Tottenham captain Cristian Cuti Romero has delivered a blistering assessment of the situation at the club following another damaging Premier League setback, questioning the leadership and accountability behind the scenes as pressure continues to mount on Spurs, Softfootball reports.
According to Fabrizio Romano via his official X handle, Romero did not hold back after Tottenham’s 2-1 defeat to Brentford last night a result that marked their third loss in six matches, with the club’s only win in that run coming away at Crystal Palace (1-0). The inconsistent form has left Spurs struggling to build momentum and has increased frustration within the dressing room.
Speaking candidly after the match, the Argentine defender suggested that responsibility is not being shared equally during difficult moments, hinting at long-standing issues within the club’s hierarchy. Cutisaid:
Cuti Romero: 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.
Romero’s comments come at a sensitive time for Tottenham, who are still adjusting to significant structural changes off the pitch. Earlier this season, the club underwent a major leadership shift, with long-time chairman and CEO Daniel Levy stepping away after 24 years in charge. Ownership group ENIC has since taken a more direct role in overseeing the club’s operations, a transition that has not gone unnoticed by players and supporters alike.
The defeat to Brentford has further exposed Spurs’ fragility during a demanding period of the campaign, with injuries, form issues, and growing scrutiny surrounding decision-making at the top. Romero’s remarks are likely to resonate strongly with fans who have long voiced concerns about transparency and accountability within the club.
As Tottenham look to steady their season, the focus will now turn to whether those above the pitch respond to the captain’s comments or if silence will once again follow during the hard times.
