Daniel Levy has told Tottenham Hotspur’s Supporters’ Trust that he is ‘disappointed’ to hear that there is a feeling of a ‘disconnect’ between fans and the club.

The Spurs chairman also stated that he is ‘very conscious’ about the ‘high expectations’ at the North London outfit following their poor start to the season.

Mauricio Pochettino’s side have endured a number of worrying performances and results from this season – from losing to lower league side Colchester United in the EFL Cup to getting thrashed by Bayern Munich in the Champions League.

Levy told Tottenham Hotspur’s Supporters’ Trust, as posted on their official website, that the club can’t compete with the top-six clubs yet in regards to revenue, as he also reacted to feelings of ‘disconnect’.

“Very conscious of the high expectations [at the club],” Levy told the Trust meeting. “[But] the club is not yet at the same revenue levels as the other top six clubs.”

Levy then pointed out that the club had just ‘delivered a brand new, world-class stadium’ and that revenues would ‘take time to come through’.

Furthermore, Levy admits that he is ‘disappointed’ to hear that there is this feeling of a ‘disconnect’ between fans and the club in regards to fans feeling that they are not, ‘on a number of levels’, being ‘sold something they aren’t getting’.

Winning matches always brightens up the mood and Pochettino will be hoping the worst of Tottenham’s season is behind them as they will be looking for inspiration from last season.

Reaching the Champions League final in the manner in which Spurs did provide the club with arguably some of the greatest moment in their history – feeding off some of that now would work wonders for Pochettino.
