Tottenham fans to hold crisis talks with board

The Tottenham Hotspur Supporters Trust will hold a meeting with the club's board next week in an attempt to ease the unrest among fans regarding their teams performances. Striker Emmanuel Adebayor reacted to boos at the weekend, stating the team is deeply affected and would rather play away to avoid them - something THST's secretary Kat Law regards as yet another in a "long list of excuses".

"Fans have every right to express their opinion. We are stakeholders, we pay an awful lot of money to go to games and we're being served at sub-standard fare to be perfectly honest," Law told Sky Sports.

"It feels like the fans have been added to a long list of excuses for why the team is underperforming and why things are clearly not right from top to bottom at the club.

"We understand where Adebayor is coming from and pleased he referenced that he gets why we're frustrated. But it would have been better if nothing was said at all.

"It feels like the fans have been added to a long list of excuses for why the team is underperforming and why things are clearly not right from top to bottom at the club.

"There's a huge disconnect between our fanbase and the club right now and an awful lot of unrest. There has been a growing movement amongst fans who've had enough and feel it's time for a change at the top. Whatever the movements are, 'Levy out' or' Enic out' - they are mobilising.

"From a Trust point of view, however, we're not reactive and we're very wary of calling for regime change when you don't know what the alternative is. We have a dialogue with this board, we're meeting with them next Thursday and we'll ask the questions that need to be asked on behalf of our fanbase."
