Tottenham fans plan to protest, demanding clubs increase signing efforts
Tottenham's players' introduction work this summer has been in trouble, and they have suffered repeated setbacks in the transfer market. Dissatisfied with the team's poor transfer operations, a Tottenham fan organization called "change for tottenham" issued a statement calling for protests against team senior officials in the weekend's home game against Bournemouth.
The following is the original translation of the "statement":
First congratulations to the team and head coach Frank for defeating Manchester City away. Despite a good start to the season, fans remain convinced that Frank needs more capable players to deal with multi-line combat.
In view of the recent failure of the transfer strategy and the strong dissatisfaction among the fan base, we announced that a protest march will be held during the match against Bournemouth and no consumption will be made in this game.
The protest was because the summer transfer window failed to meet Tottenham fans' expectations. Although the team has a good record at the beginning of the season, the team lacks enough strength and lineup depth to deal with competition in various events.
This is not a protest against Frank or the players, but a call on the board to provide the support our coach needs. The protests can be cancelled if the club can act decisively and bring in the required players before the match against Bournemouth. Even after this game, there are still two days left in the transfer window, and the opportunity should not be missed.
We have heard calls for boycotting merchandise around the team, and while we think it will have a bad impact on the team, we hope to have such a protest in a television game for the first time to get the most media attention.
We urge fans not to spend on the stadium, which will affect the board of directors' revenue sources, thus forcing senior management to make improvements as soon as possible. Please do not spend at club shops, bars on the court and food stalls around the court. We recommend that you spend money at merchants that have nothing to do with Tottenham.
"change for tottenham" has had direct exchanges with the club on issues such as the stadium atmosphere, season goals and club development direction. Now told that future conversations will only be conducted through official fan organizations, fan forums and trusts. We respect this decision, but only if these institutions and channels can truly convey the opinions of fans. In the future, we will oversee clubs and fan organizations to ensure that our voices are not ignored.
If Frank does not receive enough support from the club, we will upgrade the action, including:
protests on the court.
Interfere with club sponsors through targeted events.
A high-profile protest was held in a location far away from the stadium and with high traffic.
Through media pressure, more people in the football world understand our dissatisfaction.
These plans will be initiated without the club taking any substantial improvement actions.
The message we want to convey is: fans are the heart of the club. We demand ambition, responsibility and appropriate investment to match Spurs’ potential. Silence is not a choice, unite, we have the ability to shape the future of the club.
