"I want to win the Premier League and the Champions League."
Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy said he had no choice but to replace manager Enze Postecoglou in order to achieve his new goal. He added that it was not a personal decision to dismiss Postecoglou. "I believe it is the best choice for the club's future," he said.
It all sounds plausible. However, the whole truth is being questioned because the decision was made by Thomas Frank. Tottenham fans are raising their voices of criticism against Levy, who was interviewed.
British media TBR Football reported on the 18th (Korea time) 'Tottenham fans were not impressed at all by Chairman Levi's remarks on the future of Tottenham and the replacement of Postecoglou'

Earlier in the day, President Levy revealed in detail the reasons and process of Postecoglou's replacement through the Tottenham official website channel, his feelings about it and ultimately the team's goals. The most important part of Levy's remarks is Tottenham's new goal. He said "We lifted the Europa League trophy. But this is not enough. What we haven't done yet is more important. I want to win the Premier League and the Champions League" he said.
He then explained that he had no choice but to dismiss Coach Postecoglou, who gave the team the trophy for the first time in 17 years because he set such a critical goal. Chairman Levi `I do not regret the appointment of Postecoglou. I'm feeling really grateful. In the first season of Postecoglou's appointment, the team ranked fifth in the EPL, and in the second season, it won the (Europa League) trophy. It's a great achievement,' he said, praising Postecoglou's achievements.

However, he added that he had no choice but to dismiss Postecoglou immediately. Chairman Levy said "We have decided that we need to be able to compete in every competition, and that we need to change"I still have a good relationship with Postecoglou. He will always be remembered as a member of Tottenham's history, including his family. It was not my individual decision to dismiss it. The board was unanimously held. It was very difficult emotionally, but I thought it was best for the club" he said.

It's a clever remark. By presenting a grand goal, it has secured the legitimacy of the replacement of Postecoglou, while disrupting the responsibility, saying that it was not a personal decision but a decision at the board level.
However, Tottenham fans do not agree with Levy's remarks at all. Although Postecoglou finished 17th in the league in the 2024-2025 season, he has not forgotten his contribution to the team's thirst for victory by winning the Europa League for the first time in 17 years since winning the 2007-2008 League Cup.
In addition, Chairman Levi does not trust his words because he has made countless pledges. According to British public broadcaster BBC, one fan commented 'Failure is not an option. It's Levi's words that have failed for nearly 25 years. He feared that Levi's grand goal would not succeed again.
Another fan says it was emotionally difficult, but Levi has done so many times in the past. It's just a crocodile's tears.' He pointed out that Levi's words about Postecoglou's replacement were close to falsehood.
TBR Football reported criticism from new fans. Fans welcomed Levy's grand goal, but criticized the settled Tottenham club for not making any practical moves to achieve that goal.
Specifically, the move is to recruit only prospects, not top players. One fan said 'We need to recruit existing stars, reorganize the weekly system, and above all, stop recruiting U-21 players.'"
In addition, the fact that coach Frank was brought in saying that he wanted to win the championship is a point that I do not readily understand. Frank has the achievement of promoting Brentford to the EPL in the Championship, but that is it. He has never won a big competition and has never won a top spot in the EPL. I've never even experienced a Champions League stage where Tottenham plays next season. It is questionable whether Frank will be able to achieve his enormous goal of winning the league and winning the Champions League.
