“Utter utter disgrace” Spurs fans slam their team’s decision to join European Super League

By Bruce Grove -

Tottenham has suffered a fair amount of backlash from their fans after it was revealed last night that they are one of the founding members of the European Super League.

This breakaway competition offers the Lilywhites the opportunity to compete in a top-level competition without needing to qualify through the Premier League standings.

They are arguably the smallest of England’s top six who have agreed to join the new competition and if it succeeds, they will benefit financially and can finally forget going through the hassle of playing for the top four.

This idea looks profitable in the long-term, but not all Tottenham fans agree with it and they made sure the club knew that.

They posted a statement on their official Twitter account about their decision to be a founding member of the new competition and there were mixed reactions from fans, mainly negative.

Some were so damning, we simply had to curate them here:

I thought the game was invented in 1992 by murdoch .

Keep calm everyone.

I honestly believe this is a bargaining chip for those clubs to be able to negotiate their own TV packages.

Do those clubs want to be kicked out of the Prem? No.

Does the Prem want them out? No.

We could become the East Stirlingshire – the Falkirk based club (actually, they and Falkirk’s ground is in Grangemouth now, I believe), who kept coming bottom of the league in Scotland until they were finally kicked out – of the new league. “(Spurs) this is a special spoon: we were allowed to retain it when we finished bottom for a third consecutive season.” But, seriously, will we be able to compete against such august company. It will help having our stadium debt obliterated, of course.

LanDscape, of course! Any spelling mistakes from me are likely to be due to my typing skills rather than my spelling ones!

“Europe’s leading clubs”. Yes, incredible, isn’t it? We still haven’t passed Preston North End’s number of league titles, won in the first two years of the Football League’s existence, though we’ve been trying for about the last 130 years!

I imagine we won’t need anyone to polish our trophies, as they will be of the wooden variety. But we may need someone to arrange our display of spoons!

Like many others, I imagine, I originally thought it would be so typical of us if we were the first club for donks that he didn’t win a trophy at, though I suspected he might win a League Cup.

I’ve already been on my soap box on a previous blog as to what I think of the new league. Suffice to say here, it’s not my idea of what TRUE SPORT is all about but, in truth, we’ve been travelling along this road since the Premiership was established nearly thirty years ago now.. or The Greed is Good League as I often refer to it run essentially for the benefit of the few and having a ruinous effect on the democracy of the sport generally ie a club as big as Benfica with the biggest club membership in Europe (admittedly, it’s not just a football club but, like Real Madrid, a sports club) unable to make an impression on the CL because of inadequate TV money and this applies to other clubs which once had a real standing in the game. So many clubs around with huge support who can’t punch that weight in the modern game.

The dubious (kind word, really) businessmen who run our clubs have identified the casual armchair fan (one probably only interested in the “big” names) as the chief source for potential growth and to hell with the traditional fan on the terraces (what matters now is how many shirts can they sell in the US and Asia etc). We have learned this in cricket, too, where the paid up member of a county club often feels his views on the game and how it should be run are the only ones that don’t really count.

Congratulations are in order for our chairman in our latest bit of Spursiness. By sacking Jose just a week before the league cup final, we become, I think, the first club the Portuguese hasn’t won a trophy at since he was at Amadora (pretty grim suburb, though not as grim perhaps as Cacem, once just a railway junction and part of the pretty dismal lanscape encountered on the train between Lisbon and the fabled Sintra. (Lord Byron’s favourite place on earth and the only place he liked better than Albania!)

When you read things like governed by the clubs, this is a money and power grab by controlling interests. They won’t have to answer to anyone but a money lender let alone fans.

What supporter is going to be content watching a team come dead last in a table such as that, Being a supporter means nothing anymore. Take your number and shut it.

Throw them out of the Premier League and ban their players from International football and the whole thing will collapse tomorrow morning

I guarantee if the players are banned from International football, Harry Kane, Jordan Henderson will ask for transfers.

“Europe’s leading clubs”

How they can seriously post that, an implication that they are part of that group is astounding…..unless they’re talking about the debt table of course.

Tottenham Hotspur are no more.
