Daniel Levy sends Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte jibe in Tottenham transfer message

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy appears to have aimed a subtle dig at former managers Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte in the first meeting with Spurs' new Fan Advisory Board (FAB). Alongside the main aim of the initiative, which is to improve fan engagement and thus allow representatives from the widest sections of the fanbase to have their say, ongoing situations at the club will also be discussed.

Given the recent appointment of Ange Postecoglou and the summer transfer window on the verge of opening, those two topics were also discussed. In the conference call, Levy made his thoughts surrounding the recent transfer decisions made by the club with a slight jibe at Mourinho and Conte.

"The notion that Tottenham haven’t backed certain managers is incorrect," he was quoted as saying by the club. "We're currently paying the price, perhaps, where some of the acquisitions have not turned out to be as we hoped."
