Spurs chief turns thoughts to bright future
Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy has urged supporters not to let the club’s failure to land a Champions League spot spoil an otherwise promising season.
Spurs slipped out of the all-important fourth spot in the Premiership when losing to West Ham on the final day of the campaign while arch-rivals Arsenal were beating Wigan.
Yesterday, the Premier League quashed any hopes of having that match replayed due to the fact that 10 Tottenham players were hit by a bout of food poisoning on the day of the game.
Levy was naturally disappointed with that decision but told Spurs fans: “I have received many emails of support from you, our fans, welcoming our stand on this lack of fair play and I thank you for those.
“A recurring theme is the pride you all felt in our ’heroes’ on the pitch on Sunday and that you are looking forward to our return to Europe.
“It has been a great season and we should refuse to let this mar the achievements of it and the optimism with which we will now greet the new season.”
However, Levy did also hit out at the appeal decision, saying he despaired at the state of the rules, which did not take into account such matters as food poisoning.
