Cristian Romero Criticizes Tottenham Board Following Poor Run Of Form

Tottenham defender, Cristian Romero, has said the club’s board are the “true responsible ones” for a lack of progress after a run of one win in seven games.

Romero spoke to Spanish broadcaster Telemundo following Sunday’s 4-3 loss to Chelsea, which positioned Spurs 11th in the Premier League.

“Manchester City competes every year, you see how Liverpool strengthens its squad, Chelsea strengthens their squad, doesn’t do well, strengthens again, and now they’re seeing results. Those are the things to imitate,” said the Argentine international in quotes widely circulated in British media.

“You have to realize that something is going wrong. Hopefully, they (the board) realize it.”

In August, Tottenham set a new transfer record by signing Dominic Solanke for up to £65 million.

However, the majority of the club’s estimated £125 million expenditure in the summer transfer window was allocated to promising young players like Archie Gray, Wilson Odobert, and Lucas Bergvall, who have seen limited action with the first team.

Spurs manager, Ange Postecoglou, faces a potentially decisive week of his reign with a trip to Rangers in the Europa League on Thursday followed by a visit to bottom-of-the-table Southampton and a League Cup quarter-final against Manchester United.

The Australian is the fifth manager, including interim coaches, that Romero has played for since joining Tottenham in 2021.

Spurs have not won a trophy since 2008 despite boasting one of the world’s best stadiums and a state-of-the-art training ground.

“The last few years, it’s always the same – first the players, then the coaching staff changes, and it’s always the same people responsible,” added the center-back.

“Hopefully, they realize who the true responsible ones are, and we move forward because it’s a beautiful club that, with the structure it has, could easily be competing for the title every year.”
