We want Levy out

The New Paper

TOTTENHAM Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy can expect a hostile reception at their next home game against Bolton on Sunday.

A newly-formed fans group will launch a massive protest calling for Levy to resign.

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.

Protest organisers will ask home supporters to hold up the leaflets for the first five minutes of the match before concentrating on getting behind the team, who are now three points adrift at the bottom of the Premier League after the 2-1 defeat at Stoke on Sunday.

Worst start

Manager Juande Ramos may have guided Spurs to the worst start to a league campaign in their history, but many supporters blame Levy for their plight.

Many fans are also angry that the Spurs chairman has yet to axe sporting director Damien Comolli, who was responsible for signing most of the players since he was appointed in 2005 with little success.

Comolli was sitting alongside Levy at the Victoria Ground, although the Frenchman's position is still believed to be vulnerable.

Levy refused to comment on Ramos' future yesterday, but it is understood that the club remain determined to stick by the Spaniard, who has three more years to run on his big-money contract.
