Summary at a Glance

At least two thousand fans - by conservative estimate - congregated on Tottenham High Road ahead of the home game against Manchester United to vent at Levy and his company ENIC, before marching some 400 metres to the ground, where the protest continued outside the South Stand.

Sunday's protest by thousands of Tottenham supporters against chairman Daniel Levy and the club's board is unlikely to change anything in the short-term, but it may prove the start of something for frustrated fans.

It was a canny move to begin the protest on the High Road, meaning it organically picked up some of the thousands of fans who routinely walk to games from Seven Sisters station, while there was also an inclusive feel to the event, with CFT urging fans to "be respectful throughout" and "avoid abusive chanting".

It has been a grim few months for the club but there is reason to think the United game marked the start of a new phase of the season for Postecoglou's side, who welcomed back five players to the squad after injury and could have a full roster (aside from Radu Dragusin, who is out for the season) by mid-March.

There have been other protests at Levy in the recent past, including this season, and mass revolts against specific issues, such as the club's proposed move to Stratford and the decision to join the aborted European Super League, but this was by far the most significant anti-Levy and anti-ENIC demonstration ever.
