Bouncing to Argentina for a playoff game while the squad is preparing for a relegation final against Everton is genuinely terminal behavior from Romero.
Love that De Zerbi didn't protect him at all.
Asked Roberto De Zerbi if he understands why Spurs fans are so unhappy with Cristian Romero: "100%."

Just let us get relegated. Hard reset, ship the players, change the board. I can’t even believe I’m typing this, but we are so cooked it’s the only way back.
We are witnessing a masterclass in how to dismantle a football club. From the boardroom to the pitch, this relegation is a collective failure.
A historic blueprint on exactly how not to run an organization.
