Tottenham<\/a> have been accused of selectively editing the written version of what was said at a fans’ meeting last month.<\/p>\n

Tottenham Hotspur<\/a> Supporters’ Trust (THST) met with representatives of Spurs’ board, including chief executive Vinai Venkatesham on 3 February – eight days before manager Thomas Frank was sacked.<\/p>\n

THST said that in the minutes of the meeting, the club omitted a section outlining fans’ concerns about the risk of relegation from the Premier League and how belief generated from winning the Europa League had been “lost”.<\/p>\n

The group also claimed that the club left out a line stating they “welcomed the input of THST”.<\/p>\n

“As a democratic supporters’ organisation elected to represent fans’ views, we believe it is vital that supporters can see what issues are being raised with the club, how those issues are being discussed and what responses are being given,” THST said.<\/p>\n

“Publishing a full record of the points raised helps ensure accountability and allows members, and the wider fan base, to understand how the Trust is fulfilling its role on their behalf. <\/p>\n

“Transparency is integral to our role and in our dealings with the club.”<\/p>\n

Tottenham<\/a> declined to comment on the matter but sources close to the club have told BBC Sport that the re-cap of the meeting was always intended to be broad, and not an exhaustive recount of the forum. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tottenham have been accused of selectively editing the written version of what was said at a fans’ meeting…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":430405,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":{"0":"post-430404","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-headlines","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-top-news","11":"tag-top-stories","12":"tag-topnews","13":"tag-topstories"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/430404","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=430404"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/430404\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/430405"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=430404"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=430404"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=430404"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
