Daniel Levy is talked about more than he talks; in public, anyway. The Spurs chairman’s quotes can be used against him and, a few weeks into Ange Postecoglou’s reign, he said: “We’ve got our Tottenham back.”
Now, with another manager sacked after a reign of 18 months to two years, some would say the comment has a different pertinence. Postecoglou lasted longer than Antonio Conte, Andre Villas-Boas and Jose Mourinho; his eventual tally of 101 games fell just short of Glenn Hoddle (104) and George Graham (108).
