Cristian Romero lets loose on Tottenham board as Ange Postecoglou decision made

Cristian Romero admits he thinks Tottenham Hotspur's struggles stem from the boardroom rather than the dugout.

Ange Postecoglou's side hit a new low when they allowed an early 2-0 lead to slip against fierce rivals Chelsea on Sunday, going on to lose 4-3 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. It was a result which not only left them 11th in the Premier League, but also summed up their Jekyll and Hyde tendencies under the Australian boss.

Despite their form, Daniel Levy retains confidence in Postecoglou, who is under the most pressure he has been under since arriving at the club from Celtic in the summer of 2023. Romero, 26, would be pleased with Levy's belief in Postecoglou, as the Argentinian World Cup winner thinks Spurs' problems are several desks above his manager.

He told Telemundo: "Manchester City fight every year for the tournament, Liverpool too, Chelsea is strengthening all the time despite the results... these are things to imitate. You have to realize that they are failing at something.

“It has always been the same in recent years. Every year players come and go and even the coaching staff changes, but everything remains the same.

“I hope they realise who is truly responsible for this so they can move forward because this is a beautiful club that, with the structure it has, can easily fight for the title every year."

He also added: "Hopefully they will realise who is truly responsible for this so we can move forward, because this is a beautiful club that, with the structure it has, can easily fight for the title every year.”

Liverpool legend turned Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher recently suggested Levy should step aside and allow somebody else to oversee the footballing operations of Spurs. He said: "It’s probably time for somebody else to come in because to not win a trophy in that period of time with the managers they have had, they’ve never really gone out of their way in the transfer market.

"They’ve spent decent money without blowing other teams out of the water, their wage bill is always one of the smallest and you’re never going to get the best players.

"So it might be time for actually Daniel Levy – who I’ve been a supporter of because you look at the actual work that he’s done – but now that work is done in terms of a stadium and a training ground, someone else needs to be in charge of this football club."

Tottenham host Rangers in the Europa League on December 12, before travelling to Southampton, for what could prove to be a pivotal game for their season, on Sunday, December 15.

In his post-match press conference on Sunday, Postecoglou issued a rallying call to his team when he said: "I think it is something we need to tackle head on and keep pushing on.

"There is still plenty to play for us between now and January just to make sure we keep performing. I still sense within this squad there is a real conviction in what we are doing and if we maintain that we will turn our season around and hopefully at some point we hit some smoother waters in terms of some of the things that are happening at the moment. Some of it is self inflicted and hopefully we can get some more consistency."
