Here are your Tottenham morning headlines for Wednesday, April 21.
Spurs withdraw from Super League
Spurs officially confirmed the withdrawal from the European Super League late on Tuesday evening, as all six Premier League clubs pulled out of the breakaway league.
That has left the chances of a breakaway league in tatters, with those behind the move accepting that their next steps need to be reconsidered in order to reshape the competition.
Daniel Levy released a written statement with Spurs' notification of their move, adding that the club thanked supporters for their input on the decision, and there was regret that the proposal had been received poorly.
“We regret the anxiety and upset caused by the ESL proposal," Levy wrote.
"We felt it was important that our club participated in the development of a possible new structure that sought to better ensure financial fair play and financial sustainability whilst delivering significantly increased support for the wider football pyramid.
“We believe that we should never stand still and that the sport should constantly review competitions and governance to ensure the game we all love continues to evolve and excite fans around the world.
“We should like to thank all those supporters who presented their considered opinions.”
Levy's 'main reason' for sacking Mourinho
Daniel Levy reportedly sacked Jose Mourinho because he was afraid that several prominent first-team players would leave the club in the summer if the former Chelsea and Manchester United manager remained in charge.
Mourinho was relieved of his duties on Monday morning, less than a week before the Carabao Cup final against Manchester City and with Spurs lying seventh in the Premier League, five points off West Ham in fourth.
Eurosport state that Levy feared as many as 10 first-team players could demand transfers in the summer "after becoming disillusioned by the boss and his style of management".
Apparently, Levy's biggest fears were over the futures of Harry Kane, Dele Alli and Gareth Bale - though the Welsh star is only on loan at Spurs and looks set to return to Real Madrid following the end of his one-year spell back in North London.
What Levy told other Premier League clubs
Daniel Levy reportedly told Brighton chief executive Paul Barber to pass on a message to members of the other 14 Premier League clubs during their meeting on Tuesday.
The Sun state that the Spurs chief conceded "he may have misjudged the mood of the nation", and that the situation was "not what I wanted or expected".
Barber is said to have added: "Daniel says this all grew from a feeling that UEFA simply doesn't listen to us as a league.
"He believes the big clubs deserve more respect and more money."
However, the message was not received positively.
