'We want Levi out!'
Angry public sentiment has reached its climax. Banners were hung everywhere, and people were marching on the streets. Impeachment is an irreversible fate. However, it is not a Korean story.
The situation is taking place in the northern part of London, the capital of the United Kingdom. The anger of Tottenham Hotspur fans in the English Premier League (EPL), which is nesting in the region, is exploding without hesitation. Chairman Daniel Levy, who has led the team for more than 20 years, is protesting for his resignation, saying he is increasingly ruining the team.
In the end, it was reported that chairman Levi could also step down from Tottenham. The BBC is the source.
The BBC, a British public broadcaster, reported on the 7th (Korean time) that Chairman Daniel Levy, who has led Tottenham for about 25 years, is likely to retire. Citing sources inside Tottenham, the media said 'President Levi may give up his position if it is for Tottenham. At the moment Tottenham are open about a change in ownership structure. Levy could leave the team if the club's takeover takes place.'

Levy has led Tottenham since 2001. When Britain's ENIC Group took over Tottenham at the time, Levi, an ENIC group executive, has been running the club as chairman of Tottenham. However, it has long been criticized by Tottenham fans. Critics say that the club is not investing properly due to its management policy that only seeks profitability. There was also an opinion that Tottenham did not win for a long time in the way chairman Levi operated.

Such criticism has reached its peak this season. It's almost the level of anger. This is because Tottenham has been recording poor performance almost as a disaster this season. Tottenham, which ranked fifth in the league by appointing coach Enze Postecoglou last season, has seen its performance plummet from the beginning of this season due to a series of injuries to players and Postecoglou's tactical loopholes.
In the end, he is currently ranked 14th in the league (37 points). It is not enough to worry about relegation, but the possibility of entering the top 10 has become slim. On top of that, Tottenham fans' anger reached its peak as they experienced setbacks in succession in the Carabao Cup (final elimination) and the FA Cup (final elimination).
In the end, thousands of fans poured into the streets and chanted 'Levi OUT'.

The Sun, a British media outlet, reported on the 6th that `Thousands of Tottenham fans filled the streets shouting 'I want Levi's exit from the club.' Tottenham fans protested in front of the stadium ahead of the match against Southampton in the 31st round of the 2024-2025 EPL at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England.
What Tottenham fans want is Levy's immediate exit. He claimed that chairman Levi is the main cause of this season's decline in performance.
In fact, these protests and calls for eviction are not yesterday and today. Whenever that happened, Chairman Levi confronted confidently, saying, `What matters is profitability.' However, if the club's governance structure changes, it can leave the team without regret. Tottenham are currently considering changing their governance structure or selling it. There is also the possibility of selling the team. The theory of contact with Qatar's capital flows out. If this actually happens, Chairman Levi should naturally give up his position.
