Jamie Carragher calls on Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy to be REPLACED – and insists ‘someone else needs to be in charge of this football club’ as pressure mounts on Ange Postecoglou after Spurs’ 4-3 defeat by Chelsea

Jamie Carragher has called on Tottenham to make a change in the club’s hierarchy by replacing chairman Daniel Levy, stating: ‘Someone else needs to be in charge.’

Spurs slumped to a humbling 4-3 defeat against London rivals Chelsea on Sunday after originally taking an early two-goal lead, only to crumble in the second-half.

Cole Palmer topped Chelsea’s comeback win with a Panenka penalty that takes the Blues to within four points of Premier League leaders Liverpool, while Spurs remain trapped in the bottom half of the table.

Ange Postecoglou‘s inconsistent Spurs squad again faltered and Carragher was ruthless in his assessment of the club’s current running under Levy.

The businessman became Tottenham chairman in 2001 at just 38-years-old and has been the ruling force on multiple managers and players during that reign, with Postecoglou the latest boss to come under pressure.

His tenure has coincided with Spurs winning just one piece of silverware – the 2007/08 League Cup – and swathes of supporters have previously called for Levy to vacate his position.

Now, Liverpool legend Carragher has suggested the club could be more successful under the guidance of a new chairman. 

‘It’s probably time for somebody else to come in because to not win a trophy in that period of time with the managers they have had, they’ve never really gone out of their way in the transfer market,’ Carragher said on Sky Sports.

‘They’ve spent decent money without blowing other teams out of the water, their wage bill is always one of the smallest and you’re never going to get the best players.

‘So it might be time for actually Daniel Levy – who I’ve been a supporter of because you look at the actual work that he’s done – but now that works done in terms of a stadium and a training ground, someone else needs to be in charge of this football club,’ he added.

Former Spurs midfielder Jamie Redknapp further highlighted Levy’s at times controversial decisions to change managers, adding: ‘He’s had 14 years managers in 23 years, that’s a manager nearly every year-and-a-half, something has to change.’  

‘Well he’s not making the right decisions if he’s changing manager that often,’ replied Carragher.

Levy has not signalled any intention to step down from his position at the club and would likely rule on any decision to replace Postecoglou should the Australian’s recent struggles continue.

Speaking after his side’s disappointing home defeat against Chelsea, Postecoglou attempted to rally his players by insisting they can still turn their season around.

‘It went like that last year. It’s not like since I have been here this is unusual territory,’ said the Spurs head coach.

‘Ultimately, my role now is to focus on the things I can control and keep preparing the team the best we can to keep progressing as a football team and turn our season around.’
