Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy is 'shaken' by the backlash received following widespread condemnation expressed towards the proposal of the European Super League.

Spurs were one of six Premier League clubs, along with rivals Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United, who signed up to join the new breakaway competition, which was announced late on Sunday evening.

A meeting was held on Tuesday between Premier League chief executive Richard Masters and the other 14 clubs who were left out of the breakaway league to share their views and discuss what plans of action the league should take.

According to The Sun, Levy spoke with Brighton & Hove Albion chief executive Paul Barber before this meeting, expressing how he may have misjudged the mood of the fans in this country and across Europe.

Barber, a former board member at Tottenham, told the other clubs that Levy said this was "not what I wanted, or expected".

"Daniel says this all grew from a feeling that UEFA simply doesn't listen to us as a league. He believes the big clubs deserve more respect and more money," the Seagulls chief added.

Since Tuesday's meeting, Man City became the first club to announce that they have withdrawn from the competition, while the other five Premier League clubs have also filed documents that will see them follow suit.
