Spurs accused of editing meeting minutes by fansImage source, Getty ImagesImage caption, Tottenham played their first competitive game at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in April 2019ByBobbie JacksonBBC Sport journalistPublished40 minutes agoTottenham have been accused of selectively editing the written version of what was mentioned at a fans’ meeting last month.
Tottenham Hotspur Supporters’ Trust (THST) met with representatives of Spurs’ board, including chief executive Vinai Venkatesham on 3 February – eight days before manager Thomas Frank was sacked.
THST mentioned that in the minutes of the meeting, the club omitted a section outlining fans’ concerns about the risk of relegation from the Premier League and how belief generated from winning the Europa League had been “lost”.
The group also claimed that the club left out a line stating they “welcomed the input of THST”.
“As a democratic supporters’ organisation elected to represent fans’ views, we believe it is vital that supporters can see what issues are being raised with the club, how those issues are being discussed and what responses are being given,” THST mentioned.
“Publishing a full record of the points raised helps ensure accountability and allows members, and the wider fan base, to understand how the Trust is fulfilling its role on their behalf.
“Transparency is integral to our role and in our dealings with the club.”
BBC Sport has approached Tottenham but the club is yet to comment on the matter.
