Daniel Levy's statement confirming the departure of Cristian Stellini included several interesting points. Firstly, an open letter from the Tottenham chairman is a rarity, although club announcements including his comments are becoming a regular occurrence with the sixth managerial tenure at Spurs in the last two years about to kick off.
The decision to part company with Stellini arrives after the horrendous 6-1 defeat against Newcastle where Spurs were five goals behind after just 21 minutes. In the part of the statement discussing the loss, Levy openly admitted he is the man responsible, before then going on to say Stellini will be leaving the club with immediate affect.
An interesting way of accepting the blame in the minds of many Spurs supporters. Nonetheless, it was surprisingly transparent from a man who scarcely comments publicly.
