There were empty seats in the directors’ box and chants calling for the chairman to go. Admittedly, it is the Everton board who have to stay away from Goodison Park while it was the Tottenham Hotspur supporters chorusing “we want Levy out” and “Daniel Levy, get out of our club”. Discontent with the powerbrokers is not confined to either of these clubs.
And if Levy may be entitled to point out that Everton, with their heavy spending in the Farhad Moshiri era, would scarcely complain if they were fourth now, that would not quell the dissent. But the most pertinent part of the songbook may have been an old favourite: “He’s magic, you know, Mauricio Pochettino.” Tellingly, it was aired several times.
