Cristian Romero: Tottenham captain appears to blast Spurs hierarchy in now-edited social media post

Tottenham captain Cristian Romero appeared to blast the club’s hierarchy for “lies” in a now-edited social media post.

Following Wednesday’s 3-2 defeat at Bournemouth, which leaves Spurs 14th in the Premier League table, Romero took to Instagram in the early hours to post a cryptic message, which seemed to be aimed at those above him.

It read: “At times like this, it should be other people coming out to speak, but they don’t – as has been happening for several years now.

“They only show up when things are going well, to tell a few lies.”

However, the post, which has been supported by team-mates Richarlison and Pedro Porro, has since been edited to remove the words “to tell a few lies”.

Romero’s full post now reads: “Apologies to all fans of you who follow us everywhere, who are always there and will continue to be.

“We are responsible, there’s no doubt about that. I am the first. But we will keep facing up to it and trying to turn the situation around, for ourselves and for the club.

“At times like this, it should be other people coming out to speak, but they don’t – as has been happening for several years now. They only show up when things are going well.

“We’ll stay here, working, sticking together and giving our all to turn things around. Especially at times like this, keeping quiet, working harder and moving forward all together is part of football.

“All together, it will be easier.”
