. The protest banners. The chants. It is a scene we are familiar with, the anti-Daniel Levy movement, mobilised on the High Road outside the stadium he built, and we are about to see it again.

The last time was before the Premier League game against Liverpool on 22 December and there were a couple of hundred there, along with the obligatory rubber-neckers, including the photographers who filed their pictures back to the news desks. It is amazing how the tight-angle shots come across. The tourists got out their cameraphones. Of course they did.
