# Tottenham Hotspur: Takeover more likely with Daniel Levy facing ‘huge fight’ to keep his job

**According to a report by [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-tottenham-takeover-on-the-cards-as-esl-catastrophe-leaves-levy-in-fight-to-save-his-job/), a Tottenham takeover is on the cards and even more likely than ever after the European Super League disaster – with chairman Daniel Levy now facing a ‘huge fight’ to keep his job.**

### Tottenham takeover claim lifts lid on Levy blow

Indeed, as per [the outlet,](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-tottenham-takeover-on-the-cards-as-esl-catastrophe-leaves-levy-in-fight-to-save-his-job/) this comes after a reported £800 million deal with unnamed investors fell through last year for a 50 per cent stake in Tottenham.

It is also reported by [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-tottenham-takeover-on-the-cards-as-esl-catastrophe-leaves-levy-in-fight-to-save-his-job/) that Levy was a key figure in the failed talks, and a financial source even accused him of not wanting to cede control in the day to day running of Spurs.

In an update, they report that a takeover is more likely now than in previous years and the European Super League saga has only increased that possibility further.

Alongside the larger possibility of a takeover, FI also claim Levy is facing a ‘huge fight’ to keep his job after the ESL travesty and tarnishing of the club’s reputation.

### Transfer Tavern take

Tottenham signed up to the closed Super League alongside an English ‘big six’ of Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, Man United and Man City – with the club receiving swift backlash for their involvement.

Eventually, all English sides pulled out of the controversial arrangement after large protests from the fans and media alike – leaving a bitter taste.

In a potentially big blow for Levy, it appears that this decision could fall heavily on him judging by this FI report – perhaps he will be the next big figure to leave following the PR catastrophe after [Ed Woodward](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11667/12283715/ed-woodward-man-utd-executive-vice-chairman-resigned-over-belief-he-could-not-support-super-league-plans) resigned at Manchester United.

Supporters were[seen protesting](https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/tottenham-protests-daniel-levy-enic-23957022) before the Southampton game against ENIC Group and Levy – evidence that the ESL saga has only worsened an already rocky relationship with supporters.
