Former Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy has spoken about his experience of watching Spurs this season and has revealed what he thinks about the club\u2019s relegation battle.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Many Tottenham fans were delighted to see the back of Levy when he parted ways with the club back in September of last year after 24 years as the club\u2019s chairman.<\/p>\n

\n

However, little would have the supporters guessed at that point that the Lilywhites would find themselves battling for survival in their first season without their former supremo at the helm.<\/p>\n

The current Spurs hierarchy, headed by CEO Vinai Venkatesham, have made some poor decisions, not least the appointment of Igor Tudor, which has left the North Londoners at the risk of going down for the first time in nearly half a century.<\/p>\n

Daniel Levy admits he has felt the pain watching Tottenham from afar<\/h2>\n

The former Spurs chairman has confessed that it has not been easy watching the club he loves go through the kind of struggles they have this season.<\/p>\n

Levy admitted that he could never have seen this coming but remains optimistic that Roberto De Zerbi\u2019s men will stay in the top-flight.<\/p>\n

When asked about watching Spurs this season, Levy told Sky Sports: \u201cIt\u2019s been very difficult, but Spurs are in my blood, I am hopeful that we will be OK in the end.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked about Tottenham having three different managers this term, he said: \u201cI could never have envisaged this at the beginning of the season. Obviously, incredibly disappointed but let\u2019s hope and look forward that next season we are still in the Premier League. I\u2019m feeling the pain, but I\u2019m optimistic that we will get through it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Levy is hopeful Spurs can get a result against Chelsea<\/h2>\n

De Zerbi\u2019s men have a two-point lead over West Ham with two games to go, and while they still have their fate in their own hands, they face Chelsea away next.<\/p>\n

Despite the Lilywhites\u2019 poor record at Stamford Bridge historically, Levy is hopeful that Tottenham can get a positive result in West London next week.<\/p>\n

When asked about Spurs\u2019 hopes of staying up, Levy siad: \u201cI\u2019m always optimistic, and I pray every day that we will.\u201d On the upcoming London derby, the 64-year-old added: \u201cAlways tough, never a good place for us but hopefully this year is going to be different!\u201d<\/p>\n
