Daniel Levy has taken responsibility for Tottenham's demise this season after the chairman chose to dismiss caretaker boss Cristian Stellini from his position following the 6-1 defeat to Newcastle on Sunday. Stellini only managed four games with just the one win coming.
Having replaced Antonio Conte in charge, the former assistant was only acting as a placeholder ahead of a permanent appointment but back-to-back losses and nine goals conceded in the space of a week meant it was a step too far.
In a statement, Levy said of the nadir: "Sunday’s performance against Newcastle was wholly unacceptable. It was devastating to see. We can look at many reasons why it happened and whilst myself, the Board, the coaches and players must all take collective responsibility, ultimately the responsibility is mine."
