'Sunday's performance at Newcastle was wholly UNACCEPTABLE': Daniel Levy takes 'ultimate responsibility' as he releases 163-word statement sacking Christian Stellini as interim boss

Daniel Levy has slammed Tottenham's embarrassing 6-1 weekend defeat against Newcastle as 'wholly unacceptable' as he explained the reasons behind the decision to fire interim head coach Cristian Stellini.

Levy decided to remove the Italian from his temporary position following a torrid afternoon at St James' Park that saw Eddie Howe's Newcastle side score five goals in 21 minutes.

The Spurs chairman was fuming with his team's capitulation in their chase for the Champions League places and attempted to summarise recent struggles in the club's statement that announced Stellini's departure.
