Tottenham’s players have offered to reimburse the cost of match tickets for supporters who travelled to their 6-1 defeat at Newcastle. Spurs were five goals behind within 21 minutes at St James’ Park as they suffered an humiliating defeat against their rivals for a top-four spot.
Chairman Daniel Levy sacked caretaker manager Cristian Stellini the day after the loss and now the club’s players have offered to refund fans who bought tickets for the match.
“As a squad, we understand your frustration, your anger,” the squad said in a statement. “It wasn’t good enough. We know words aren’t enough in situations like this but believe us, a defeat like this hurts. We appreciate your supports, home and away, and with this in mind we would like to reimburse fans with the cost of their match tickets from St James’ Park.
“We know this does not change what happened on Sunday and we will give everything to put things right against Manchester United on Thursday evening when, again, your support will mean everything to us. Together – and only together – can we move things forward.”
