The real reason Daniel Levy was fired was revealed by Simon Jordan, who fired back at Jose Mourino’s dig in Tottenham.
Jose Mourinho’s dig at Tottenham Hotspur didn’t sit well with Simon Jordan.
Daniel Levy still gets hurt over the trophy-winning manager from Tottenham’s dugout, even if it was two years ago.
The current Roma coach, John Obi Mikel, called it “the most ridiculous” that he was fired by Spurs only days before their League Cup final matchup with Manchester City in a recent interview with the former Chelsea midfielder.
He then went on to criticise the London team further, telling The One Obi Podcast that they had a “empty trophy room” and that it has been “50 years” since they have won a league championship.
Daniel Levy is close with Simon Jordan, the former owner of Crystal Palace, who was quick to shut down the vocal manager by telling him to “get it right” and pointing him that Spurs won the FA Cup in 1991 and the League Cup in 2008.
.
Simon Jordan was also quick to note that the players went to the owner and demanded that Jose Mourinho be fired, which is why he was ejected from Hotspur Way, he told talkSPORT.
However, the English businessman’s criticism wasn’t directed only at the 60-year-old; he also compared the former boxer to the legendary Mohammed Ali.
The reasons Daniel Levy fired Jose Mourinho from Tottenham
Jordan said, “Jose is promoting his particular idea.” First off, there isn’t quite a 50-year gap considering Tottenham won the FA Cup in 1991 and the League Cup in 2008. José, please do it correctly.Jordan said, “Jose is promoting his particular idea.” First off, there isn’t quite a 50-year gap considering Tottenham won the FA Cup in 1991 and the League Cup in 2008.

“But I would have asked him, is it true that the players got so fed up with you that they went to the owner and said they didn’t want to play for you anymore?
“I think he knows why he got binned at Tottenham. I just think he is self-effacing to everybody, more often than not, there is a media face and then there is the face behind the scenes of being able to attend to the circumstances you find yourself in.
How is he going to respond? To be honest, being humble is not Jose Mourinho’s speciality, nor should it be. He has made it his speciality to enter a room and declare, “I’m not one for the bottle.” I am unique among us.
“And then to antagonise everybody by delivering precisely what he said was going to deliver, which had been unheard of, at the time. He was the Muhammed Ali of football management. He walked into a room, told everyone what he was going to do, told everybody he was the greatest thing and went about proceeding to prove that point.”
It has been over two decades since Levy sat in the hotseat at White Hart Lane, yet the club only have one trophy to show for it.
Even if Ange Postecoglou and the football style he has brought to Spurs have made everything seem quite bright right now, there are still disagreements between coaches like Mourinho and Antonio Conte that may offend certain people, but they still award medals.
It’s true that Spurs are enjoying success right now, particularly with the addition of Ange Postecoglou and the playing style he has brought with him.
As soon as results start going the wrong way, the criticism from the fans will soon turn towards Levy because it wasn’t so long ago that the supporters were calling for their heads.
