Romero Criticises Spurs Silence as Pressure Mounts on Leadership

Cristian Romero has been spoken to by head coach Thomas Frank after an apparent swipe at Tottenham’s board during the club’s poor run of form. The Spurs captain posted a strongly worded message on social media following defeat at Bournemouth, initially accusing club leaders of speaking “lies” before editing the post. While the wording was softened, Romero still appeared to criticise the hierarchy for staying silent during difficult periods. Tottenham have taken just five points from their last six matches and sit 14th in the Premier League. Since Daniel Levy stepped aside earlier this season, the club has been run by a new leadership group including non-executive chair Peter Charrington and chief executive Vinai Venkatesham. Frank confirmed internal discussions were held with Romero, stressing leadership responsibilities and the importance of keeping issues in-house. Romero later apologised to supporters and called for unity, with teammates including Richarlison and Pedro Porro publicly backing him.
