Jamie Carragher tells Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy to leave the club

Jamie Carragher says Daniel Levy's time should be up as Tottenham chairman.

The former Liverpool defender's comments came in the wake of another damaging home defeat for Spurs, losing at home to Chelsea for the second season running, which leaves the club in 11th place after 15 games played.

Amid speculation over the future of manager Ange Postecoglou, Carragher and fellow Sky Sports pundit Jamie Redknapp believe the focus should rather be on Levy and his role after over two decades at the helm of the club.

"They've changed so many managers," Carragher said. "We talk about Daniel Levy a lot. What Daniel Levy's done here in terms of the training ground and and this for me, this is the best stadium in the world.

"And that's been Daniel Levy's strength in terms of a really stable football club. The stadium he's delivered. He's delivered the training ground.

"It's probably some time for somebody else to come in because to not win a trophy in that period of time, with the manager they've had.

“They've never really got out of the way in the transfer market, they've spent decent money without, you know, blowing other teams out the water. The wage bill is always one of the smallest. And you're never going to get the best players.

"So it might be a time for Daniel Levy - who I've been a supporter of because you look at the actual work that he's doing - but now that work's done, in terms of a stadium and a training ground, someone else needs to be in charge of this football club.”

Redknapp added: "He's had 14 managers in 23 years. That's nearly a manager every year and a half."

Carragher replied: "So he's making the right decision."

Redknapp continued: "Exactly. That's what I'm saying.And it's never him."
