Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy has been defended after the sacking of caretaker manager Cristian Stellini.
Stellini was dumped by Levy on Monday after Sunday's 6-1 meltdown at top four rivals Newcastle United.
Pundit and former Chelsea striker Chris Sutton said on BBC Sport: This can't all be on Stellini.
Spurs' statement is interesting, Daniel Levy saying 'I am taking responsibility for it'. A lot of people myself included when they went for Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte, thought they were good appointments.
Where I do feel sorry for Levy is Conte ended up being a traitor and letting Levy down and throwing him, the supporters and players under the bus.
He is a fire-starter, this was always going to go one of two ways. He is gone and fact of the matter is he hasn't taken any of the responsibility. From Levy's point of view he was really let down by Conte."
