Daniel Levy is facing more protests against his Tottenham Hotspur chairmanship with fans being urged to take part in a sit-in after Sunday’s home game against Manchester United.

Tottenham supporters have been chanting against Levy in recent weeks and there have been protests inside and outside the club’s stadium.

Now fans are being urged by a protest group to gather in the South Stand lower after the United game for a staged protest to display their displeasure at Levy and the Spurs board.

The protestors are determined not to attempt to organise anything that impacts the support for the players during games, which is why they want to stage a sit-in after the final whistle.

In a poster that has been shared online this week, the protestors say: “No matter the result, applaud the players as they leave the pitch. Show them our appreciation for their efforts.

“Once the players have left the pitch, remain in the stadium and gather in the South Stand lower for a sit-in protest. From there, we will make it clear to the board – who will hear us from their luxury lounge – that enough is enough.”

Supporters are also being encouraged to meet on the South Stand concourse ahead of kick-off to “make your voice heard” and there is a planned pre-game march which is due to stop outside the West Stand.

Protestors have been encouraged to bring flags and banners, but have been reminded not to chant abuse or take part in any aggressive behaviour.

The protest poster says: “This is about passion, pride and protecting our club from greed-driven failure. ENIC has profited immensely from Tottenham Hotspur while neglecting their responsibility as true custodians of our great club.”

The protestors have also produced a video that has been shared over social media and among fan groups.

Tottenham were last week eliminated from both domestic cup competitions and are 14th in the Premier League table, one place below Sunday’s opponents United.

Levy has held off rushing into a decision on the future of head coach Ange Postecoglou, instead waiting to see how the team perform when injured players start to return.

One group of absentees, including Destiny Udogie and goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, are on their way back and there is a belief that the Europa League could still effectively save Tottenham’s season.

Spurs are through to the last-16 of the competition and winning it would not only end the club’s long trophy drought, but would also clinch Champions League qualification for next season.
