Tottenham Captain Cristian Romero Publicly Rebukes Club Board After Late Bournemouth Defeat

The captain’s outburst followed a stoppage‑time defeat, intensifying scrutiny of a board under pressure from the team’s prolonged slump.

Overview

  • Romero posted an Instagram apology to supporters, accepted player responsibility, and criticized club leaders for staying silent in bad times before editing out a line accusing them of telling lies.
  • Richarlison reacted with an applause emoji and Pedro Porro commented supportively, signaling public backing from teammates.
  • Reports say Spurs conceded in the 95th minute and have one win in their last six matches, leaving them 14th in the Premier League.
  • Head coach Thomas Frank called Romero’s message an error and said the matter was addressed internally ahead of the FA Cup tie against Aston Villa.
  • Media noted heated exchanges between some Tottenham players and traveling fans after the match and recalled Romero’s earlier public critiques of the club’s leadership in 2024.
