Absolutely this. Seems to me that if you're a Spurs Manager you have to make sure you get this into the press as soon as possible to cover your own arse. Levy calls the shots at the club and players come and go down to him, not the Manager. Not the first time that AVB has used the press to put or keep pressure on Levy, and he isn't the first Spurs Manager to do it either.
I expect as Levy continues to frustrate him in the transfer market we'll see more and more comments from AVB of this nature. So far we've had Spurs must spend big, Spurs must sort out their transfer dealings early and the Chairman has given assurances that Bale isn't going anywhere. All not so subtle hints to Levy as to what is needed. Will Levy listen? What with AVB's agent spreading the PSG rumours (very similar to what Jol did with Saudi Sportswashing Machine and that cost Jol his job long term, Levy never forgave him for that) it's a worrying sign that this relationship will go there same way as the others. Cross Levy at your peril AVB. At least now there is Baldini to act as the buffer, and from other recent AVB quotes regarding that topic that must be heaven for AVB.
