FUMING Tottenham supporters took to the streets chanting “we want Levy out” in a protest against the club’s ownership.
Fed-up fans launched the biggest backlash of Levy’s reign just hours ahead of Spurs’ crunch clash against Manchester United this afternoon.
The demo was organised by season-ticket holders under the name ‘Change for Tottenham’.
And thousands of irate supporters took to the street outside the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the biggest protest of Levy’s 24-year reign.
Exclusive footage captured by SunSport showed fans singing songs and chanting “we want Levy out” while players prepared to take on Ruben Amorim’s Red Devils.
They then marched around the concourse outside the ground as numerous banners were held aloft.
One sign read: “Profits before glory. Enough is enough. ENIC out, Levy out.”
Another said: “Our game is about glory. Levy’s game is about greed.”
One sign declared: “24 years, 16 managers, 1 trophy. Time for change.”
Another added: “We want our club back. Levy out.”
The protestors hope that the pressure forces majority owners ENIC to sell up while also forcing chairman Levy out.
But there could yet be more demonstrations later today despite one supporter spotted waving a ‘Levy In’ banner.
After the match against United, the same group of fans plan on staging a sit-in in the South Stand.
Asked if the anti-Levy feeling is the worst it has ever been, Change for Tottenham’s Jamie Coughlan said: “By far. We’ve had the promises broken every single time.
“It’s by far the most vigilant fans have been on the way the club acts.
“If you look at 2019, we were battling to win a Champions League final.
“Fast forward five years and realistically we’re in a relegation fight.”
Spurs currently sit 15th ahead of their clash with United, with the visitors two points ahead in 14th.
The Londoners have not won a trophy since 2008’s League Cup.
And their wages-to-turnover ratio is the lowest in the league at 42 per cent — despite being the ninth-richest club in the world.
Change for Tottenham hope that by fans showing their discontent for Levy and ENIC, an interested party could be tempted to come forward and buy the £4billion-valued side.
Coughlan added: “It will show that the fans are unhappy with the ownership which could then force somebody into saying, ‘Do you know what, I’m going to try, I’m going to test the waters and see if Tottenham would be interested in selling’.”

SHOPPERS are racing to get to Asda, eager to check out the mega 90% off sale.
Not only are there mattress and sheet protectors that have been slashed, but there’s even a handy winter essential that will keep you warm without heating.
So if you’re reluctant to turn on your central heating as a result of rising costs, then fear not, you’ve come to the right place.
And don’t worry if the cost of living crisis has meant that you’re on a tight budget, as this bargain buy is super cheap.
Not only is the brilliant gadget incredibly affordable, but it’s perfect for snuggly nights in bed too.
Many bargain hunters were left open-mouthed by the impressive deals in Asda – and one shopper, Jade Blyth, took to social media to alert others to the discounts.
Posting on Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, a private Facebook group with 2.6 million members, Jade shared snaps of her finds and beamed: “All these winter bits are 90% off in Asda!!
“Lots left in Fareham Asda in the bedding section.”
Not only did Jade get her hands on two teddy fleece pillows for just 70p, but she also nabbed a single mattress protector for only £1.
As well as this, she got a double mattress protector for £1.20 and a king mattress protector for just £1.40.
Not only this, but numerous other shoppers spotted the Silentnight Comfort Control Electric Blankets, which have now been slashed down to just £2.20.
One shopper named Dawn Simpson nabbed two of the blankets and also flocked to Facebook to show off her haul.
Alongside her post, she penned: “REDUCED to £2.20 each at my local Asda in Dewsbury today.”
As well as this, another shopper named Chelsea Thombs flocked to Facebook to show off the cheap winter gadget.
Property expert Joshua Houston shared his tips.
1. Curtains
“Windows are a common place for the outside cold to get into your home, this is because of small gaps that can let in air so always close your curtains as soon as it gets dark,” he said.
This simple method gives you an extra layer of warmth as it can provide a kind of “insulation” between your window and curtain.
2. Rugs
“Your floor is another area of your home where heat can be lost and can make your home feel chilly,” he continued. “You might notice on cold days, that your floor is not nice to walk on due to it freezing your feet.
“Add rugs to areas that don’t already have a carpet, this provides a layer of insulation between your bare floor and the room above.”
3. Check your insulation
Check your pipes, loft space, crawlspaces and underneath floorboards.
“Loose-fill insulation is very good for this, and is a more affordable type of insulation, with a big bag being able to be picked up for around £30,” Joshua explained.
4. Keep your internal doors closed
“Household members often gather in one room in the evening, and this is usually either the kitchen or living room,” Joshua said.
“This means you only have to heat a small area of your home, and closing the doors keeps the heat in and the cold out.”
5. Block drafts
Don’t forget to check cat flaps, chimneys and letterboxes, as they can let in cold air if they aren’t secure.
Alongside the cheap buy, which has been reduced from £16 to just £2.20, Chelsea beamed: “These were in the reduced section however there was more on the bedding aisle!!”
The electric blankets, which have been slashed by £13.80, are suitable for single beds and will ensure you stay warm and cosy during colder nights.
They are made from snuggly fleece material and are super soft to touch.
But they are also durable, providing added comfort to your mattress.
It’s a godsend when you’re old, nice and cosy and keeping warm in bed
Facebook user
They have three heat settings so that you can adjust to a temperature that is just right for you.
And if that wasn’t enough, these heated blankets also feature overheat protection for total peace of mind.
The chain praised the electric blanket as ‘an energy efficient and affordable way to stay warm for less’.
According to Asda, pre-heating your bed for one hour on a low heat setting costs as little as 1p, so you can afford to cosy up night after night.
Facebook users were left beaming with the affordable sale find and many eagerly flocked to the comments to express this.
MARTIN Lewis' MoneySavingExpert shared six gadgets that can help you keep the heating off but stay warm.
Heating “the human not the home” means you warm yourself instead of turning on the heating and heating the whole house.
This can save money on your heating bill and means you don’t have to sit in the cold.
One person said: “Wow, that’s good!!”
Another added: “That’s a great deal.”
A third commented: “Need to have a look.”
Wondered why I just saw a woman with about 10 of these at the till
Facebook user
At the same time, one bargain hunter claimed: “We got four yesterday.”
Meanwhile, another chimed in: “Saw a man at my local with two trolleys full of these. Now I know why.”
As well as this, another Asda shopper shared: “Wondered why I just saw a woman with about 10 of these at the till.”
Not only are shoppers racing to get one of these heated blankets before they sell out, but one happy shopper explained: “Got mine before Christmas.
“It’s a godsend when you’re old, nice and cosy and keeping warm in bed.”

GOGGLEBOX legends Dave and Shirley have revealed that there is one show they refuse to watch, saying there’s ‘no need for it.’
The pair are one of the most popular couples on the Bafta award-winning TV show.
Based in Caerphilly, Wales, the TV stars, both in their 60s, joined the Channel 4 show in 2015.
Known for their dry wit and a similar sarcastic sense of humour, the couple soon became a fan favourite.
And, as is the premise of Gogglebox, they sit down to watch various TV shows and provide commentary on them.
But asked at this year’s TV Choice Awards whether there’s a show they’ll refuse to watch, Shirley was quick to answer, saying: “Naked Attraction.”
Shirley went on: “I watch it, but when you think of it, the first time you see someone is with no clothes on. There’s no need.”
Naked Attraction, hosted by Anna Richardson, has been shocking audiences since 2016 with its risqué concept.
Contestants in the lineup reportedly have to remain nude for the majority of the 12-hour filming process
Dave then joked that Shirley will be there hiding her eyes from the screen, while he’s doing the opposite.
While chatting to The Sun at the awards, Dave and Shirley also praised the younger stars of Gogglebox, for their success in the showbiz industry.
They said: “It’s really lovely to see them all doing well. We’ve just chatted to Joe Baggs down there who’s interviewing for Lorraine.”
Reality TV stars Dave and Shirley have been leaving fans in stitches for years since they made their show debut in 2015 but have never been joined by any of their other family members like some of their co-stars.
Apart from their pet pooch, Dave and Shirley have opted to keep their relatives away from the Channel 4 spotlight.
It led their almost 200,000 Instagram followers to go into a frenzy when they spotted a rare photo of their son, Simon.
Dave and Shirley left their fans hot under the collar thanks to the cheeky shirtless snap last year, with many quick to jump on how ‘hot’ their son was.
Heavily tattooed Simon posed for the camera as he donned nothing other than a pair of yellow shorts and a baseball cap as he flashed the flesh in the picture.
Commenting on his impressive body, Dave appeared to jokingly caption the snap: “Just like his farther ripped # gogglebox #dubai.”
Taking their chance, many of their fans were left pondering if handsome Simon was single and looking to date.
One fan said: “Is he single lol.”
Another excitedly shared: “Wow! ! ! He’s proper fit!”
“He’s hot,” decalred a third as a fourth added a slew of love-heart-eyed emoji’s before quipping: “Oh hello.”
These are the celebrity pairings that are taking part in the special for Stand Up To Cancer.
STACEY Solomon is set to visit her brother on a stunning ski trip holiday – yet The X Factor alum has a handful of “secret” siblings that often go under the radar.
While the mum of five, 35, often showcases elder sister Jemma, dubbed The Label Lady, on her social media – she has a wider family who prefer a quiet life.
These include brothers Matthew, who created a tattoo for the star but is rarely seen on social media, and half-brother Josh, 18.
In a recent Instagram video, Stacey filmed in her Barbie pink laundry room as she tackled her household chores.
She told her followers: “I’m starting to pack up our cases to see my brother in Switzerland.
“And while we are there we are going to ski, because obviously there is snow there.
“And this is the ski suit my husband has chosen to take with him – this,” before pointing out a brightly-coloured ski suit lying on the floor.
As well as her brothers, she has eldest sister Samantha Stone, who works as a PT.
She previously stunned fans as she shared a snap of the pair working out together.
It came ahead of middle sister Jemma’s telly debut on ITV daytime series, This Morning.
The Sort Your Life Out host also has another step-brother that opts to keep their life private.
Speaking to her Instagram followers previously – after she told how she was waiting for Samantha at Stansted Airport – she said: “Loads of you have been asking ‘oh my God, I didn’t realise you had another sister, where have you been hiding her?’
“She is actually my step sister but I never call her that. We grew up together.
“Altogether there’s seven of us – one step sister, two step brothers, my brother and sister, and then I have a half-brother.
“I would never call them my steps – that feels weird.
“We grew up brothers and sisters.
Stacey Solomon has been a familiar face on viewers' screens for over a decade. Let's take a look back at her career.
The X Factor (2009): Stacey competed in series six of long-running ITV singing competition The X Factor. During her time in the show, she was mentored by Danni Minogue in the ‘Girls’ category. The star finished in third place, behind Joe McElderry and Olly Murs.
I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here (2010); In late 2010, Stacey headed to the infamous I’m A Celeb Aussie jungle. After 21 days, she triumphed to win the tenth series. It was through I’m A Celeb that she met future husband Joe Swash – who’d won two years earlier and was hosting the ITV2 spinoff.
Celebrity Juice (2011―2013, 2016―2019): The star appeared as a panellist on 21 episodes of the comedy panel game show hosted by Keith Lemon. Stacey was a regular in the 21st series, broadcast in 2019.
Loose Women (2016 – present): Stacey has been a permanent panel member of the daytime show since 2016. She previously made guest appearances in 2011 and 2012.
Sort Your Life Out (2022 -present): This BBC show sees Stacey, with the help of an expert team, transform participants’ living spaces after removing clutter.
“You may have seen her before on my story – but years ago.”
Stacey’s half brother Josh appears eager to follow in Stacey’s musical footsteps, releasing tracks on Spotify.
He has also has a TikTok page where he shares the secrets behind his songwriting process.
The pair previously appeared together on Instagram where they poked fun of their pimples.
She wrote: “I love my little brother so much that I appear to be experiencing sympathy puberty. Or at least that’s what we’ve called it.
“Had the best laugh with my little bro tonight talking about all things hormone induced and I’m grateful to my spots for making that happen. Love you, Josh!”
THE cost of a grocery staple has soared to record levels meaning shoppers face choosing between a price hike or going without.
As British farmers look for ways to increase their profit margins and as meat imports are on the rise, prices are expected to inflate further.
Record-high farmgate prices have already led to a jump in value and it seems beef has been set to follow suit.
Recent analysis of the fresh meat lines sold at the UK’s top 10 supermarkets shows 43 per cent of them have risen in price.
The report for Grocer magazine by analysts at Associa has compared the protein’s value for money since the start of the year.
Prices paid to farmers are at a record high of 630p per kilo, recorded on February 8th, an increase of 11.4 per cent since the beginning of January and 24.7 per cent higher than a year ago.
While some increases can be absorbed, it has meant that so far this year, supermarket prices of mince are up by an average of 5.4 per cent but for beef roasting joints specifically a rise of 17 per cent has been seen.
The biggest hike was a 40 per cent increase for an ‘XXL’ sized 30-day ‘matured beef roasting joint’ in Lidl while Ocado’s Aberdeen Angus Rump steak is 27 per cent more than it’s value on January 1.
Sirloin steaks are, on average, up 8 per cent so far in 2025.
Domestic cattle supply this year is forecast to be down by five per cent to 885,000 tonnes compared to last year.
Although sales of beef have risen, farmers have seen profits squeezed due to higher production and other costs, leading them to reduce herds in favour of alternative forms of income.
Hannah Clarke, lead analyst for the industry body, AHDB, forecast a 12 per cent increase in imported beef this year compared to 2024.
Clarke said: “The wide price differential between British and Irish cattle prices that opened up during the year was likely a key driver of increased trade, as well as robust domestic UK demand for beef.”
While beef sales in supermarkets were up 8.5 per cent in value and 2.1 per cent in volume, this year could see a downturn if higher prices force shoppers to choose alternatives.
Clarke added: “The price evolution of beef at retail will be a key watchpoint for the price-conscious consumer.”
That’s not the only item on shoppers’ weekly lists that have been victim to soaring prices.
Following the Budget tax raid shoppers have faced a huge blow as fruit and veg prices continue on up.
Two supermarkets, Sainsbury’s and Tesco, have been forced to issue statements acknowledging the predicted hike.
At her first Budget in October, Rachel Reeves introduced tax rises amounting to £40billion – including raising the rate of employer National Insurance contributions.
This, alongside increasing minimum wage, could raise the cost of growing fruit and vegetables by 10 to 12 per cent, the British Growers Association (BGA) has warned.
Suppliers will be unlikely to be able to absorb the increase themselves, due to the new National Insurance changes.
And the same is true of supermarkets – who will likely be forced pass on at least some of the burden to their customers, it is believed.
Sainsbury’s, which previously warned that the Budget would cost them an extra £140million, has admitted it is feeling the pinch.
CEO Simon Roberts said that the chain would need to work with its suppliers to minimise the impact on customers.
He told The Grocer: “Suppliers have got costs coming at them as well, of course, given all of the changes in National Insurance coming.
“We’ll be working really closely to make sure that between us, we find the best answers we can and we continue to give customers the best value that we possibly can.”
THERE are plenty of ways to save on your grocery shop.
You can look out for yellow or red stickers on products, which show when they’ve been reduced.
If the food is fresh, you’ll have to eat it quickly or freeze it for another time.
Making a list should also save you money, as you’ll be less likely to make any rash purchases when you get to the supermarket.
Going own brand can be one easy way to save hundreds of pounds a year on your food bills too.
This means ditching “finest” or “luxury” products and instead going for “own” or value” type of lines.
Plenty of supermarkets run wonky veg and fruit schemes where you can get cheap prices if they’re misshapen or imperfect.
For example, Lidl runs its Waste Not scheme, offering boxes of 5kg of fruit and vegetables for just £1.50.
If you’re on a low income and a parent, you may be able to get up to £442 a year in Healthy Start vouchers to use at the supermarket too.
Plus, many councils offer supermarket vouchers as part of the Household Support Fund.
LONDON is one step closer to becoming the first capital city in the world to feature a surf park.
The £50million project would transform around 100 acres of land in Lee Valley Regional Park.
And now The Wave, which brought a “slice of the ocean” to Bristol, has appointed Endless Surf as its technology partner.
It will be The Wave’s second destination and builds on the success of its surf park in Bristol.
The project, which has been in development for a number of years, will make London the first capital city in the world to feature a surf park.
The project will progress using Endless Surf’s technology and construction solutions, which will help to overcome challenging site conditions.
Public consultation on the revised plans for the site at Lee Valley Leisure Complex in Edmonton, in the London Borough of Enfield, is due to take place in March.
The team aims to submit a planning application in the spring.
Hazel Geary, CEO of The Wave, said: “London has long been in our sights, as part of our mission to share the health benefits of water and waves with people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities.
“We have been working closely with Lee Valley Regional Park Authority to progress plans for this incredible, but underused, land in the London Borough of Enfield.
“London is one of the world’s most dynamic and influential cities – and with its diverse population, strong sports culture, and high volume of visitors, it is the perfect location for an inland surfing experience.”
There are plenty of other water attractions opening in the UK, including Emerge Surf – a new £50million surfing park near Coleshill in North Warwickshire.
The main attraction will be a 5.4 acre surf lagoon WaveGarden creating 1,000 waves an hour up to two metres tall along with lessons and rentals.
An urban beach would also be created, which will be the largest in Europe.
There will also be an outdoor heated pool as well as a skateboarding track and outdoor playground.
Restaurants, a coffee shop, retail stores and a co-working space would also be on-site.
A similar £55million attraction will open near Edinburgh this year with a beachfront and surf lagoon.
Also the £50million The Seahive in Deal near Kent will have a wave pool, splash area and hotel.
The Seahive founder Jim Storey said he created the project due to Kent‘s lack of surf despite it’s long coastline.
He said: “Kent is not renowned for its surfing at all, in fact, a lot of people who love surfing drive six hours to Cornwall or hop on a flight somewhere abroad.”
First announced back in 2019, the £250milion waterpark will have huge swimming pools, 35 slides and an indoor beach.
Steam rooms and saunas, a swim up bar and “living” waterslides will also be included when it opens in 2025.
PRESENTER Myleene Klass has dressed to impress in a black lace show-stopping outfit.
Singer Myleene rocked the jaw-dropping ensemble as she made her way through London over the weekend to host her radio show.
The stunning star was head-to-toe in black, with black lace legs and a matching lace bodysuit.
The presenter, 46, accessorised the unique look with a black cropped designer hoodie and black trainers.
She added to the fashion statement with a Chanel necklace, a chunky gold watch and black sunglasses.
The former singer completed her look with natural make-up, with her long glossy hair down in loose waves.
It comes just weeks after Myleene revealed what really gets her in the mood during an appearance on Loose Women.
Referencing Brooke Shields‘ autobiography, in which she details her thoughts on sex as a 59-year-old woman, Jane Moore put the same question to her fellow panelists.
Myleene, who shares five-year-old daughter Ava with her husband Graham Quinn, revealed what gets her turned on now she’s a busy mum.
The model explained that when it comes to getting in the mood for women, it’s a’ slow burn’.
“I think all these ideas of tequila and setting the mood and music, it’s not about those five minutes, it’s about the whole day,” she said.
“It’s about the cup of tea, it’s about kindness, put a shelf up and things are going to look way more promising for the evening.”
Myleene went on to say that being proactive about tasks in the home and looking after your partner and family is her idea of “foreplay.”
“It’s not just what goes on in the bedroom, it’s actually what goes on in your relationship,” she continued.
And while she acknowledged that society doesn’t find this idea as “enticing,” she said that putting time and effort into a relationship is the biggest turn on.
“It’s not all about lace and lotion, it’s about conversations, a cup of tea, and some DIY,” she said as she cringed at all the money she had previously spent on lingerie.
