Ledley King outlines what is not Daniel Levy's fault at Tottenham and why Arsenal give them hope

Ledley King believes that Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy "gets a bit of tough criticism at times". Replacing Lord Alan Sugar as Spurs chairman back in February 2001, the Lilywhites have only managed to win one trophy during Levy's tenure following their League Cup final success in February 2008.

Helping Tottenham rise from mid-table to become European regulars and reach the final of cup competitions on a handful of occasions, including the Champions League in 2019, the team have been unable to get over the final hurdle and their trophy drought currently stands at 15 years. Having fallen away from the top four and with fans desperate to see more investment in the team to help them get back up to their previous heights of only a few years ago, Levy has come in for plenty of criticism from the fanbase and many are now keen to see a change at the top of the club.

Amid the condemnation coming Levy's way, King, speaking on Kammy and Ben's Proper Football Podcast, has opened up on the steps Tottenham have made under the chairman and claimed that Spurs' bad luck in finals cannot be pinned on him.
