Tottenham, the players refund the ticket after the defeat against Newcastle – Corriere.it

Nothing will change, but the gesture of the Tottenham players, to refund the tickets, was appreciated by the fans who witnessed the poor impression made by their team, defeated 6-1 by Newcastle on Sunday 23 April (down 5-0 after just 20 ‘). A debacle that will remain forever in the memory of Tottenham supporters, but the initiative of the London club squad, which in the space of a month and a half said goodbye to Antonio Conte (who returned to Italy after the termination of the contract) and Cristian Stellini (promoted from the role of deputy and sacked after the heavy knockout), is really commendable. In fact, they have decided to refund the tickets to their fans.

In this way alleviate their (sporting) disappointment after the embarkation taken on the surreal Sunday afternoon spent at St James’ Park: «As a team we understand your frustration and your anger. We weren’t enough – is the message from the players published on the club’s social profile -. We know words aren’t enough in situations like this, but believe us, a defeat like this hurts.”

And again: «We appreciate your support, at home and away, for this very reason We want to refund the cost of tickets to the St James’ Park match to the fans. We know this won’t change what happened, but we will do everything we can to make things right as early as Thursday night against Manchester United when, once again, your support means the world to us. Together, and only together, can we move forward.” As mentioned, it will not erase the heavy defeat. But it certainly remains an important act of sensitivity. A truly applause gesture for Tottenham, now entrusted to Ryan Mason.
