A Tottenham Hotspur fan group has accused the current chairman, Daniel Levy, of ‘killing the club’ when speaking to GB News.
Change for Tottenham has organised a protest against the current ownership of Spurs ahead of the fixture against Manchester United on Sunday.
This follows a difficult period for manager Ange Postecoglou’s side, with Spurs slipping into the bottom half of the table following injury woes and player absences.
Frustration towards Levy has intensified in recent weeks, with chants calling for his departure echoing around the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Spokesman for Change for Tottenham, Jay Coughlan, 28, has been leading the movement and pushing for fans to join the protest.
Speaking to GB News, Coughlan said the anger against the Spurs board “has been building for years” and “it’s become obvious nothing is changing at the club”.
Coughlan sent a message to Levy urging the Chairman to “either care about the footballing priorities or step aside.”
“You are killing a once great football club to improve your own financial wellbeing,” he remarked.
“Us fans deserve to have a voice, we seem to have sat back and let the club slowly lose what we are about.
“The game should be about glory and for us this is why we need protest, it’s a chance for us to unite."
A “peaceful march against the board” is set to occur prior to kick off leading fans to the stadium where they’ll be urged to gather in the south stand of the ground.
After the game fans are urged to applaud the players “no matter the result” and stage a “sit in” at the bottom of the south stand to be in full view of the Chairman.
Coughlan has also examined Spurs’ January window in which three new players were signed to alleviate injury woes, but admits it doesn’t relieve pressure on the ownership.

“We needed these signings, but we needed them earlier!”
“I feel like they can help the team if more of our players return [from injury], but ultimately they felt very reactive rather than proactive,” he added.
Coughlan has also revealed to GB News that the protest at the Manchester United game “is only the start” with “more details to follow” on further action.

The Lilywhites now only remain in the Europa League after being knocked out of both the domestic cup competitions, which should ease the tight fixture schedule.
The competition is potentially their best chance to ensure they play in Europe again in 2025-26, with qualification via the league currently unlikely.
Spurs won't want to drop any lower in the table, currently sitting in 14th after winning only one out of their last eight Premier League matches.
Tottenham Hotspur Football Club were contacted by GB News and declined any comment on the protests.
