ESL ANGER
A small group of Tottenham fans are protesting outside the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
They are heard chanting, “We want our Tottenham back” and “Levy out”.
Chairman Daniel Levy shared a statement after Spurs’ withdrawal from the European Super League.
Levy said: “We regret the anxiety and upset caused by the ESL proposal.
“We felt it was important that our club participated in the development of a possible new structure that sought to better ensure financial fair play and financial sustainability whilst delivering significantly increased support for the wider football pyramid.
“We believe that we should never stand still and that the sport should constantly review competitions and governance to ensure the game we all love continues to evolve and excite fans around the world.
“We should like to thank all those supporters who presented their considered opinions”
OUT OF THEIR LEAGUE
Tottenham were among the 12 clubs that shocked the world of football when they announced their intention to break away and form the controversial European Super League.
Spurs joined fellow “big six” clubs Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United along with Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Juventus, AC Milan and Inter Milan.
All six Premier League sides withdrew from the proposed format, which sparked worldwide anger, on Tuesday with City and the Blues being the first to pull out.
Inter and Milan followed soon after and that marked the beginning of the end for what many described as a “closed-shop” competition.
An announcement from the European Super League then followed stating that plans have been suspended
Tottenham fans were among those who passionately protested against that intiative
GOOD AFTERNOON FROM TOTTENHAM
Welcome to our live coverage of the Premier League clash between Tottenham and Southampton at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Spurs were among the 12 teams that announced their intention to break away and form the European Super League, a move that brought the world of football to some rage-filled disarray.
However, the north Londoners along with the rest of the Premier League’s “big six” pulled out of the controversial format, which was condemned by governing bodies, fans, players, legends, pundits and journalists alike.
But that wasn’t the only crisis Tottenham have endured the last three days as manager Jose Mourinho was let go on Monday following a series of poor results.
Former player Ryan Mason has taken over as interim head coach for the time being at the young age of 29 years old.
Mason’s coaching debut won’t be without problems as star striker Harry Kane is likely to miss out due to an ankle injury he suffered in Mourinho’s last game in charge against Everton last week.
Ben Davies is also still sidelined due to an ankle issue of his own but Matt Doherty is back in contention after overcoming a muscle problem.
Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl will welcome back Liverpool loanee Takumi Minamino, who was cup-tied and therefore couldn’t play last week in the FA Cup semi-final loss to Leicester at Wembley.
Michael Obafemi has returned to training after a muscle injury he suffered four months ago but Oriol Romeu and William Smallbone remain sidelined with an ankle and knee injury respectively
