LONDON
\nThe Tottenham Hotspur Supporters\u2019 Trust accused the Premier League club of a lack of ambition on Friday following a meeting with senior officials, citing a quiet mid-season transfer window and remarks by manager Thomas Frank as primary concerns.
\nSpurs, who have won only two of their last 12 Premier League games, are placed 14th in the table with 27 points. The supporters\u2019 anger was aggravated after a few Spurs players were involved in a heated exchange with travelling fans following a 3-2 loss to Bournemouth on Wednesday.
\nThe trust\u2019s statement also pointed to Frank\u2019s controversial actions, such as his use of a cup bearing rival Arsenal\u2019s insignia, and recent post-match comments.
\nAfter a scoreless draw against Brentford, fans chanted \u201cboring, boring Tottenham\u201d, and Frank was greeted with a chorus of boos when he went to applaud travelling supporters.
\n\u201cThere also appears to be a dramatic fall in ambition for the football club, as evidenced by the transfer window to date and repeated statements by Thomas Frank,\u201d the statement read.
\nThe statement said the situation at the club has reminded \u201csupporters that the club finished 17th in the Premier League last season, that the club is only participating in the Champions League through winning the Europa League\u201d.
\nIt also cited Frank\u2019s post-match comments \u201cthat Bournemouth (a side without a win in 11 games) are \u2018always a difficult team\u2019 and that he is \u2018not enjoying the job\u2019\u201d as troublesome.
\nThe trust accused the players of \u201cdirectly confronting them for exercising their right to express themselves\u201d and said a recent social media post by club captain Cristian Romero was an embarrassment.
\nThe Argentine apologised in his post to the fans after the Bournemouth defeat and suggested it should not be the players having to front up to the supporters.
\nIn his original post, Romero said it should be \u201cother people coming out to speak, but they don\u2019t\u201d. He later deleted the post.
\nThe trust called on the club leadership to maintain transparency with the fans, starting with the mid-season transfer window, to demonstrate the seriousness of the club.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
