Daniel Levy says he is “feeling the pain” with Spurs in the relegation battle
Former Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy admits he “could never have imagined” that Spurs would be in danger of relegation in the Premier League this season. Spurs are currently two points ahead of West Ham in 18th place with only two league rounds left to play.
Roberto De Zerbi’s side travel to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea next Tuesday, but could end up in the relegation zone as early as this weekend if West Ham win away to Newcastle United on Sunday afternoon.

Levy himself, on the other hand, was at Windsor Castle on Wednesday, where he was appointed CBE by the Prince of Wales for his efforts for charity and the local community in Tottenham.
The 64-year-old had been chairman of Tottenham for almost 25 years before he shockingly resigned in September. – Before he left, he was the longest-serving CEO in the Premier League, in many people’s opinion it was about time. But it has not improved since he left.
“Spurs are in my blood”
“All I’m focusing on now is making sure Tottenham stay in the Premier League,” Levy told Sky Sports.
“I could never have imagined this at the beginning of the season. Of course, I’m incredibly disappointed.
“But let’s hope – let’s look forward and really hope that we’re still in the Premier League for next season.
“I feel the pain, but I’m optimistic that we’ll get through this. It’s been very, very tough. But Spurs is in my blood, and as I said, I hope we make it in the end.
When asked about the possibility of Spurs facing Chelsea in the penultimate game of the season, Levy replied:
“Always tough. Never a good place for us. But hopefully this year will be different.
