King urges Daniel Levy to change one Tottenham policy after what he saw v Liverpool

Daniel Levy needs to change one policy at Tottenham if the club are to be as successful on the pitch as they are off it.

Levy’s brilliance when it comes to making money off the field in North London can’t be denied, with Spurs set for yet another big payday after a recent club announcement [via the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium website, 17 December].

However, the chairman hasn’t seen much success on the pitch during his time with the club, with the 6-3 Premier League defeat to Liverpool at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday [22 December], which left Gary Neville laughing at one player, the latest example of Spurs’ footballing shortcomings.

Supporters protested against Levy during the match, and ex-Spurs scout Bryan King – speaking exclusively to Tottenham News – has told the 62-year-old what must change.

“Spurs looked very ordinary against a very good team in Liverpool,” King said.

“Levy has a wage structure in place at the club, there is a limit on how much players are paid. Based on what I saw against Liverpool, if they want to compete near the top of the league, then that structure needs to change.

“It is entertaining football, but you want to be competing and winning. There was such a gulf between Liverpool and Tottenham, and it shows in the quality of the squads. Therefore, if the club want to bridge that gap, they need to reconsider the players they’re bringing in.

“You’ve got to sign those top players if you want to compete.”

Daniel Levy must make more ambitious signings at Tottenham

It is one thing to pay a big fee for a player. However, if a football club wants to attract the best of the best, they will also need to pay big wages.

Therefore, if Spurs want to start competing for Premier League and UEFA Champions League titles, they need to start paying those big wages.

It is clear that Ange Postecoglou needs reinforcements in January, as speculation continues to swirl around his future.

As a result, the Australian will be hopeful that Levy gets the chequebook out over the next month.
