This statement…

[Sam Cornish @samliamcornish]

@BlueWatchmonk @TottenhamTiers We’ve seen it all before. No evidence to suggest anything has changed here

[Sam Cornish @samliamcornish]

@AaronleePenfold Yeah this is it, and they’ll get what they want in that

Almost as if it's season ticket renewal time 🤔

“Actions speak louder than words” will go no further than releasing this statement.

No amount of PR savvy words will undo the damage the Lewis family and their staff have done to the club and its culture.

[Tottenham Tiers @TottenhamTiers]

#Tottenham owners, The Lewis Family, have released a letter to the fans:

To the fans,

As owners of 25 years, we have lived the highs and lows of Spurs with you.

Finishing 17th this and last season does not reflect the stature or potential of this football club. We are bitterly disappointed and share your frustration. You, and we, expect more than this. We know this must never happen again.

Our approach to running the Club is, and has been, to trust the experts to do that, while backing them to be successful. The problems we found were deeper than we realised and were allowed to build over the last few years. We know that has eroded trust and we have to win that back. As owners, we take ultimate responsibility for the situation in which the Club finds itself.

We also take responsibility for rebuilding Spurs. Our ambition is to recapture the spirit of the Club and bring back the excitement, the fearlessness and the bold football we have always felt defined us. That means football comes first. The Board and Executive team have laid out their plans to meet this ambition.

This will require investment – in our teams, the academy, our backroom functions and more - and we are fully committed to this. We are not selling the Club. We are all in. We are investing in it. You will see more of this in the coming months.

We care deeply about Spurs. The rebuild the Club needs, and you deserve, has begun. The change required is deep. It will take time and commitment, but change is happening.

We know that actions will speak louder than words.

The Lewis Family

🗣️ Peter Charrington’s message to #Tottenham fans

Dear Supporters,

On Sunday, despite a season that gave you so little, you gave everything. A full stadium, full voice, full belief, until the final whistle. I have thought carefully about how to begin this letter, and in the end that moment said it better than I can. It is why we owe you honesty about where we have fallen short, and what we are committed to now.
Last September, we recognised that something seismic had to change at Spurs. The Lewis family stepped in and authorised a full reset. That decision was not taken lightly, and it came later than it should have. But what has been put in motion is real, and it marks a genuine break from what had come before.

As part of that process, we discovered some uncomfortable truths. The qualities that make Spurs distinct, our football, our ambition, the connection between the team and its supporters, had been allowed to fade. Football success had not been driving our decisions. We did not have the right expertise in key roles. We did not build squads good enough to compete in the most demanding league in the world. Two 17th place finishes in a row is not acceptable, and we will not dress it up as anything other than falling well short of what this Club expects.

Since September, we have restructured leadership across the Club, with a refreshed executive and football structure. Most of this team are already in post and others will arrive in the coming weeks. The Board are committed to this leadership group and will give them the stability and support they need to run this Club in the right way.
Roberto De Zerbi is signed as Men's Head Coach for five years, a reflection of our belief in his ability and our commitment to build back to where we need to be. He is passionate, committed and positive in everything he does, and represents the kind of football and ambition that Tottenham Hotspur should stand for.

Our commitments to you are clear:
• We will build a squad, led by Roberto as Head Coach, with the right blend of experience, youth and leadership to compete at the highest levels of Premier League and European football.
• We will invest across multiple transfer windows to rebuild, balance and strengthen, with this summer representing an important first step in that work.
• We will continue to modernise our football operation, with a significant focus on raising standards across medical and performance.
• We will increase investment in the Academy to ensure that the pathway from youth football to the first team is one of the strongest in the country.
• We will build on a strong season for Spurs Women by continuing to invest in a world-class women's team, led by Martin Ho.

Since becoming Chairman, I have realised that Spurs fans are built differently. I have seen it over and over again in the last nine months, across every generation, in every conversation. Even in the darkest of seasons, you showed up and carried this team. That loyalty is not something we take for granted. It is something we are determined to be worthy of.

There has been speculation about ownership and the future direction of the Club. Let us be direct. Tottenham Hotspur is not for sale. The Lewis family are wholly committed to this Club and to this rebuild. They will provide the stability and investment needed at every level to move us forward, and they see that as a long-term responsibility, not a short-term fix.
This season fell well short of what Tottenham Hotspur demands. We must be in the fight with the best teams in this league, every season, and we are rebuilding this Club with that standard in mind.

This Club lives in the hearts of everyone who has ever loved it. It has been carried through living rooms and stands, weekends and long journeys home.

We will get back to where we belong.

Peter Charrington

There’s gonna be a lot of deleted tweets if it turns out Romero’s back for the game and it was all just the media whipping up a frenzy

[Billie @Billie_T]

Love Tottenham. Hate ENIC. That’s the motive. Need the best atmosphere the stadium has ever seen in the hardest situation ever. Greet the coach at 2 if you want to or stay in the pub, people should do what they like. After the final whistle we gotta let the board have it. Look for CFT banners at full time and join in if you hate ENIC, regardless of the outcome.

@jonoblain Been buzzing for it to all be over since January

@OGRes1010 @chrisTHFC13 @ncv_THFC 100%

[Sam Cornish @samliamcornish]

@chrisTHFC13 Yeah hard agree. My post was more about just wait and find out before you call the guy every name under the sun. Spurs know exactly what they're doing letting him go and not saying anything about it too

[Sam Cornish @samliamcornish]

@wan26259 @tubblesmeister Culture comes from the top of the club

[Sam Cornish @samliamcornish]

@ifknhatemyclub thanks for confirming
