Cristian Romero sends live TV demand to Daniel Levy - but ex-Tottenham star disagrees

Cristian Romero has criticised Tottenham's board for a lack of investment following Sunday's poor 4-3 defeat at home to London rivals Chelsea.

Ange Postecoglou's side blew a commanding 2-0 lead in the London derby to suffer a second successive defeat. Spurs' were also outplayed in a 1-0 reverse at Bournemouth last week.

The defeats, combined with Postecoglou's stubborn resistance to becoming more pragmatic in certain matches or situations at least, have increased the pressure on the Australian. Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy has also been at the centre of frustration with Spurs currently 11th in the Premier League table after 15 games.

And the club's Argentine centre-back Romero has pinned his criticism on Spurs' board - which includes Levy - for not significantly strengthening the club's squad.

"Manchester City competes every year, you see how Liverpool strengthens its squad, Chelsea strengthens their squad, doesn't do well, so strengthens again, and now they're seeing results. Those are the things to imitate," he told Spanish broadcaster Telemundo Deportes on live TV.

"You have to realise that something is going wrong, hopefully, they [the board] realise it. The last few years, it's always the same; first the players, then the coaching staff changes, and it's always the same people responsible.

"Hopefully they realise who the true responsible ones are and we move forward because it's a beautiful club that, with the structure it has, could easily be competing for the title every year."

Levy's work goes under radar - ex-Spurs star

However, former Tottenham midfielder Andros Townsend has shared his belief that Levy's work at Spurs "goes under the radar".

"If you look at what Daniel Levy has done and take it out of this era and put it, 20, 30, 40 years ago, he'd be the best chairman in the world - there would be a statue outside the stadium of him," Townsend said on BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club.

"But because he's competing with Saudi owners, Qatari owners, American owners - all billionaires where they can just spend, spend, spend - his achievements go under the radar."

Tottenham always open to investment - Levy

Levy, who has been chairman at the north Londoners since 2001, has previously shared how the club were looking for "prospective investors".

"To continue to invest in the teams and undertake future capital projects, the club requires a significant increase in its equity base," he said.
