Tottenham chairman Peter Charrington has issued a remarkably candid apology to supporters. He recently had his say via an open letter highlighted by BBC Sport, and fans have been reacting.
Admitting that footballing success has been sidelined at the club for years, Peter apologized for allowing the connection between the team and its supporters to fade.
Charrington added that the people in charge deserve blame for failing to build squads good enough to compete in the EPL.
His words, “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.
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.
This season fell well short of what Tottenham 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. 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.”
WOW.
