A Tottenham supporter group say their planned protest against West Ham will go ahead despite the signing of Conor Gallagher.
‘Change For Tottenham’ has reiterated its message that it has ‘decided to take action’ with five key areas of discontent.
It’s a huge game for both teams on Saturday, with Spurs boss Thomas Frank and Nuno Espirito Santo under intense pressure.
Emotions at Spurs have reached boiling point with the club languishing in 14th spot. A large number of fans are unhappy with Frank, and Oliver Glasner is the favourite to become the next Tottenham manager.
Likewise, with Nuno, the Portuguese boss is the firm favourite in the Premier League sack race after three victories from his 17 top-flight matches.
Given Spurs’ dismal home record, which includes just two victories this season, it could prove a tight affair, which is highlighted by AI’s best bets for Tottenham against West Ham based on statistics.
Tottenham Protest To Go Ahead
A statement from Change For Tottenham made on social media said: “We have decided to take action on Saturday 17th January starting at 2pm before the West Ham game.”
It adds: “There is growing frustration with the fan base surrounding the board’s transfer strategy, clarity on the Director of Football role, our continuous injury crisis season after season, recent results/performances and the extortionate ticket prices.
“We believe acting now will hopefully mean our voices are heard at such a pivotal time during the January transfer window.”
The plans for the protest include meeting outside the Corner Pin pub before heading into the concourse. They encourage supporters to wear yellow as it is their ‘colour for change.’
Spurs announced this week that Sporting Director Fabio Paratici will leave the club at the end of the January transfer window to join Fiorentina.
His time at the club was shrouded in controversy when he served a two-and-a-half-year ban for alleged financial irregularities dating back to his spell with Juventus.
Injuries have been a major problem for Frank this season, and one of the reasons why the club have struggled for form and consistency.
The likes of Mohammed Kudus, James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, Lucas Bergvall, Dominic Solanke and Rodrigo Bentacur are all on the treatment table.
We recognise the club have taken a step in the right direction, but we demand more.
Join us this Saturday at 2pm. https://t.co/N4W2WNKxkh

Conor Gallagher Could Save Thomas Frank
Gallagher completed his £35million switch from Atletico Madrid to North London on Wednesday and is likely to be straight into the squad to face the Hammers.
His arrival is a statement of intent from the Spurs board, who are prepared to back Frank despite the ongoing fan pressure.
His versatility in the middle of the park will be a major boost.
Frank will likely use him as a midfield pairing alongside either Joao Palhinha, Archie Gray or Pape Sarr.
Gallagher ranks in the top 10% of midfielders for interceptions, showcasing his ability to read passing lanes and his tenacity off the ball.
However, he likes to get forward when required and will be able to carry Spurs up the pitch.
That could improve their attacking numbers, which will in turn help the likes of summer signing Xavi Simons, who has struggled for form this season.
Frank and Tottenham will be hoping his arrival can be the catalyst to turn around their form.
