Will you be ‘one of thousands’ protesting against Tottenham chairman on Sunday?

Just when Spurs fans thought it couldn’t get any worse, the team lose 2-1 to Stoke and have two men red-carded in the process. It’s highly possible that the result would have been different, had Gareth Bale stayed on the pitch, rather than felling Tom Soares as the midfielder ran through on goal. Nevertheless, Tottenham can’t keep making excuses for these defeats when it’s clear they’re just not good enough at the moment.
It appears as though the supporters are prepared to go relatively easy on Juande Ramos at the moment, instead pointing the finger at chairman Daniel Levy for the mess that the team are in. The Daily Mail reports that a protest is planned at White Hart Lane on Sunday, where the fans will demonstrate against someone that they feel has betrayed them.
Tottenham fans will launch a massive protest calling for chairman Daniel Levy to resign at their next home game against Bolton on Sunday.
It is understood that a group of angry supporters have already organised 25,000 leaflets to be handed out at White Hart Lane before the match.
The literature calls on the company that owns Spurs, Enic - of which Levy is managing director - to sell its majority stake to new investors.
Spurs fans are furious that more money hasn’t been invested in the team especially as the club sold star strikers Robbie Keane and Dimitar Berbatov last summer for £51million and only bought one forward in Roman Pavlyuchenko, who has failed to impress.
Tottenham might have anticipated that Dimitar Berbatov would leave in the summer, although Liverpool swooping for Robbie Keane might have supplied them with a bucketload of cash, but it’s also seemingly left them in limbo as far as offensive players are concerned. Not that the rest of the team are looking particularly good, with the midfield neither protecting the defence very well at the moment, nor creating many chances. Do Spurs fans want to see the back of Levy, or should the manager take more of the blame for the club’s current plight?

protest at Levy - he leaves we become just like Newcastle and in January will not have any money to invest because of no chairman willing to invest - there is a recession going on no-one is going to invest in Spurs at the moment - keep Levy - protest after January - anyone who does it before are just stupid - Levy can turn round after the protest and say not investing, stuff it and Spurs will be down - think before protesting - idiots.

i CANNOT BELIEVE NO ONE IS BLAMING RAMOS. HE IS PAID MILLIONS AND JUST SITS THERE, HE SHOULD HAV E DEMANDED THE RIGHT PLAYERS, SO I BELIEVE HE WANTS TO GO HOME TO SPAIN BUT DOES NOT WANT TO LEAVE THE MONEY, SO HE IS WAITING TO BE SACKED.
AT THE MOMENT REGARDLESS OF LEVY OR COMOLLI RAMOS HAS TO GO AND I HAVE A LOW OPINION OF HIM NOW FOR SAYING THIS IS NOT THE RIGHT TIME TO TALK OF WHAT IS GOING ON.
HE WILL PROBABLY DO WELL AT HIS NEXT CLUB, BUT PLEASE ALL LOOK AT HIS OVERALL RECORD. HE HAS HAD MORE CLUBS THAN STEVE BRUCE.
LONG TERM I THINK THE CLUB SHOULD TARGET ROY KEANE AS RUMOUR HAS IT HE SUPPORTS SPURS AND IS REFUSING TO TIE INTO A LONG DEAL AT SUNDERLAND BECAUSE OF IT, HE WILL NOT FOLLOW FERGIE AT MAN URE.

IANO, you have hit the nail on the head mate, the players are not happy, the fans are’nt happy and neither is Ramos, but he isn’t prepared to walk out on £15mill, so the club must either sack him or come to some sort of agreement. Levy get your act together, you let the Berbatov saga drag, now if this situation continues much longer we will be relegated. Get an English speaking boss ASAP, even if its only a temporary one like Venables!

Would love to see keane at Spurs, just wish he had joined last year tho as we would never have sold keane under his leadership.
On the other hand i do believe in Ramos, the problem is he does not have a DOF he can work with. its well documented in spain that spurs nicked the wrong man when they poached Ramos, Sevilla’s success is credited to their DOF and not Ramos. So if we want Sevilla’s success at using the DOF system then we have to nick their DOF. but that wont ever happen. So its probably better to cut our losses and just ditch the DOF system altogether. But i would do my best to get the Sevilla man first, you look at their team and its easy to see he knows how to attract players and makes the right choices, they have come such a long way in such a small amount of time, and Ramos’s departure has not effected them in the slightest, so it must be the players and DOF who got them where they are.
